Processing times are listed on line. I-130 processing times are almost equal to I-129F processing times

We know several who have tried the Consular process, and it didn't go well.

If this whole thing was Jack's idea and he is smart and not senile, why did it

Why would he do that when people will just give him (and GoFundMe) money instead?
