I 130 for children Delay -Please clarify

Hi
I am US Citizen and I just filed I130 for my son in 2nd week week of Feb2011 . And I noticed here many cases were approved for people who filed i130 and 485 together after my filing date . Why there is a delay if I just file I130. Please clarify.

Thanks in advance

I-130 approval for an under-21 child of a US citizen usually takes at least 3 months, and 5-6 months is more typical. Where are you seeing those "many cases" that are approved in 2 months or less?

Thanks in advance You need to clarify.

How old is the son? WHERE is he? If in the U.S. why would you only file the I-130 without the I-485? Is he in the U.S. illegally? Is he an out-of-wedlock child? Were you a USC when he was born?

You need to provide full details to get any useful reply.

Hi
My son is in India. He is not in US. His age is 15 years now (under 21) I came here on H1 and then got naturalized. Yes my son is born out of wedlock . I submitted all the documents including DNA report.
Please clarify
