Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
Today, USCIS was processing I-130 petitions filed on October 22, 2012. Since the number of filed petitions varies from day to day, you cannot calculate the exact date when your petition will be processed, but can estimate it with a precision to +/- 3 days.

Immigration lawyer at Coane & Associates, PLLC
If you are sponsoring her as the wife of a USA citizen, it's a bit slow right now. It's not unusual to take a year (sometimes longer) until a visa is issued to immigrate. Some people try to get the future spouse a B-2 visitor visa so their future spouse/spouse can come and stay for visits.

What can I do if I am a green card holder arrested for domestic violence?

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. Although you have not been convicted, you have been arrested. If you are scheduled for an interview, and are asked about any arrest, you will have to admit to the arrest and probably have to explain to the immigration officer the facts surrounding the arrest. The fact that your wife wants to drop charges, may or may not help you. Once a police report has been made, the allegations and charges are sent to the District Attorney to determine whether to file charges with the court. The decision to file charges, reduce charges, prosecute a case or dismiss a case is solely at the discretion of the District Attorney or Prosecuting Attorney. Although the "victim" (your wife) may wish to have the charges dropped or dismissed, the final decision will be up to the D.A. Domestic violence is characterized as a crime of violence which will make you deportable, if convicted. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration and criminal defense attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give them all of the facts surrounding your situation. They would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.
