If so, check the priority date on the receipt notice you got back from the I-130. The current wait time for this kind of petition is about 12 years, unless they're from Mexico or the Philippines, in which case it will be longer. You can look at the Visa Bulletin (http://travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_...) to see which petitions they're processing right now, and that should give you an idea of about how much longer it will take.
