There is a lot of helpful information located on the USCIS and State Department website. (http://www.uscis.gov/i-130 and http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_2991.html). You will first file the I-130. After about 5 months, assuming it is approved, it will then be sent to the National Visa Center for the gathering of fees, forms and documents. Once that review is complete, your husband will be scheduled for an interview at the U.S. Consulate in Dar es Salaam. Generally from the filing of the I-130 until the interview is scheduled is about 10 months.
