I took 3 months and 1 day from when i mailed the NOA1 to the time i got the appointment date from NVC. Check out my timeline.

I don't know why it processed so quickly, but I am very thankful.

I sent all processors overwhelming evidence at each stage. I don't know if that helped any, but surely it did not hurt any. My wife and I paid extreme attention to the instructions and even if we had a suggestion of a question I picked up the phone and called to clarify. Sometimes 3-4 times if needed be.

I wish everyone could process this quickly or even faster. Good luck to all.

sometimes you can get lucky!

about 6 years ago I once had a very rapid AOS approval in just a couple of months, which was pretty good going for an employment based application (I-140) :) other people I knew had to wait a whole extra 2 years!

then last year my naturalization went fairly fast: application submission to oath ceremony in about 5 and a half months.... :)

unfortunately the I-130 for my wife took a year to be approved..... :( I never did find out why..... there were no delays or issues at the interview :)

I think my having overlapping naturalization, marriage and I-130 and I-129F applications was just too confusing for inexperienced USCIS adjudicators
