It depends on 2 things, which visa and which consulate. I am assuming that since you said you have the IV bill then you are going for the CR1/IR1 visa. Ours took 4 months to process before it was ready to send to Morocco. But again, it depends on how your consulate processes their applications.

The K-3/K-1 visa take a lot less time at the NVC. Just in one week and out the next.

'Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO, What a Ride'
