Baby is right. It all depends on your situation. Straightforward case, or if there are kids, previous marriages or previous petitions for former fiancees/wifes.

Also it depends on if you fill out everything correctly or get a request for evidence (this will slow down your processing).

It took 6 months for me to have the visa in hand.

Alles wird gut und wenn es noch nicht gut ist, ist es noch nicht vorbei.
