Hi All,

I know there are timelines/timeframes on the website but they are allover the place.

I just want to have an idea of what to expect for the number of days it will take until

we get an interview & final approval for POE.

I appreciate any advice! :)

That depends on teh visa applied for. We are applying for CR1. Timeframe is 9 mos to 1 year to POE. We were 4 months at USCIS and have been with NVC now since Jan, still waiting for interview date. Good Luck and be patient. Is a longggggg process.

correct... you are looking at 9months to a year but I would definitely put the year in mind as thinking 9 months could end up making you frustrated when it turns out to be longer. My time line was about 11 months from start to finish.

Good luck

Our timeline was about 15 months. It took almost 6 months to get our initial I-130 approval and due to the lag in Montreal we had to wait 5 months for an interview date.
