There's no exact answer. It all depends. It may take 1-3 weeks. Just call the NVC to check your status.

K1 Visa Process -> 12/09-06/10 Married -> 09/10/10 AOS Process -> 09/10-12/10 Removal of Conditions-> 09/12-07/13

U.S. Naturalization -> 7/8/20

It all depends, in general it takes 6 to 8 weeks and that is if your quick with your payments and sending out packages. Prepare yourself Now getting all your documents ready so you can save time and triple Check everything to make sure you dont get aby RFE. That could back u up a few,days. Hope this helps and good luck on your journey!:-)

The OP is filing for a K1 Visa, not a marriage visa. There are no payments to the NVC or anything related. NVC deals with K1 visas and IR1/CR1 visas totally different.

K1 Visa Process -> 12/09-06/10 Married -> 09/10/10 AOS Process -> 09/10-12/10 Removal of Conditions-> 09/12-07/13

U.S. Naturalization -> 7/8/20

Ours took a month, so I suggest that you keep calling the NVC once a week.
