Hi ya all,

I am new to this site and like to give my greetings to all and say this is a fantastic site. I am becoming a US citizen tomorrow and finally the wait for this step of many is over. I had filed the I-130 for my wife a year ago and tomorrow hopefully when I get sworn in and get my Naturalization cert will fax it to immigration to upgrade her file. My question is for those of you guys that have gone thru this already how long should I expect to wait to get the I-130 approved and How long should I expect to wait after I-130 is approved for the interview date?Turkey will be the embassy that we will have to go to and my service center is California.

Again thanks for any help or advice and good luck to everyone.

It took them about a month to upgrade me (I had to call back), and then it was about 6 weeks after that that we got the approval.

You should be able to just look at the timelines, using your upgrade date as your NOA1 date.

Good luck & congrats on becoming a citizen tomorrow :)
