Hi VJers,

Submitted ROC last month, so thought we'd come back and share the experience.

All the best!

Hello Family----

Biometrics app arrived on the 3rd for today, I walk in and did them successfully----- After this, does anyone knows how long does it takes for USCIS approved or the I-751???

Thanks

Really variable - like 3 months to 15 months depending on if you have an interview or not and if there is an RFE. Some people if they are married to a US citizen file for citizenship under the 3 year rule and it forces them to adjudicate on the RoC.

As you are applying with children too , I wanted to ask you did you received extension letter for your kids ? I don't and this makes me worry.

No, i only got one letter, with no mention on it about my children either. I will be travelling back from London in Aug with them after all of our GC's expire so I will be bringing that letter with us and assuming that it covers all of us because it is all one application.

CSC is currently running at an average of 7 months between NOA1 and approval. VSC is at 9 months. So the CSC folks will likely see approvals by the end of the year (assuming no RFE or other delays). VSC will likely be early next year.

Here's a useful link showing average processing time stats:
