Between NOA1 and NOA2, it now takes at least 3-4 months. Thereafter case file transfer between USCIS, NVC and local embassy might take 2-4 weeks, sometimes more. Plus minus another month for collection of documents and medical before the interview at last. In short, 5-6 months. 

 

Processing times are case by case basis. Sometimes more, sometimes less. RFE and AP will add on extra time to the processing times. 

For my I-129F, K-1, AOS, EAD, AP and ROC detailed timelines, please refer to my timeline page :)

ROC filed on December 1, 2020, assigned to SRC, approved within 106 days on February 18, 2021.

My sincerest gratitude to all VJers, especially the late geowrian.

Normally they talk about a 3-5 months period, but it can be longer too. Currently the average it's more in the 4-5 months range.

it depends. Mine took i month. The most important thing is to make sure you sent every single document that will prevent them of returning your request.
