How long does the entire process from start to entry into the USA typically take? 

Indefinitely until they restart routine visa services 

YMMV

Depends on the consulate.  USCIS pre covid was 3 to 4 months, NVC was 2 to 3 months.  That's where the predictability ends.  If you were interviewing in London,  maybe 2 to 3 months more.  If interviewing in Mexico,  add 9 to 12 months.

YMMV

In Morocco 9-12 months

 

Nigeria 12 to 18 months.

 

See where we are going with this. What you're asking can't be predicated with any certainty. So when it gets done that's when it will be done.

 

Can I share somethings with you that I learned long ago about this process?


    • "the man with the gold makes the rules"
    • it will take as long as it will take 
    • no one with any certainty can tell you when some process will be completed
    • Your sense of urgency will never be equaled to what USCIS, NVC or your embassy demonstrates
    • Your journey is not going to mirror someone else's experience - yours and theirs are not the same
    • They only promised you a YES or NO answer. Never an exact time that their decision would be completed
    • Lowering your expectations will make you a much more relaxed individual


Good luck on your journey

Thank you its all just a waiting game but I will try lower my expectations and just trust the process however frustrating that might be and will just pray and have faith that God's timing is good. This forum and vj has been extremely helpful in all this to know I'm not the only one pudging through this.
