Just curious —for processing times on USCIS for each service center, are those estimates for the entire petition process (NOA1 to interview) or ONLY for USCIS portion at said service center (i.e. only NOA1 up to petition approval, and then tack on additional time for transfer to NVC and interview approval)? I have a feeling it’s the latter, but hoping it’s the former!

it is the time just for the 1st stage 

 

and is an average time only 

can be faster or several months longer

 

some of the things it depends on::

service center case load

how many agents are on duty (timeframe from thanksgiving thru new year's is the longest as there are so many holiday days  off for federal employees)

the petition and # of documents itself 

and the agent who reviews the packet

It's the latter.  USCIS has no part of the spousal visa process after the I-130 is approved.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..
