My wife just passed her interview and was approved by the consular officer.  I read there is an immigrant fee of $200 or so payable to USCIS.  Is this true?  When do I do that?

There’s not a specific time, but the green card processing begins after you pay it.  Preferably before arrival but it doesn’t have to be. The earlier you pay the fee the sooner you get the green card.

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..

You cannot pay the fee before you have the visa in hand.  After that, sooner the better.
