I applied for my wife and 2 child 10 FEB 2011. All 3 forms have been approved by USCIS and sent to the NVC on 18 MAY 2011. The NVC processed the forms received from USCIS on 02 JUNE 2011 and I received email notification to pay and submit the AOS as well the DS-3032 online/email on 03 JUNE 2011. Received and paid IV bill on 20 JUNE 2011, waiting to payment to cleared to receive IV mailing instruction and barcode. 06 JULY 2011 sent IV application with original require documents to the NVC. Received notice of inteview date on 08 AUG 2011 for 09 SEP 2011. Interview when fine, but I was missing $15 USD (payeable at Banco Popular) processing fee require at the SDO Consulate. Due to the fee the Visa arrival was delay 2 days arriving on 15 SEP 2001. My US entry was on 16 SEP 2011 thru JFK-New York. The entry took 15 minutes to process 3 immigrant visas at CBP entry counter (CR1 must go to the visitor visa counter) and then out the terminal. |

(02 JAN 2016) At the moment my wife and 2 daughter have been eligible to apply for citizenship since September 2013, but we have hold up on doing it since it is quite pricy and not needed/crucial for them while still residing in the U.S. for now.
(17 JAN 2017) We filed the N-400 on the 22 DEC 2016 the day before the new increase processing fee were coming in effect. On 17 JAN 2017 we received the NOA that the application was received on 29 DEC 2016. Also, today I check the status of my application online that a letter was mailed 17 JAN 2017 (that I have not receive yet in the mail) scheduling the biometrics appointment.
( 22 JAN 2017 ) Received the The Biometric appointment notification schedule for 30 JAN 2017. ( 17 JAN 2018 ) In May 2017 called to delay and reschedule the Citizenship interview due to 2 month trip overseas. On 26 SEP 2017 received a call to schedule the Citizenship interview. Interview schedule for 13 OCT 2017 and N-400 APPORVED, with Oath ceremony on 27 OCT 2017. |

| Embassy Review : |
Completed successfully the Consular interview process. Visa was approved for my wife and our 2 daughters. They asked me tons of question to such extent that cover very intimate personal to stupid dumb. It was a long day and with a few hiccups, but easy to solve such as, unknown fees that are internal fees, but not only that you cannot pay for it there you have to pay it at the bank and tell them what it is for, so they can deposit it into an specific account and then come back the next day (waste another day "can't be done the same day") and show them the paid receipt. |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
