Were beginning to look at the final chapter. One question, how long does it typically take from first filing to interview?

I think he means citizenship. Ours took 5 1/2 months but that will vary from regional service centers.

I just hope they don't plan on jacking up the prices again in the next 4 years or so.

Been there and done that over 4 years ago with a time line a hell of a lot longer than today. I am looking onto Jen's transition to USC.

[Feathers268]

So it looks lk anywhere from 5 to 11 months should be typical. Thanks, I'll get Jen studiing and see how it goes.

It depends on how fast the service center is that processes your petition and the district field office where your interview will be held. The USCIS office in Sacramento is processing cases from Jan 31 09 according to the USCIS web site. My guess is it will be a little faster than that since they tend to base processing times on the slowest cases.

 

When she goes for her biometrics they will give her a study guide. They used to give an audio CD but I don't think they do anymore.

Take a look at our time line.

Depends on your field office, I have seen times as short as two months to longer than a year.

I might also add make sure her conversational skills are good. I am of the opinion that the interview starts the second the name is called. The interviewer will make small talk about the weather, family, clothing or anything else to determine their proficiently in English.
