That can be a difficult question to answer for sure. I sent my petition to USCIS last October, and I am about 1 month from the end of the process with NVC. After that the case goes to Manila and its probably 3-4 months until the interview and visa is issued. So I'm probably looking at 9-10 months from petition to visa issuance. But depending on many factors, it could be a little shorter, or even somewhat longer. Some people have waited over a year due to FBI name checks or original denials in which they had to reapply.
