Usually it's 10 days if you select to have it mailed out to you. If you decide to have it picked up.. it's usually available on a monday.. they're usually issued on the weekend.

In my case it took 2 months as there was a 221g but they needed more info.. a certificate of being single.. which didn't make sense since we were both never married but apparently you need to go to the amphur for that. I sent that in and it alone delayed me 2 months so pray you have all the paperwork needed right away.

Yeah, i think steve n sang's case set some speed records, good to see things are still going well! we will aply for 10 year grean card in about 8 months.

We were definitly lucky at the K-1 stage, 125 days from NOA-1 AND we cancelled the interview and had it 2 weeks later. AOS was a different story, a little over 14 months to get 2yr. green card. Things are going well, thank you, although Songsang doesn't particularly like Chicago,I have been lucky and been able to spend 3 months a year in Thailand the past 3 years, is looking good for this coming January and February, i am a little concerned that she is basically staying in Chicago 6 months and Thailand 6 months as far as the 10yr. interview goes. Happy that things are well for you both also....
