I submitted all the documents for my AOS from F-1 through marriage, and now the case is set to: ready to schedule an interview. How long is the average wait time to receive an interview date, and then to receive a temporary green card?

You can check my spoiler for my timeline. However, my case was not the norm as I received my GC in just 3 months. Hopefully you have similar luck! :)

Thank you for sharing! It's interesting, I see it takes some people WAY longer than 3 months. My wife was previously married, and she also got it in 3 months... For some people it takes 7-8 months right?

Mine also took three months. I applied in April and got Approved in Mid-July! I do know of people who applied at the same time as me and are still waiting to be scheduled for an Interview. It depends on what field office you are applying to, and how backed up they are with processing applications.

I think the average on here right now is around 6-7 months for the green card, however there is HUGE variation depending on your local office (and of course, on luck and randomness). You can check processing timelines sorted by local office on here, but for some offices (like mine), there are only a few old data points so you won't learn much. You can also check published processing times for all the USCIS offices online, but they are not updated very often and I'm not sure how accurate they are.

Thank you both for sharing your experiences... It's fascinating (and a tiny little bit frustrating...) to have such a large gap, so unpredictable!

I filed my case in Queens NY, and the office were I did my BIO was in Long Island City. Not sure if the local office reviewing my case is in NYC or in Queens, or else, but I'll try to check on their website to see if they have average processing time! Thanks again!
