I would not purchase plane tickets until the visa is in hand....period....unless the tickets are refundable.  Too many delays can happen....

such as administrative processing, delivery delays, or mistakes on the visa.........

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Agreed. Do NOT purchase any tickets until the visa is in his hands and all information on it is accurate. There have been occasions where the immigrant received the visa and the info on it is wrong, resulting in them having to send the passport and visa back to be fixed. We know you are anxious but nothing is going to hurt if you wait just a little bit longer.

 

To answer your question it usually takes about a week.
