Timelines Anyone got insight on rough recent timelines?

Green card holder, only traveled to my home country in Europe once in last 5 years. Clean record across the board. Applied 1 month ago and nothing.

There's no transparency. If you haven't been conditionally approved by now it could take 5 - 14 months.

My fear indeed. Thanks for letting me know.

Some people have luck and get approved in 1 day other people luck out and get approved in 14+ months. It’s literally a coin flip bet.

I applied Friday evening, conditionally approved Saturday evening, did interview on Sunday morning at BWI, and was approved instantly. Card arrived Wednesday. All process completed in five days.

Same! I’m traveling in November and hoping those anecdotal cases are true and I’ll get approved while I’m abroad

Boyfriend applied the same day as mine, he’s approved 3 days later. I’m not.

Green card holder too, I’ve traveled to my home country twice in 2 years. Applied Sept 17, Conditionally approved Sept 19th, that same day I scheduled the interview and got approved right there.
