How long to wait for green card interview?

After submitting the DS-2001 (Notification of Applicant Readiness) to the AIT, how long have you guys had to wait to receive the invitation to come in for the interview?

It’s already been 2 weeks for us…

Wow, did you expect VIP treatment or are you in a rush? It can take months to formalize residency for a spouse.

Apart from proving you have a bone fide ongoing relationship, completing medicals and other documentation, it could take some time for your spouse’s visa to be issued. Don’t make any plans about going back the the USA real soon, unless you plan going alone first.

Processing times can be 3 - 6 months, sometimes less sometimes more.

Actually, I just expected what the tall American guy at the AIT told me: we should be able to receive the provisional green card by mid-April (and we started the process late-Feb).

YMMV. We submitted packet 3 in mid-May 2005. 3 weeks later we received packet 4, with the interview scheduled for early July. Perhaps they are busier in the summer.
