I think I'm ready! filled the form in and just need to get the photos done. I have been putting this off for so long. I have been concerned that timelines would conflict with travel plans.

I am due to be away doing training in California for 2 weeks at the end of July, does this sound like a safe bet along with current processing times?

Thought I should mention - hubby received his US passport on Friday. It only took about a week and a half after he applied so they're really moving fast right now.

Oh yes it sounds about the right time frame with a bit of luck you will be done and dusted by then

16/20 wks looks about the norm from start to finish, so june-ish you should be done if there's no hipcups on your application.

Maybe even earlier. I applied in March last year and my oath ceremony was July 6th.

Different offices will have different times, but Chicago seemed pretty typical compared to others who applied at the same time as me.

Yes - once you have your biometrics letter and a scheduled appointment, many places will do biometrics for you as a walk-in ahead of your scheduled appointment.

PG - this is what he's on about!
