It only took my husband 10-15 minutes. It seems to be the only thing that USCIS has a good process for.

10-15 min
not bad at all
does it include wait time?

i'm asking coz i need to schedule another appt that day
thank u

I had to wait in the car, they would not let me go in - so yeah ... 10 -15 minutes that is how long I waited.

But I am in Oklahoma not Philly ... but everyone I have talked from around the states say it is about the same.

Wait times vary. Busy, you could wait hours. Not busy, you could be in and out. But yeah, its like 10-15 minutes.

listen just be thankful you are not going to the ones in newyork city.. you will be there for hours... so even if it takes 30 min its better there..

My hubby's was about 15-20 minutes, too (in Reading, PA). I like to make the first appointment in the morning to avoid the doctors getting behind. I also like to make the first appointment with my hairdresser while she is still fresh! :curlers: hehe

In new rochelle, NY it took about an 30 min. Once inside the lines moves quickly. Please take note that cell phones and /or cameras are not allowed..not even turned off. (I should have known:blush::rolleyes::o...The appt notice had a note. I had to walk back to the parking garage to leave it in the car.

my family went to charlotte. actual processing time was about 15min. if you were there more than 30 min before your appointment you would have to wait out side. once inside it was ok. for both my wife and my stepson it took about 45 min. the both went different times.

My hubby was in and out in about 15 minutes, but he also had an appointment first thing in the morning when they opened, so there wasn't much of a line when he got there.

Thank u for your replies
I arrived there 50 min before my scheduled time, but no one really cared. All in all, it took about one hour

I was in and out in about 20-25 minutes in Newark, NJ when I did it for my N-400 a couple of weeks ago. They were pretty efficient, actually. I had a 2pm appointment on a friday.
