Hi,

This question might have been asked many times and I saw some timelines in the signature, there are some abbervations used so I could not understand much.

Can some one please take time to write the various milestones/stages and typical times for each stage?

Thanks in advance

XX/XX/2010 PD ---- Priority Date
XX/XX/2010 Check cashed

XX/XX/2010 FP notice recd ---- FP - finger print
XX/XX/2010 FP scheduled

XX/XX/2010 Transferred to local office
XX/XX/2010 IL received ----- Interview letter

Hope it helps.
 
Took 3 months for me from mailing N400 to oath.

But it really depends on the District Office (DO) that would process your case. In 2007 and 2008, I have seen cases that took almost a year. But in 2009 the timelines were typically about 4 months.
