Answer 2

Yeah

it depends on where you live.  My mom started this whole thing 6 months ago and just last week she had the ceremony.  In total there were more than 800 people there.  So just make sure to pass the test the first time or else it will take longer.

Funny thing is that more than 400 of them were from Mexico.  

Viva mis Mexicanos!

Answer 3

It depends in which city do you live. Some cities take more time than other because of the # of requests.

For example, Los Angeles is one of the most slow cities to process because of the high demand of applications. As I know, it takes approx. 18 months to get the final appoiment.
