there is no average time. We just were granted our visa yesterday and we sent our app March 24 of this year. It all depends on the case, the file, the officer.
My husband has officially been granted permanent resident through the Havana, Cuba VO today! We are March 24, 2017 applicants :) to all those still waiting, the best of luck... heres to the beginning of our forever <3
I am also under the new kit. So my other friends waiting under the new process did not do their medicals. For us, he had booked his medical a month in advance and was allowed to do it because he just sneaked in before the February 1st change.
