NVC Document acceptance- 3 months
Schedule Consular Appointment- 11 months

After interview it took 3 days to receive my visa and one month to receive my permanent resident card (received it last week actually!)

I wish you the best of luck in your process!
Thanks for sharing your experience! Hopefully my wait is only 2 years at most given that I don’t need a waiver.

Hey,

I started off at Grand Rapids Community College and then attended Grand Valley State University in Allendale, MI. I paid for GRCC out of pocket (wasn’t too expensive) and when I transferred to GVSU I was given a DACA grant. Pretty much if you’re a DACA student and your family doesn’t make too much money they give you a few thousand dollars. It was super helpful. Aside from that I always had 1-3 jobs and applied to many scholarships (which I received a handful). At Michigan State University I interviewed and was given a graduate student assistantship in housing. Through this, I work for the university 20 hours a week and received
my own furnished apartment, unlimited meal plan, healthcare insurance, 9 credit tuition remission, and a biweekly stipend (SUPER BLESSED). If you have any questions about these schools let me know and I can try to help you navigate!
