• If USCIS determines that additional information is needed, you may receive a Request for Evidence.
• Once all of USCIS’s questions have been answered and the application is done being processed at the service center, you will be scheduled for an interview at your local USCIS office to review your application and answer questions as needed.

Depending on how close the relationship is to the Petitioner, and what country the beneficiary is from, that may be no wait (for parents, unmarried minor children, and spouses of a U.S. citizen) or it may mean a wait of 2 years or even 20 years.
