How Long Will a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Take After Filing?

I'm getting legal aid to file bankruptcy and I was wondering how long it will take for the whole thing to be finalized after everything is submitted … it will be Chapter 7 because I'm not working (I'm a full-time student) and I have no assets.

I filed Chapter 7 last year in Albuquerque and it took about three months. It depends on how busy the court you filed is.
