Typically it would be about 6 months, with weekly meetings, but will vary from parish to parish, so check with the local parish priest
Adults IN the RCIA program are limited. If they are not baptized yet, they will be just prior to being Confirmed as part of the RCIA process. Otherwise, the Sacraments, such as the Eucharist, are done after completing RCIA.Roman Catholic AnswerAdults in the RCIA program, if they are already baptized before starting the program, only receive the Sacrament of Penance(Confession) during the program. At the end of it they receive baptism, if they are not already baptized, confirmed, if they had not been confirmed in the Catholic Church previously, and then given Holy Communion.
RCIA - the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
That is called the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, or RCIA for short
there are actually four steps and they are: evangilization, catechumenate, purification and enlightenment and mystagogy.
I believe it takes about two years.
Well I am Catholic, and in my religion I did not choose my own godparents if that is what you mean, as most people are baptized shortly after birth. As for the RCIA program, I honestly do not have a definitive answer. I have attended church services in which RCIA graduates were welcomed into the faith and they had no mention of godparents.

You contact your local Catholic parish and enroll in the RCIA program. After sufficient study, you will be accepted into the church at a special ceremony.
.Catholic AnswerYes, of course you may join the RCIA. It usually starts, in most parishes in August and runs until the following Easter - approximately nine months. You need to speak with a priest, either call the office of your local Catholic Church or speak with the priest after Mass and tell him that you are interesting in joining the RCIA program.
The easiest way is for the Muslim man to talk to the priest and ask about joining the RCIA program. The priest can explain the particulars.
I see no problem with that. Something that has been done and can not be undone can not be an obstacle to be received into the Church. Talk to a priest about it or join the RCIA-program in your local church.
Yes, but you would need to enter the church through the RCIA program, receive the sacrament of baptism, confirmation, and eucharist.
