Statistics for N-400

[CanAmCharlotte 0]

I was tooling around on this website and noticed an interesting statistic for N-400 applications. The processing times have been steadily decreasing and now stand at an average of 101 days from the time of NOA receipt to interview. That's amazing! Not so long ago it was about a year for some district offices to process the applications. Not sure what has caused this: better trained USCIS staff or fewer immigrants? After waiting eight months for my CR-1 consular interview and ten months for the ROC, 3-4 months seems lightening fast! I'm so excited.

Wasn't bad last year either, 107 days from the day we sent in the application to the day my wife had her interview. But thanks to her IO misplacing her application, the oath ceremony took another 48 days until she got her certificate. Worse yet when field offices wait until they have about 5,000 approved applicants before having an oath ceremony.

But far better than the 458 days we had to wait between sending in the I-751 and receiving the ten year card, finally. Wife's friend got an RFE for a requested join utility bill her IO demanded. Sounds crazy, but she sent it in immediately after her USC interview, she passed all the tests, with that joint ownership and tax stuff. But that added over 16 months to her wait.

Our AOS back in 2003 took 230 days after sending in tons of forms and evidence, only to learn it was only good for two years, what a shock that was to me. Then to go through all that again, and again, but only with one form his time, still tons of the same evidence with updates.
