Good Evening All

I would like to have an Idea about the naturalization process timeline after you filing your N-400 Application , am currently a PR of Miami-FL , i know the states of more immigrants the processing time will be longer , any advice for states out of personal experience that have shorter time of process , yes i know i have to be a resident of that state 3 months before applying.

still will be applying for my naturalization med of next year but i just want to have an idea and if so move to another state.

Thanks a lot.

so you will move everything, your life your job your house so you can be in a state of less immigrants?

all I know is that California, Texas and New York have enormous amounts of immigrants, yet they all process with 1 to 2 months dif from other states... the national's average is about 6 to 8 months

Well I don't own a house and am flexible as I can work from anywhere , all I need is my desktop and internet ;)

I love it here in Miami but was just checking if there is a really big difference of the processing time so I can plan and decide ahead.

Thanks khayyyyi ;)

I'm in Maryland, my naturalization process took about 5 months.

But you can't always tell how long your case is going to take. I know some people in Maryland who went through the process in less than 4 months, but I also know some who applied before I did, and they are still waiting (that makes it more than 6 months for them).
