The average of N-400 case is 4-12 months, it based on your local office.

Wish you all the best! 

Thank you! 

And yes, I was saying  a year based on my local office, Portland is trending to 12 months right now.

Me! I know it will take another year to be naturalized, but the sooner I start, the sooner I'll be done with USCIS. 

Hi there, Portland Field Office take on average 8 to 10 months processing N-400 or less. The online tracking does not reflect the true processing timeline.

Anyone knows how long the Chicago office takes on N-400s?

[Pardeepdevgun 4]

Also any ideas on how long the Philadelphia office is taking?

Hey all, mid March 2017 filer here. Sadly my package is just sitting in California. According to their pitiful times it'll probably be July before we're serviced. I have three quick questions to anyone nice enough to help. First, obviously my receipt is my extended proof of conditional residence. Once that is up i need to make an info pass appointment to my local office for a passport stamp, but when is it up? In March of 2018 or in May when it's the one year anniversary of my conditional card date "expiring"? Can i make an appointment before hand to get stamped before that happens? Finally, generally when are we eligible to send in naturalization applications?

 

Thanks to everyone and good luck to us all

Hi, 

First, you can go to your local office to do the extension stamp 2 weeks before your currently extension expiration date, and yes you should take an appointment, use this official link to get an appointment within 14 days before your currently extension expiration date

https://my.uscis.gov/en/appointment/new?appointment[international]=false

But if you have an excuse that prevents you to do that within those 14 days, you could go before, fo example if you have an outside trip before your currently extension expiration date, and you will come back into US after your currently extension expiration date, you could take an appointment within 14 days before your trip date, and bring with a copy of your ticket to proof that "recommended" 

 

You can apply and send your N-400 "Application for Naturalization" 90 days before your third residency anniversary date "if your residency based on marriage of US citizen and 5 years if other"  

Use this official link to calculate your filing opening date: 

https://www.uscis.gov/forms/uscis-early-filing-calculator

Click on the link "CLICK HERE to access the USCIS Early Filing Calculator."

Put your third residency anniversary date "for example 05/**/2018" and you will see when you can apply for your N-400.

 

You can apply for N-400 even if your ROC is still pending.

My cousin naturalized in November after she applied in Feb, but her mom and brother are only scheduled at the end of this month even though they all applied together, so it depends. I'm preparing myself for worst case scenario

Thanks so much, but when does my receipt/ extension letter expire? A year from the date my package was received or the expiry of my temporary green card?

Yeah as you said. Your cousin is lucky though  Are you going to file for naturalization in March? I assume you would be eligible in March. Since, CSC is taking forever and still processing cases from August-2016 I am convinced to file N-400 with pending I-751, Thanks.
