Can anyone estimate what would be considered longer than normal processing time from receipt of the N-400 up to getting letter of interview date.  They received our application March 7, 2017, and got notication of In Line for Interview on April 17, 2017. My field office is Seattle. Am I still within the normal processing time for our application.  Thank you for any information.

Well, I applied in January 2016...I got my citizenship interview in June....2017. Now I'm waiting for the ceremony. Hopefully not another 15 months.

I called them over and over and over again. And my case was very straightforward.

Did you mean January of 2017?? Or it took you over one year and 7 months???

According to the USCIS website:
Field Office Processing Dates for Seattle WA as of: May 31, 2017: N-400    Application for Naturalization  processing cases dated October 17, 2016 (so 7 months after they filed)

 

So if you phone them, they're going to tell you 1. yes you're within the normal processing times, and 2. you probably have another couple of months wait before they would assist with helping you escalate things.

As everyone said it depends on where you live but not a very quick process.  I just had my oath ceremony last week after applying in July 2016.  I'm suspecting that my case took longer than usual because of ELIS system/IOE number fiasco last year.   I'm suspecting it was due to the IOE fiasco).  Good luck and 気を長く持って！
