Administrative Processing is mandatory for all cases.  However, it varies in length, and no one can predict how long it will last.  It could be hours, days, weeks, months, or even years......AP can not be waived or expedited...........and approval is not guaranteed until the visa is issued.........good luck.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Yes, as others said, totally normal. Everyone does. Can be 2-3 days, 2-3 weeks, 2-3 months, even 1-2+ years. Denials can also happen during AP if something is found. But don't stress, just be patient.

As you've no doubt learned and would continue to adjust to in the coming months and years, immigration requires a lot of patience
