Hello everyone, I am utterly confused and frustrated and I hope someone can shed some light that will provide assurance. So my niece's case was approved after initial denial and request for more information. She was told to drop off her passport and then now it says it is in administrative processing. Is this normal even after approval? Sigh. Thanks in advance!

It is completely normal. All cases go through administrative processing.  In addition, approval always comes after administrative processing.  There is no way to estimate how long it will take.  Just watch for the CEAC status to change to "Issued".  That is the only indicator of approval.......

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..
