N-400 interview - 3 years v. 5 years rule

[Deleting 0]

Hello everyone. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience or opinion about who gets interview appointments earlier. As far as I see the timelines, the marriage-based applicants getting interview appointments average 2-4 months after applying. The 5 years based applicants is 7-9 months. Is there some rule about that? Thanks.

All timelines are currently 1.5 years. Not sure where you're getting your data from.

 

Everyone enters the queue and waits their turn to reach the front. You cannot jump.

@Timona look at the timelines. Maybe I misunderstand it? Anyhow, thanks for the answer.

4 months was mostly pre-covid...the ones in  2022 are rare cases. 

 

Current timeline as mentioned by a lot of VJers is 1.5 years...Why don't you visit N400 timelines thread eg July 2020 N400 or any other..

Misunderstood original question

Well…. It took 3 months to a friend to get an appointment after filing, based on marriage. So I can say that employee based applicants need to wait longer.
