How Accurate Online is the Status Update?

[Mr Genuis 91]

Hello all,

 

I am seeking to fine out how accurate the Status updat is when you check on your online  account. Mine says "estimated time 3 Months". This has been changing from 10 months to 3 months.

Not definitive at all. It is just a general frame of referance. An actual event will over ride this projection if there is one sooner.

While its not accurate, it does show that the overall processing time has been reduced, just cant attach a real number here. 

 

If you average the data, it seems like 6-9 months is the wait time from application to interview. Some lucky people have even gotten their time frame down to 2 months. 

 

n400s used to take more than a year some months ago.

Not accurate, it took our case a year to get an interview but USCIS predicted around 7 months until the case was complete at the time of the interview.

Not necessarily true for all centers. Ours (Minneapolis/St Paul) has been climbing up for the past 6 or so months.
