It's all over the place.....I have seen cases approved anywhere from a few weeks to 44 months. (My wife's case was 44 months- NO RFEs). Filing for citizenship has bumped some (like ours).

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..

Anyone has an idea on current processing time?

Going on two years now, still waiting.

It depends on two factors:

- When you filed

- Where I-751 is pending

 

You can see processing times here:

My case started with estimated 7 months, then jumped to over 14. It got adjudicated in 20 months.

May 2022 here. Got the 48mo extension letter earlier this year (2023).

 

On a side note, we've traveled internationally a few times with the extension letter. We were never refused boarding or had any problems with with CBP. Although we did get held up a few times when checking in to our flights because the airline had an old version of the I-797 as reference.

Sept. 21. Case at SRC. Finally broke down and sent N-400 today. Wife isn't amped about becoming a citizen but you do what you have to do to move things along. At least with the US passport we can more easily visit some of the countries on our wish list.

Quite....

Not a competition I really want to win, or frankly even entered into...but yes, it is somewhat ridiculous at almost 9 years at this point. Admittedly that is three filings, but that just adds to the sheer ridiculousness of the situation. 

 

 

 

To the OP, get yourself a cup of tea and a good book. You are going to be waiting a while - there is a reason they are currently issuing four year extension letters.
