Naturalization Application Wait Time

Thinking about becoming a US citizen? The wait time can vary, but here's what affects it:

It Depends:

  • USCIS Workload: High application volume may lead to longer processing times.

  • Biometrics Appointment: Scheduling this appointment can impact the overall processing time.

  • Background Checks: These checks can take time to complete.

  • Interview (Maybe): If required, the interview and any following steps can add to the wait time.

  • Your Situation: Legal issues, extra evidence requests, or delays can affect processing times.

Stay Informed:

  • USCIS Website: Check processing time estimates based on your application location and submission date.

  • Case Status Online Tool: Track your application progress and receive updates.


Remember: Processing times are estimates and can change. Regularly check the USCIS website or contact them directly for the latest information. The online tool can also help you track your application's progress.
