current average wait

Form N-400 is the application for U.S. citizenship through naturalization, typically filed after 3–5 years as a green-card holder. Cases are interviewed at local field offices, so wait times vary significantly by city — pick your office above to see its backlog.
When might my case be decided?
A queue model, not a promise: cases pending when you filed ≈ your place in line; recent completion rates clear the line ahead of you.
Every case is different — interviews, requests for evidence, and background checks reorder the queue, and USCIS does not process strictly first-in-first-out. Treat this as a rough range alongside the official average, not a prediction for your case. Not legal advice.
