USCIS reduces processing delays
USCIS has announced that average processing times for naturalization applications are now 10-12 months. This is a reduction of about six months from this time last year when application backlogs peaked as USCIS dramatically increased fees for application processing. However, the average processing still falls well short of the 6 month goal. Many offices now have predicted processing times of under 6 months. Only 3 – Charlotte, Hartford and New Orleans – report times over 14 months.
