Updated November 12, 2026 · Not legal advice

It depends on your field office, and USCIS publishes the current figure for each one: choose Form N-400 and your field office in the official processing times tool. Your field office is set by where you live, so the time for your own office is the one that matters.

How to find your field office

Your interview notice or Case Status Online shows the office handling the case.
If your case was transferred, use the new office.

The usual N-400 sequence

Receipt, then biometrics (fingerprints and photo).
