Naturalization Case Processing Time Updated
On April 2, 2008, the USCIS provided an update on the processing of naturalization cases. First, the agency will finish more than one million naturalization cases during fiscal year 2008. Director Gonzales expects to have finished 36 percent more naturalization cases than last year. The expected time it will take to complete naturalization cases is averaging 13-15 months. That’s a three month improvement from the 16-18 month projection that USCIS made six months ago. The USCIS is hiring nearly 3,000 new employees and detailing employees to work in the most heavily affected offices. Asylum Office facilities and staff are also being used to conduct naturalization interviews.
