Naturalization Processing Times at End of Fiscal Year 2008
USCIS has released the processing times for naturalization applications as of September 30, 2008. It is worth noting that some offices are noting significant improvement (2 months or more) in comparison to the processing times from few months ago. This is due to the increased efforts by the FBI to clear security checks faster.
