Applying for citizenship

After reading the K Visa FAQ pages I would just like to confirm some
info regarding apllying for citizenship.

When it says I can apply 3 years after AOS, is this the date
corresponding to 'resident since' on my perm res card?

What are the likely waiting times after applying to actually receiving
citizenship?

Thanks

1. Yes, unless CIS made a mistake on your card. It's three years of
permanent resident status (conditional resident status counts too).
Note, you can apply 90 days before the three year period is completed.

2. Depends in part where you are. Check the USCIS website for current
processing times for Form N-400.

Cheers for the reply.
I am trying to find processing time information for the California
Service Center but the websites I find are pretty outdated. Can anyone
direct me to a current site?

Available at the USCIS website, http://www.uscis.gov. Click on "Case
Status and Processing Times" below the yellow oval. These are the
official times.
