Average Time between Citizenship Interview and Ceromony.. Philadelphia
I know this is a long shot, but does anyone know of either the average wait time between the Citizenship interview and the Ceromony in Philly or a resources thats available online showing the current wait time after sucsessful interview. The interview's on May 12th and am wondering if there is ANY chance the ceromony coul be around May 25th.... which would just the icing on the cake as it's my birthday and I couldn't think of a better way for this LONG journey to be finally over (a month shy of 3 years for the Citizenship app 
)

Re: Average Time between Citizenship Interview and Ceromony.. Philadelphia
Thanks Jersey.
I had the interview (for the one that was based on marriage to the ex) November last year and they rejected the app saying I'd have to reapply under the 5 yr rule (why he couldn't just cross out the 3 yr box and check the 5 yr box I have no clue lol). He also said that I could appeal and would have a good case but the appeal is only slightly cheaper than the new app and would take longer. Hardly seemed worth the fight!
Within 3 hrs of getting home, the new app had been filled out, paperwork collected and it was in the mail
Roll on May 12th I can't wait!!!!!

)Different offices have varied average times ranging from a few weeks to months. Look around the web for N400 timelines localized in your area for estimates.
