Detroit Naturalization Processing Times
Just applied for citizenship in the last couple of weeks. Got my biometrics notice for next week. The letter gave an estimate of 12 months to process. Just wondering if that’s realistic or if it might be quicker considering the bio stuff was scheduled so quickly. Any thoughts to the accuracy of the estimated times?

Re: Detroit Naturalization Processing Times
It is usually standard to receive the biometric appointment quickly. It has no bearing on the actual timeline for your naturalization. Is there a reason why you would like it quicker or are you just curious or impatient

Re: Detroit Naturalization Processing Times
Certainly some offices have been processing them very rapidly (3.5 months in our case; estimations varied but something like 8-12 months), while neighbouring offices are still on 12 months or more. I don't recall any recent first hand experience posted about Detroit though - so please keep us updated!
