Default N-400 application from Pensacola, FL

I will be eligible to apply for citizenship later this year and was wondering where the interview and oath ceremony are likely to be and likely processing time with no complications.
Has anyone done this from my vicinity?
Looks like application will go to Texas service center and nearest district office is New Orleans (about 3 hours away). Others are Atlanta (5 hours), Jacksonville (5 hours).
My GC date is January 2014.
I have read of oath ceremonies done in Pensacola.

No, you do not have to travel so far:

Where were you living at the time of your AOS interview, if you had one? If at the same location as you are presently living, then the DO would most likely be the same.

I see there are field offices in Ft. Myers, Orlando and Alabama. Possibly in one of those?

I don't recall an AOS interview as such. We went for biometrics in Birmingham. Have since moved to Florida.

Awesome. That lists our nearest as Montgomery, AL. Interestingly, that is a new office recently opened less than a mile from where our daughter lives.

We are at early stages of the process. Filed N400 online. Located in Boston, MA
Applications submitted: 02/17/2018
Biometrics appointment complete: 03/15/2018
The online status says Sept 2018 for estimated case completion time.
Only time will tell how accurate that is!

Quick update and curious how this compares to others who have recently applied, but we got the interview notification today, for April 24th. So currently it will be 2 months from application to interview. I was expecting it to take much longer for the interview. Perhaps it will stall after that....

Wow that is really quick!

I filed on-line Feb. 27 & biometrics completed March 7th (my date for biometrics was March 19th but I was going to be out of town so I went earlier and they had no problem doing everything that day).
On-line status says December 2018 for estimated completion date.
I am located in Orange County, CA

We filed about a month before IIRC, from the other side of the mountains to you. We have an estimated completion date of September. We're just getting forthnightly emails now saying "We are still reviewing your case and there are no updates at this time." Just have to wait........

My original completion date was December but then I did my biometrics 2 weeks early and it changed to November. When I checked the other day it was back to December.

We have family that want us to travel with them at Christmas, I'm using this as my excuse as to why I can't go with them

Haha, me too! I might get in touch with USCIS to see if they can delay mine a little longer.
