I know that whichever district you live in will be shorter/longer, depending on the sub-office and what not, but whats an *overall average*???

Like anyone on here who already is a citizen, how long did it exactly take from start to finish???

thanks

Mine was almost exactly 9 months - but I had an RFE at my interview, so that added about a month to six weeks.

Also depends on your case as well. I started mine in late Oct. Sent in the N-400 then, and was sworn in as a citizen in Late Feb. So mine was only 4 months. Mine too was through Colorado which seems faster then most places.

From what I've been hearing the average is about 6 months or so...
