I have been looking at a lot of posters naturalization timeline and some of their timelines are just over 3 months while others span the 5 months or more. What maybe some of the factors that contribute to these shorter naturalization timelines? Just curious. Any answers to this question would be appreciated.

My Husband's naturalization timeline:
08/25/10: My Husband finally posts his naturalization application
09/01/10: Text message & e-mail notification acknowledging receipt of application. Forwarded to NBC
09/04/10: I-797 Received in the mail. Priority Date: August 30th 2010
02/02/11: Naturalization Interview (Postponed due to weather and probably backlogged)
03/11/11: Naturalization Interview..........PASSED!!!!!!!!
04/20/11: Oath Ceremony

02/04/11: Civil Marriage Ceremony in New York

Depends on local office: Speed for FP and interview varies. Also, some local office does same day oath, some accumulate applicants and do oath in bulk.

I've found that holidays would delay few days to little bit over a week. Mine was delayed by Memorial Day and Independence Day, depends on my luck, may get delay by Labor Day as well.

N-400

5/29/2010 - USPS Express Mail Out N-400

6/2/2010 - Priority date

6/9/2010 - Check cashed

6/11/2010 - NOA in my mail box

6/17/2010 - Able to see case status "Initial Review"

6/18/2010 - LUD

7/2/2010 - Called mis-information line to put in a service request for STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED "FP NOTICE"

7/8/2010 - LUD, at 2:32am, received text msg and e-mail for req. for add'l evidence being mailed out on July 6th, believe it's for the FP

7/12/2010 - Received FP notice in mail, scheduled for 8/2/2010

7/15/2010 - Walk in FP

7/22/2010 - Online status changed to "Case sent to local office for interview schedule"

7/27/2010 - Received interview letter for 8/23/2010

8/23/2010 - Passed interview, was informed that next oath date is 9/22/2010 and oath letter will come in the mail

Correct! I voted for jasminelily's answer.

Basically

1. the number of applicants that the local office goes through

2. the frequency of oath ceremonies
