After 120 days has elapsed from the day of your N-400 interview you can file suit in federal District court seeking to have a judge review your naturalisation application.

There are many factors as to why your case might be delayed - it could be they are handling a lot of cases in your area, or your case needed additional background checks. I've known people who've applied the same time as me and they are still waiting for their interview letter by the time I had my interview.

If about 60 days has passed and no update on your case, try calling the NSC number and see if they can help you, otherwise schedule an InfoPass, although I'm not sure how much that could help.

The whole process is a painful waiting game, if it helps any, I waited 9 months to get an interview letter. Whereas others who filed after me in same local field office were all done by the end of summer. Every case is different, I know all too well how much it sucks to be left in the dark, waiting without any updates, but I am sure you will hear something soon. The excitement will hit you and then the stress of the interview will creep up on you shortly before the date and then you will be buying hair dye to cover up all the grey hair this process has caused you. Then one day it will all be over and you will never have to worry about dealing with immigration again :)
