N-400 (Under 3 year rule married to us citizen)

[LirikVJUser 28]

I just applied for citizenship under 3-year rule married to a us citizen and have a few questions:

1. Under the estimation box(where it estimates how many months until decision) in the uscis account it says: *These completion projections are based on case processing for applicants who have been lawful permanent residents for at least 5 years. For all other applicants, completion projections may vary.
   Why does it say 5 years even though I filed for 3? Does it say for you as well?
2. Are married based n-400 slower than 5 year one?

1. because only through marriage u can apply naturalization in 3 years. dont worry about it

2. no. i filed for my friend online in february 2022, she is a citizen by may 2022 ( 3 years marriage)

the different is u have to submit more evidence for 3 years compare to 5 years

No they are the same and processed by the date recieved (so they say). If your not married to USC You wait 5 years to apply. Married to USC you wait 3 years to apply. They go into the same Pile and processed.
