The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is a federal agency that works through field offices present within and outside the U.S., along with its online resources and phone service.

The field office where you should go for your appointment or interview depends on your location. The USCIS has its own system for organizing its offices: it divides them into Districts and Regions. Some States have many Districts while others only have a few.

Case Processing Times

There is no fixed time for the processing of applications. Also, it might take the federal agency the minimum amount of time or the maximum amount depending on how many cases are in front of you. The format of the processing time can also vary depending on your form type. Here are some processing times in the new format that’s currently being tested:

  • Naturalization application (N-400): 12 to 17.5 months
  • Certificate of Citizenship application (N-600): 6.5 to 14.5 months
  • Citizenship and Issuance of Certificate Under Section 322 application (N-600K): 10 to 22.5 months

In this format, the first figure you see is the duration for processing half of the cases, and the second one is the duration for almost all (93 percent) of the submissions.

Filing Fees

The USCIS website has a calculator that helps you calculate filing fees according to your form type. The tool can calculate both fixed and variable fees.

If your fee is variable, then the software will ask some additional questions to give you the figure. For example, to calculate N-400 filing fees, the software asks you for your age and if you’re a military applicant or not.

The options you have for paying your filing fees will depend on your location and the form you’re filing. If you’re inside the U.S., you may be able to pay online with your card or bank; by mail with a money order, card, or check; or at the field office. Note that filing fees are final and non-refundable.
