N400 Processing Los Angeles (425 days?)

04-01-2004, 02:41 AM

Hello All,

I just got the notice of action from the California Center (Laguna Niguel).
It stated my priority date (March 15, 2004).

The notice said the date and place of my interview will be scheduled by the
local INS office, and it should be within 425 days (about 17 months).

I pressume the "425" is typical? I went to the webpage and checked the waiting
periods at the LA office. Based on my web page interviews are scheduled about
6 months after the priority date.

Any people who went through the N-400 process in LA? Care to share your
experiences?

Thanks.
Johanes

Typically for this type of number, it has virtually no relation to reality.
It is a figure apparently made up from whole cloth.

I have heard that for oath ceremonies occurring right now in Los Angeles,
the processing time from filing N-400 to swearing-in is about 9 months.
