Since there is a very limited number of F3 visas allotted each year, the USCIS takes time to process applications thoroughly. Due to the number of applications received each year by USCIS, the processing time ranges from one to ten years.

Current: In the context of the visa bulletin, current means no backlog and no wait time for a green card. A particular priority date becomes current once it reaches the front of the line and a green card is available.

The reasons for these delays are twofold: (1) the COVID19 pandemic impacted the efficiency and productivity of USCIS and all government functions, including mail delivery, and (2) the Trump Administration delayed processing of visa petitions as a way to reduce the number of legal immigrants entering the United States.

INTERVIEW. The citizenship interview usually takes place about 14.5 months, on average, after USCIS receives your naturalization application (sooner or later for some applicants).

Delays are usually caused by additional security and background clearances due to your citizenship, ties to specific countries, or field of study. These additional clearance checks may take several weeks to several months to process. There is no way to circumvent or expedite this process.
