Folks,
According to a recent USCIS press release at www.uscis.gov:
During FY09, USCIS’ goal is to achieve a 20 percent reduction in processing times for the majority of key petitions and applications, in spite of having to work through an unexpected surge of applications received during FY07. The agency plans a five-month processing time for naturalization applications (N-400s) and a four-month processing time for both adjustment of status applications (I-485s) and petitions for alien workers
(I-140s).
I was expecting such an announcement after the election. Their focus has been primarily on naturalization cases before the election due to political pressure on them so that new citizens could vote.
Let's hope they will be able to keep up with their promise.
