Us Citizenship Application Timeline

Summary

US citizenship application processing typically takes 6 to 14 months after submitting the N-400 form. There is no expedited process for the N-400, except in emergencies like severe financial loss or humanitarian reasons. If you lose your green card, you can still apply for citizenship by submitting Form I-90 to replace it. You must wait for your green card to be issued before obtaining a U.S. Passport. If your Certificate of Naturalization is delayed, contact USCIS or file Form N-565 for a replacement.

My form is already pending so I could get my passport while the form is still pending or do I have to wait for my green card
