My husband applied for naturalization in end of October , had his finger-printing done. but his application has been in-line( according to uscis track my case) since 26 of November. It has been 70 days now, is it usual? should we call uscis to know how long is it going to take?

Use INFOPASS and ask the Officer nicely.

That is not unusual.

SIL took over a year

[JoeF]

One year is a bit too long, but it can happen if they pull examiners to.work.on other applications, like H1s.

My own natz application, in 2005-2006 (already 8 years, hard to believe, time flies), was Sept 2005 application, day after Thanksgiving 2005 fingerprinting, oath mid-April 2006.

Depends a lot on location. The point being that no one can promise a timeline

Sure, there is no guarantee for a particular timeline.

6 months to a year is a good approximation, though.

if they call you for fingerprinting, does it indicate that the have accepted your naturalization application to become a citizen? or it all depends on interview?

[pontevecchio]

As a general rule Naturalization applications are not denied and the Interview is a formality.

It means that they are processing the application.

The decision if you qualify for naturalization is done after the interview.
