Even now, marriage-based green card applications are quick and easy. Because almost always they end in an interview at a local USCIS field office, the timing depends in part on the volume and efficiency of that local office but we are seeing most marriage-based green card applications approved within 6 months, regardless of the location. Requests for additional evidence in the marriage-based green card context are rare and when they happen are usually easy to address.
That 6 months is considered “quick and easy” says a lot.
Mind you, this is for obtaining citizenship. Citizenship is a very big deal as it's permanent unless you do something outrageous
This is not for citizenship, but for the permanent residency ("green card"). And yes, 6 months is a dream for most applicants.
I had to wait 2 years for my uncomplicated GC case.
If you compare that to other countries it’s fast and easy.
