On average, it now takes 10 months for a legal resident to become a citizen, up from about five months in 2014. In the city of Los Angeles, the processing time for an Application for Naturalization (N-400) form is currently estimated to be 9.5 to 15.5 months. Wait times are similar across other service centers throughout California.

L.A. County to Proactively Dismiss/Reduce Marijuana Convictions
|
|
|
California voters passed Prop 64, the California Marijuana Legalization Initiative in 2016. Los Angeles County officials expected that tens of thousands of people with criminal records would take the steps necessary to remove or reduce marijuana convictions. Instead, the process to expunge those records was too large a hassle for most people. Now, L.A. County prosecutors are seeking to automate the process, reducing or dismissing marijuana convictions on behalf of 54,000 people.
