I assume you’re including the process to applying for and obtaining the permanent resident status (green card) in this timeline, right?

Since, for spousal immigration and naturalization, the period you must be a permanent legal resident prior to N-400 application is 3 years instead of the standard 5.

But subtracting the green card holder period, your naturalization process only took about a year, then?

Yes, that includes the green card process. After my 3 years were over, it took me 1 month because I applied 3 months before my 3 year period was over from getting the green card, and it took only 4 months to naturalization from application. It took a year to get the green card.
