More details to this question:
I applied for naturalization in January 2015. My green card expired in February 2015. I was scheduled for in interview for May 2015 and I passed my interview. It's been months and I have not heard back to see if there is an issue with my approval. My family applied with me and got their interviews after mine but they were approved and had their naturalization ceremony within a month of their interview. Is it normal for me to wait this long after my interview? Is there anything I can do to check on what is taking so long. I've been following my case on the USCIS website and no there are no updates since my interview was scheduled.

It is difficult to know the reason for which your case is being held up. I suggest that if you have only been following your case on the U.S.C.I.S. website, you should schedule an infopass with the field office to see what is happening with your case. I note that under the rules, a naturalization applicant should file for replacement green card unless the green card will be valid for six months past the date of filing the naturalization application. However, enforcement of this rule varies from immigration office to immigration office.
