Not even close. Heck, _permanent residency_ applications take longer than that. If your PERM gets audited, that step alone can eat more than one year. Even without that, 14.5 years for _residency_ would be shockingly fast. Some countries (like India) have a 100 year backlog, give or take a few decades.
After you get permanent residency, add 5 more years. 3 years if married to a USC.
There's NO WAY that any form of citizenship takes 14.5 months.
