Does anyone know how long it takes to get the oath ceremony after the interview? I had my interview around February 15th, 2014, and my status says I've been placed in line for scheduling an oath ceremony in mid-February, but it has been a month and no status updates. Does anyone have any experience with the Boston field office? I have plans to travel in late May and I have to decide this week whether to go ahead with those plans, but I feel uncomfortable booking tickets when I am not completely sure I will get my passport in time.

What did they tell you at your interview? Are you doing a name change? A month seems a bit long in any case. I think I would call USCIS, and try to find out what is going on. The oath letter may have been mailed, and it was lost in the mail. I have read other stories here on VJ where the applicant missed their appointment.

According to USCIS, the Boston field office is backed up. I would make an infopass appointment to follow up if you need to travel in May.

My old passport expired and I'd rather not reapply for a passport when I'm renouncing my former country's citizenship immediately after. Applying for travel visa is also annoying. Will they be able to tell me anything other than my current online status during the infopass? Or maybe even speed it up?
