How long between interview and oath

[Tess79 0]

On average, how much time is there between the interview and the oath? What is the longest it could take?

All depends on your local USCIS office. You can look here also.

Mine is not listed....

I'm still waiting mine. Almost 4 months now and I haven't heard anything from them yet..

The officer told me that the oath taking would be around August. I hope I'll received something in the mail soon.

6 weeks for us

Our case wasn't touched today, come to think about it, it wasn't touched yesterday either, really in deep hard thought, it was never touched.

Did anyone ever try to send in an AR-11 to change their present address to their present address to get some attention?

What about walking back and forth in front of your field office carrying a sign asking why the USCIS is so slow? Maybe a TV van will come by and put it on the news, they have nothing else to talk about so just speculate.

Probably this might give better idea since it is the date from USCIS for all of cases.

Remember that this is average, and applied for most of cases, but there may be extreme case because of FBI fingerpint/name-check, missing documents/evidence, and/or USCIS lost-of-tracking things.

A week went by since my wife's interview, no oath letter, online case status hasn't changed since day one. Made comment of that when my wife asked me what came in the mail. Our major curiosity is where are they going to send us? And how much of our precious gasoline that are we going to burn just because they wouldn't let her say that 30 oath at her interview.

Then we had a rather large stack of study materials, how to fill out the forms, forms that we didn't fill out right, ect., asked her if she wanted to keep her study materials, she said I never want to see those again, pitch them. Asked her, are you sure, some tree had to sacrifice it's life for that.

Oh, my favorite bedtime fairy tale story is reading the paperwork reduction act. Fiction like that helps me to escape from the realities of life, so I get a good nights rest with sweet dreams.

Ha, as you pointed out, many posts on this board about progress reports, thought I would join the crowd, strictly a progress report, may I update it next week? But we are not holding our breathes.

One could select a vice president on the basis that if someone tries to kill you, this is what you will end up with as a security means, but I am not making any inference with this comment.

Really not looking forward to the opportunity taken by our Department of State to lose her citizenship certificate and already spent a fortune renewing wife's and daughter's foreign passports. Back in the old days, you were either a citizen or not, most of us here went from some kind of visa, to conditional resident, to permanent resident, then to citizenship, but still a lot more room for even more intermediate stages and a lot more forms and fees, plus long waits. Probably shouldn't mention this as someone from the USCIS may read this and get more ideas.

My senator has to be careful in contacting the USCIS, he has to be nice, feel at times all of these agencies that were created after WW II are remnants from the German Gestapo. Giving us three forms of government, a republic, a democracy, and the agency, the agency having the most power that does not have to abide by the supreme law of the land, the US Constitution. Actually a lot more forms of government if you throw in neighborhood, city, township, county, and state. In certain neighbors, can be fined if you really do something terrible like leaving your overhead garage door opened for greater than the time it takes to move a vehicle in or out.

If my senator tries to flex his muscles with the USCIS, they may deport him on the basis that his great great great great great grandmother was here illegally. Not that they have to prove she was indeed here illegally, really can't, no records back that far, but he has to prove that she was here legally which of course, he cannot do. Goodbye senator.

Seems like I am getting into a civics lesson here, but you won't find these questions on the tests. Originally, agencies were formed in this country at the turn of the last century as strictly in an advisory capacity, intended to help congress with technical and scientific areas most attorneys are not even aware of. Al Gore is a perfect example of a person that is scientifically ignorant. But somehow they became more and more powerful making rules and regulations. Their heads are appointed by the president, and nobody seems to know why, but mostly on the basis of how certain people helped him get elected, not on expertise or anything like that. And there are party affiliations, so if the president is of one party, and members of congress are members of a different party, the agencies give the president indirect control of congress, particularly if they oppose him. His major ally is the IRS, just one short phone call.

So my senator really doesn't have that much power, has to watch his step. Sure the forefathers had George Washington in mind when they made the president chief of the armed services, not some draft dodger that runs and hides at the first sign of danger. On this basis, rather difficult of even a natural born citizen to defend the constitution. And defend? Shouldn't that word be abide? But the oath was written by an agency, rather than the people. Could only say to my wife, least as a US citizen, will have a very tiny voice in our system of government, as a permanent resident, she doesn't have any say at all.
