oath question please answer

[ShallowShrek 0]

hi everyone. i have mentioned before in other posts that at my interview the officer told me she approved me & would recommend me to the supervisor. but when i called yesterday they said on the phone that decision is not made yet. how long do they carry that on for? my reason for calling them is simple..someone who had the same interview with me has gotten oath date already. i know their case was simple as heck but what about the decision how long do they take..please dont scare me.

They usually just send you the letter for your oath ceremony and that's how you find out. If you already know the date of the next oath ceremony taking place in your city and you're close to that date then maybe you can call them again.

When was your interview, the date, same thing happened to my wife, it was her interviewer that stacked her papers away and learned she was suppose to get her oath appointment that day. I got teed off and called my senators office, wife got her oath letter e-mailed to me just a couple of hours later. I did call our field office, that was worthless, as you are suppose to contact the interviewer that handled your case.

If nothing happens in 120 days, you can take them to court, but that is a lot of extra trouble.

81 different field offices, 81 different procedures, and for any given field offices, even more different procedures depending on your IO. To the best of my knowledge, that final approval is done at the field office by the manager. But can only question if that person is checking the validity of your application, or the validity of your interviewing officer.

Your only contact given is your interviewing office, with no means given to contact that officer, might as well sent a letter to the moon for expecting a response. Wife was also told in less than two weeks, that was a promise, verbal, but nevertheless a promise, when five weeks went by with nothing, got my senator's office on her, that got quick action. That promise was broken.

I was also told by the interviewer that she will recommend me to the supervisor (during interview). I was supposed to be receiving the oath letter in a 2-4 week timeframe after the interview date. In some cases it may take upto six weeks to get the oath scheduled. This is the fifth week and going into sixth week but no oath letter yet.

I think they suddenly slowed down this process for no real reason (or may be a real political reason). There are rumors that the new citizens tend to vote for democrats more, and to keep them from becoming new voters, the oath processes is kind of held back. I am not sure how much validity to this but it sounds very unethical if true. Waiting to the nth degree of your patience is something we all learned during the visa process so this will be the end of getting victimized by this bureaucracy.
