hi, everyone.

thank you for your help.

Can anyone give me some information on how to contact a senator? I had my citizenchip interview on Oct 14 and I'm still waiting for the oath letter,when I called this number 1800 375 5283 my file in the interview process, and I must wait 90 days to check again when i told her that i already had my interview.

I need to travel outside USA now, is it safe ?

thanks

Wow, you have it worse than me. I had my interview on October 15th and my Oath is coming up next week - 2 months after the interview. Don't waste your time calling the USCIS disinformation line - they will just read you your online status that never changes after "your case has been sent to local office for stadard interview" and if you get through to an actual human being (not the talking parrot that can read off the website - what a crappy job, by the way) aka 2nd level IO, he/she will tell you that you need to allow 120 days after the interview to inquire about the oath. Infopass will be just as useless.

It's all bullshit. While 120 days wait is what law actually says, the reality now is much faster. So if you had no issues on the intreview and were recommended for approval and have been waiting for that long, chances are your case is misplaced.

The only way to push it through is to write to your Senator. Be polite, but show that you are pissed off. Even if Senator simply inquires about your case, they cannot give them same bullshit response they would give you - they will have to find it and give him an actual status. It might be all it takes to get an Oath date scheduled. When our Senator did that, he came back to us within a week with an Oath date. The letter itself came in another week .

Good luck!

Well travel is not really a big problem. When you go to take the oath ceremony, they will give you a form where you list the trips you have taken between the interview and your ceremony. Keep in mind that if you want to travel with your new US Passport it will take about 2 weeks for express service and it will cost you $200 dollars. One more think. I have my interview in early December and my ceremony on February. So just wait a little more.
