Travel Abroad in 3 days- USCIS sent the oath ceremony letter TODAY-How to survive

[mitra 0]

Hi folks,

I just checked in the USCIS website with my receipt number & saw that they sent me the oath ceremony letter today.But i'm leaving the country this Thursday (in 3 days). I called them but the operator told me that they don't know about the DATE in my letter.

Is that true?

Is there any way that I can figure out which date will be my Oath ceremony through USCIS?

Thanks a lot

Operators only see what you see on the tiny case status site. That a letter was sent to you. They have no access what so ever to the contents of the letter.

This depends on your USCIS field office. Some field offices in larger towns have fixed venues for monthly oath ceremonies throughout the year. For examples, we can Google 2011 monthly oath ceremony schedule for LA and SF field offices online.

When you call USCIS line, do not let level one person turn you away (they like to tell you you must wait 90 days before you can call), stick to your gun and ask to speak to a level two person. When a level 2 comes on, he/she can tell you your assigned oath date.

One well kept USCIS secret on oath ceremony is : if you know your oath date and venue, you can go to the oath ceremony without an oath letter in your hand. Just show up early and ask to speak to Resolution Desk, they can look you up on their list of names to be sworn in that day, issue you a replacement oath letter on the spot. You need to answer some questions on the back of the oath letter and sign it before you are allowed into the ceremony room.

Good luck and cheers

You'll find out when you come back. Usually it's about a month or so away. If you miss it, you reschedule. No big deal.

See you discovered that trick to finally receive a long awaited oath letter, buy an airline ticket.

You don't specify your field office, could be another nine month wait, its your choice what to do.

Only thing you have to do at the oath ceremony, is show up, stand when you are told to stand, sit when you are told to sit. Then get your certificate.
