Thanks proyes.

I read about Oath Ceremony letter being being handed out after the interview too (I think in August thread) but that hasn't been the case when I was there yesterday. During the 50 minutes that I waited to be called in, number of people came out and none of them waited. Some were men, some were women, some looked happy, some not so much smile.png. But nobody set down and waited. The interviewing officer specifically said to wait for the letter in the mail, 15 - 30 days. So I'll have to wait and see. I'm an old pro at waiting by now tongue.png

Hey KAT & A

Any update on your online status since interview?

Hey KAT & A

Any update on your online status since interview?

Well, I received a text this morning that my case has been updated but when I checked on USCIS website, no change, not even that decision has been made. Still in testing and interviewing stage. So now I don't know if they've notified me that the final decision has been made or that they've sent me an Oath ceremony letter. rolleyes.gif

Since I was already checking, I looked for Orlando processing times and they've increased to 8.3 months!!! So for all I know, I could have a ceremony in August and still be within their processing times. The mind boggles.....

Maybe you had just a LUD... Don't worry about the processing times, it is just an estimate which is usually longer than the actual times. You should get your letter in the coming days.

Good luck!

They've probably sent your oath letter. My online status still says that my interview letter has been sent. So.. I'm taking this as good news :)

Thanks for the support poyes and mozplay. There can't be all that many people reading November board any longer :).

I had another text message yesterday afternoon. No change on the website but when I finally opened my email, I found out that the first text related to the first email they sent me advising me that they've put me in line for oath scheduling. There was also 2nd email (relating to the later text message) to tell me that they've sent me a letter with oath ceremony date. That must be the shortest government line I was ever in :). I'll likely receive the letter tomorrow so I'll keep you posted. Just hope the ceremony is not this Friday! Do you know how much time they usually give you between receiving the letter and the oath ceremony itself?

Congrats KAT & A!

Keep us posted

Good luck!!

The oath ceremony letter arrived yesterday. Scheduled for June 7th @ 7 am. Somehow I doubt the ceremony will start that early....probably they just want to get all of us through the security in time for 9 o'clock. ;)

Congrats, KAT & A!!!! Yay! You'll be all done in less than a week!

At my ceremony, we started within a few minutes of the stated start time; I guess it just depends on where you are as each site may do things a little differently. Show up on time and take a book, just in case :)

The oath ceremony letter arrived yesterday. Scheduled for June 7th @ 7 am. Somehow I doubt the ceremony will start that early....probably they just want to get all of us through the security in time for 9 o'clock. wink.png

Did you have your oath ceremony? How did it go? Did it start @ 7 am?

Thanks!
