strange letter from uscis

[dmd01708 3]

Ok so I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. I had my interview and the other week I got my oath letter (utica ny june 20th and about 15 mins from my house) well today I got another letter another oath letter for another oath ceremony but in a totally different county more than 2:30 hours away from my house. I tried calling uscis but its out of hours, has anyone ever had this happen to them? Thing is I have booked the day off of work and there is no way I can change the days as Im the only person who does the medical billing in our office so my boss cancelled every single patient that we had booked in for june 20th (he will flip if I have to change the date).

Thank you in advance

A question we often receive is: "I had an interview scheduled at my local Field Office, but the office was closed on the day of my appointment because of bad weather. What should I do?"

Answer: If the office was closed due to inclement weather, a power outage, or for some other unexpected occurrence, the office will automatically reschedule you for an interview as soon as possible. The same is true if your naturalization ceremony was cancelled; the Field Office will schedule you for another ceremony. The date of your rescheduled ceremony may vary, due to factors such as when the facility hosting your ceremony is available or when the court is able to accommodate the ceremony. If you scheduled an InfoPass appointment, you will need to schedule a new appointment on your own.

Here's a clue for you.

Ithaca only does 3 ceremonies a year and they did one in May. Is it Syracuse by chance?

no not in syracuse (although I would rather drive there than all the way down state to binghamton which is where the new letter says im to report to) my original letter is for Utica they do ceremonys 7 times a year, Im just a bit confused no matter though Ill drive down state no problem ill just have to be nice to my boss is all The only kicker is a family friend who is a federal judge was going to come to the ceremony to see me do my oath but oh well looks like Ill be on my own lol

Oh duh! I googled Ithaca instead of Utica. They sound alike don't they? 3 syllables, start with vowels, end in ca. Yeah right!

So sorry. My brain is scattered. I lost a dear friend today and just can't think straight. Maybe you can get some info from the courts too, like if they cancelled Utica for some reason or had too many, or moved the whole lot. Phone numbers http://www.nynd.uscourts.gov/CourtAddress.htm

Hey and pull strings and say you have a federal judge as a guest and need back on the Utica list.

Im sorry for your loss Nich-nick

Anyway I called the 1800 not so helpful customer service number and the bloke passed me up to a level 2 operator who inturn tried to tell me that "I couldnt have an oath letter let alone 2 as I have not even had my interview yet" when I told him I had my interview on may 21st he asked me "are you sure" ? WTH no buddy Im not sure maybe i took a day off of work drove to Albany and just sat in a cafe for a hour striking up conversations with complete strangers (dimlow) so I said to him shall I just make an appointment for an infopass and he said "no wait to hear from them by june 19th" (idiot man had no idea what he was talking about) so off I went to albany (after running out of work and telling my boss "SORRY GOTTA GO"). Well I got to Albany handed over my infopass paper plus the 2 oath letters the woman I saw said "well this is a first" lol so off she went to get an answer. So after 10 mins a supervisor came out and asked me to go to an office with her where she explained to me that "my name and last 3 digits of my A# are very much like another person who had their interview and my number was put on the letter by mistake therefore it was addressed to me" I asked her about the poor person who now is waiting for something in the post that they are not going to recieve she explained to me that they will correct it and that Im to go to my original date of june 20th in Utica for my ceremony ..... Holy cow today was a busy day for me lol
