Thanks Suzukiwookie.

Jon and Sol, hope you guys hear something positive before the end of the week.

Congrats on your progress, and thanks for the kind thought.

As you may have guessed, I'm the spouse of the (hopefully) soon to be citizen. Sol is much more calm about such things, I wish I knew how to be. But after 7 years of being a couple, 4.5 of being married, and 4 of this lovely process, I know you all understand how fed up I am.

Your frustration is understandable, Jon. I really hope Sol gets her oath appointment soon. I am waiting myself but I can already foresee that I will be missing my best friend's wedding in May because my IO told me the oath ceremony for me will be in about 2 months. Blah.

Tadli77 you can still attend the wedding before oath. You should get a letter in the next month.

It has been 14 days since being placed on the oath que for me. I agree with everyone the wait is frustrating.

CAUTION!!!

Greetings,

I just received a letter from USCIS saying that “This is to advise you that, due to unforeseen circumstances, we have had to cancel the previously scheduled interview on Tuesday, March 11 2014 at 12pm. We regret any inconvenience this may cause. We will advise you of any further action taken on this case, including any rescheduled interview information, under separate notice!!!

I believe this is another trial/test from Almighty God; apart from that I just wanted to share to see if you are familiar with such a weird situation? Please don’t ignore to drop your lines based upon your experience/knowledge.

Best Regards
