How long between getting e-mail notification that interview was scheduled and getting the lettter?

Hey All,



I received notification that I was scheduled for an interview on 1/27/15 and that a letter has been mailed out with the date and instructions. However, today is 2/8/2015 and still no letter. How long should I wait before contacting USCIS? Is anybody else in the same boat? I am concerned because I do not want to miss the interview ... it seems that all the interviews are about 1 months after receiving notification of scheduling.



Thanks,

I got the text on 2/2 and the actual mail on 2/6. So 4 days. It is reasonable to give a week or so. Given that yours has been for almost 2 weeks, I would try to find out this week.

so what? the uscis. gov status check wil keep saying interview scheduled even after you give oath and become a citizen?

Does USCIS email you ?text your phone, call you if they scheduled you for oath? is it always that you have to wait 5 hours on phone to get a tier 2 agent or go to infpass for any update?

Yes; sometimes they do not update it. It is not a reliable measure of the status of your application.

how do you even know you are scheduled for oath or letter is mailed? email, text? they call you?

You will get an N-445 form in the mail that will tell you the date and place of your ceremony. This will have a questionnaire that you will need to fill out and sign on the day of your oath ceremony.

I don't know if you'll get a text or an email. Since the texts and emails are automated, usually people who don't get online updates just get the letter.

It appears that it can take anywhere from a few days to three months between getting 'In line for Interview' and getting the letter with the interview date. I have waited two weeks so far and fully expect to wait another month or so.
