Hi Guys, 

My Journey is about to be over.

I am done my interview on july 31st. Was more than easy. Just remember the officer has all your file in front of him. Do not lie be honest and tell the truth and youwill be fine. 

Decision can't be made. In the same day got a notification online that I've been approved. Then today got my oath letter In houston Aug 23rd. 

I am so happy. It was long wait. It took 1 year and 1 month to get it done. God bless America. I am happy and wish you all best of luck.

Add me to August filer sent online 08/08/2017

Hi tiase777,

 

you are in the wrong thread: we are 2016 filers, and most of us have had their oath ceremony (a few unlucky ones are still waiting) -- but to track your progress, you want to search for August 2017 :)

 

Good luck on your journey!

They will send a letter within 10 business days to the address they have on file for you, it will tell you where and when to go for interview and what documents to bring.

I am afraid I will not see a letter within 10 business days, this notification has been there for months.  I did ask the Fargo IO questions and he as nice enough to reply with a letter.  Then, back in May 9 2017, they were "processing" application from May 9, 2016, so exactly a year backlog. Can anyone tell me what "processing" means, with regards to actual interview notice/date?  

 

Thanks,

Emil

I just got the update from ELIS that my wife's ceremony has been scheduled. There's a ceremony on August 25th and September 15th, so I'm going to guess it's on the 25th of this month.

Only option is wait.

 

You can contact Ombudsman to see , if they can help , because your case is outside of normal processing window.

 

Is it IOE case ?
