Any updates?? I checked the myaccount site and my letter was on there (I haven't received it in the mail yet). My interview is on 4/5 at 2:30pm. Do you think the oath will be the same day? I've heard the oath is only on the same day if the interview is early in the morning but I don't know if seattle is like that. Keeping my fingers crossed for you! 

Where did you find the letter I can't find mine?

It was uploaded to the myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov site about 1.5 days after I got a notification via email saying my interview was scheduled. I just received the paper letter today. Are you in Seattle too?

Seattle FO does have same day oath. You have to have an early enough interview though. I think I heard before noon so you can take the oath at 1:30. I know sometimes they have a later (5 pm) oath but it's not every day. I was going to ask if you'd like to add your timeline to the tracker but you're almost done. It could still be a good reference if you want to participate.

So, just a quick question for anyone that's had the interview and oath. What other documents did you take with you because all it says on the letter is:

The letter

Green Card

Selective Service docs

Passport

Marriage Certificate

Divorce paperwork

Spouse's Birth Certificate

DD214 If you were in the forces.

I've seen people posting all sorts of paperwork that is required.

Thanks

They will tell you exactly what to bring, I have no idea why other people bring so much other paperwork which is not necessary unless requested.

We applied back in August.  Still waiting.
A friend of my wife's applied 5 months ago.   We both live in Nebraska and her friend just got an interview appointment.

 

They could at least word the website so it sounds like they are working on the next step of our case.  They word it like it's just not doing anything.  So annoying.

This is exactly my problem. I disagree with the 8/9 month timelines being thrown around by USCIS. I personally know of several people who applied in Oct/Nov and have received their interviews. Even my lawyer thinks that 7 months is not normal. 

 

I would at least like to get some explanation for the delay. If the IOE cases have issues, then why not explain what they are? Why not switch to NBC processing if the IOE procedures are not working (apparently IOE cases are fully digital). This is incredibly frustrating. 

 

I would maybe accept "general delay" as an excuse if everyone was also getting delayed. But clearly the 3-4 month timeline is working fine for many filers who filed well after us.
