You should go to the local office ( USCIS ) and they should  you a copy of your letter so you can attend your ceremony .

good luck 

I have the letter with date/time and address so I can attend the ceremony no problem.

 

I am missing all other info that is on the letter: i.e. bring your greencard, dress code etc. Do you have that info?

Did you receive double sided letter or single side ??? Can you see back side page also??? Coz there is some information for you to fill up....when you go there.

Can you tell me how did you receive the fax... at home or at some store. Coz my oath ceremony is also scheduled next week but I still haven’t received the letter. On talking to a Tier-2 representative I was told that if I don’t receive by this weekend then I should call on Monday and they will Fax me the letter.

Can you tell me how it works...I.e when you ask them to fax you when do they fax... immediately or after couple of hours???? When they fax you do they call you to inform you that they faxed you????

of course i checked front and back.

 

i googled uscis number, explained the problem and they faxed it to my office within  a few hours. no they do not notify you when fax is sent.

So there is the questionnaire at the back to fill it and take with you to your oath...

Questions like did you travelled out of country after your Citizenship interview, did you got detained after your interview...and so on ......

Then you are fine... don’t worry and simply show up at the ceremony...You will be fine then...

Finally Did Oath on 3rd of May 2018    

 

It took us 1 year minus 5 days. 360 days that is from the day we mailed the package

 

Highlights of USCIS's impeccable performance

1. Multiple requests to find out what was going on with the case (after it fell into past normal processing) were never returned
2. Address change request over the phone -> Bungled it up. Updated mailing address instead of the physical address 
3. 2nd Attempt at correcting the address over the phone -> Very helpful sounding agent spends very patient 10 minutes taking all the new/old address information..... 3 weeks later get an email saying "Could not process as new address not provided" LOL
4. Once Address was done correctly VIA ONLINE form (should have done this in the first place).......... Listen to this one
   1. Application was filed in El Paso
   2. All notices came to El Paso
   3. Interview took place in El Paso
   4. Oath? Lets send you over to OAKLAND. Yes I got my oath ceremony in Oakland, CA. Had to book a $650 RT ticket on 10 day notice. 
   5. I was prepared to show up to oath and be told "Our bad, your certificate is not here".... BUT that did not happen and i'm a happy cookie now
