Decision cannot be made

[Catlady75 2]

Can anyone tell me their experience on this subject. I had my interview last Monday and although everything went well, the Office told me he needed hi Supervisor to sign it off, so he marked my paper, decision cannot be made. How long have people waited to be put in line for Oath Ceremony, or have been told that they are now recommended to be put in line.

thanks

This is one of those how long is a piece of string questions sadly based on reading through older threads on here.

 

Did they say why a decision could not be made?  From what I gather it could be from a variety things, like even if your interview went fine, you passed all the questions etc, but maybe your background check was still pending for example.  I think I read on here in another thread that some field offices (I dont know if all of them do it) meet weekly internally to review cases where they haven't made a clear decision, say if the officer reviewing your case was new or junior.

He told me he needed his supervisor to sign it off, I believe he was a junior officer, in fact he was shaking more than me, so maybe I was his first. So I guess my question is, how long does it sit on the supervisors desk before he checks it.

Well I've read some cases sit for 90 days or longer in worst case scenarios.  But optimistically/realistically you are probably looking at a week or two at the most.

Thank you, will try to remain optimistic, it's always a waiting game, I feel like my life is on hold at the moment. If I haven't heard anything by the end of August I will make a call and see if I can get an answer.

When did you file? the wait is killer! (edit because of accidental question mark)

The beginning of October last year, had my Biometrics done on Nov 8th. I phoned Customer Service at the beginning of May and within a week got my interview date, June 5th. Apparently those of us in Alabama have to take our oath in Montgomery now and they only do 4 ceremonies a year, the next one being July 5th. I'm not worried if I have to wait until October, but I'm hoping to go back to the U.K. end of July to help out with my little grandson, but I can't book a flight or make any other arrangements in case I get the July date for my oath. Patience is the key, but it's hard.
