My husband had his oath today! FINALLY DONE!!!

 

I just want to give everyone a heads up: the oath is happening outside in the courtyard and there's no shade. My husband's face got sunburned from having to be in the sun for so long, so if anyone is concerned about that, be sure to wear sunscreen. 😕  Also, if it's a hot day, be prepared to be comfortable. Thankfully today's weather was very nice.

Yes, sure! A new update on my profile 10 days ago: Estimated time* until case decision: 

approx. 13 months


I couldn’t be happier! Right?

Ridiculous.

Ridiculous.

The number itself is dumb, but I would actually take it as a good sign. Someone touched the file.

 

My understanding is that others with interviews and even oaths scheduled had their estimate jump up to over 12 months.

Congrats! 

 

Do they allow family to attend?  If so, any limits?

Agreed. My number was 15 months two days before my interview.

As soon as my interview was complete, my status was changed to inline for oath. The estimate disappeared.
