I am in line for oath ceremony, but I have been in line for 3 weeks now.

I'm trying to figure out what could be the delay here. I'm starting to wonder are they back expressing the online filers and we paper filers sit and wait again. 

How long after your interview did you move in line for oath ?

I don't think online filers get their oath ceremonies scheduled faster. It's just they get interviews way faster. Once you're interviewed, there's only one like for oath ceremonies.

I've heard it can take anywhere from 3-6 weeks to get a oath date. I also believe paper and online filers are in the same waiting period for oath. 

 

I hope @silvershadow369and @Waitinggame16receive the oath date this month!

Actually my online account still says "We approved your application". It's only on the case status update that says "Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled". But for the latter, it changed status the day after my application was approved (so around 2/27). And surely at this point it shouldn't matter whether you were paper or online filer?

 

When I had my interview, the IO told me to make myself available for the oath ceremony in 30-40 days time (from case approval, which for me was on the same day as interview). Perhaps Chicago just has a high load of oath-takers right now, and the IO knew this, so told me that it would take about a month.

 

Does anybody know how frequently Chicago has oath ceremonies?
