I see from the spreadsheet that 6 people are waiting for oath dates. Is there any updates from these 6 people?

Sadly no, even though we were told the applications would be marked approved that same week.  It's now been a month since interview and zero movement/notifications/status change.

We actually have seven, and the eighth one will join us tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be the third week I'm waiting for oath letter as well.

YES! i just logged in to check my status. It used to show April 2020 as estimated completion date. now it seems they've taken that away and Estimated Wait time = ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

 

Congrats to all who got their interview letters and oath ceremony all scheduled!

Guys ... my interview is tomorrow afternoon and suddenly I'm super nervous. There really isn't anything I should be nervous about. I'm applying as a green card holder 30+ years. I came here as a refugee child. I grew up in this country and speak and write English fluently. I got the civics stuff down. I've never traveled outside the country. Should be approved easily right? I hope so! 

 

I'm just afraid they might ask me why I didn't apply for citizenship sooner. Are they allowed to ask such questions? I don't really have a good answer for it. To be totally honest, I never saw it as a huge priority being young at the time and I guess my parents never pushed for it. It's not a good answer. 

 

I'll come back with good news tomorrow I hope.

Our updated to this as well.

The other day it was saying 9 months, I think.  Maybe they don't want evidence that they plan on taking 2 years to process some of them.  😂

This is a computer update “cliche” that replace the estimated waiting time. They don’t want the people to see the horrible and scary waiting time. Now everybody wait until further notice, with no estimate time. This is crazy.

Its because the latest Data has been published by USCIS and Minneapolis office has not improved its numbers.  Perhaps they will update it or just keep the wait generic.
