Quick question for everyone, my timeline for Estimated Completion Time on my account said 12 months when I started. Its been 2  month and now it says 10 months of course. I know this is just an estimate, but I see that for a lot of people it said "6 months" as an estimate when they started. Had anyone else seen over 6 months as an estimate when they started this process?

Which number should I call? And do I just ask for an L2 officer immediately?

 

Thanks.

Call 1 (800) 375-5283  and when you to talk to the rep, politely ask to be transferred to a level 2 officer. The rep will not see anything more than what you see online. The level 2 officer knows where your file is and has access to the internal systems they use.

My wife had her oath ceremony on Friday, January 19th. 

 

This is for 500 Pearl Street in Manhattan. 

 

It is a complete different experience than what @Going through experienced back in October in Brooklyn. 

 

My wife's oath letter stated 10am so we left home about 8am but due to subway delays we got there about 9:30, it usually takes me 30 minutes from home to work which is one subway stop less. So it is a good idea to give yourself cushion time if traveling by the subway.

 

The courthouse address is 500 Pearl Street. However, the main Pearl Street entrance is reserved for employees only. The visitor's entrance is around the corner @ the north side of the building on Worth Street. Columbus Park/Playground (Chinatown) is across the street. Fyi, Columbus Park is located in what was part of the Five Points district and was portrayed in the movie "Gangs of New York" directed by Martin Scorsese.

 

There is an airport style security screening - you empty your pocket and put all belonging as well as your coat in a bin. There was a long line to enter, three of the 4 long rows were filled with people. There are 4 scanners so the line was moving. The gentleman directing people was giving instructions to everyone to turn off their cell and check it in as electronic devices are not allowed inside. We had to hand in both our cell phones and smart watches. 

 

The area to turn in your devices is located right after you pass the scanners but before you enter the main area. You hand in your devices and you are given a round metal chip with a number written on it.

 

The main jury room is right there as you enter, just a couple of feet from the devices check-in area and it is huge.

There was a long line of people. There was a sign at the entrance instructing people on how to fill the back of the oath ceremony notice. There was also an immigration officer who was walking the line checking everyone's letter. Some people dated the letter with a day or two prior but he changed the date to the current date. So make sure you date your oath letter with the date of your oath ceremony. 

 

The oath check-in area was divided in three. There was a main line where you first go to turn in your green card and there were two people at that desk. They asked you "have anything change since your interview".  You were handed a big white envelope which contains a hard folder to hold your certificate, a two-side card with the "pledges", info on voting & serving on a jury and a passport application. 

 

You were then directed to either a line on the left of the room or one on the right. That is where you check your certificate to ensure that it is correct and sign it. There were 2 officers stationed at each desk (so 6 officers total). My wife was sent to the line on the right as well as most of the other oath takers. Not sure what the line on the left was for. 

 

I stayed on both line with her the entire time, the immigration office even made a joke saying "oh you here with her for moral support".  The officers would tell everyone "you are here because you requested a name change", the show the person he name change certificate & tell them "this is your previous name & this is the name you are changing it to, is this correct?", then he would instruct them to verify the certificate is correct. 

 

There were a few errors with some of the oath takers certificate but they were mainly with signatures. Some people actually had their name printed on their picture instead of a signature. You are suppose to print your name on the back of the picture & sign the front, but it looks like interviewers had some applicants do the reverse, including my wife (the interviewer did as my wife for pics at the interview). The officers at the oath ceremony had them resign the certificate on the stamped part.  

 

It was a long process, they started check-in in people way before 10am but didn't finish until a few minutes before 12 -the ceremony was suppose to start at 11:30am. There was a 5-10 minute wait as the officers cleared out their area and packed up.

 

Then we were all told to rise and the judge entered. If I recall correctly, it was judge Katherine Forrest and she gave a beautiful and aspiring speech. I have watched a few speeches on youtube and hers was wonderful.

 

The guest were told to sit while the applicants were  instructed to remain standing and they took the "Oath of Allegiance". Then we all stand, face the flag and say the "Pledge of Allegiance". 

 

The judge repeatedly said that it was a long day and she didn't want to keep us any longer.

 

There was no guest speaker nor was there a video/speech by the president.

 

There was no acknowledge of the countries represented nor was there an announcement of the number of new citizens.

There were about a dozen no-show, an immigration officer was  calling out names for them to come forward and only 1 person came forward.

 

The new citizens names were not called by alphabetical order or the likes. I think that was due to time restraint (not having enough time to organize them).

 

They did call about a dozen people first as they stated that these people had appointments back at Federal Plaza. We were seated in the 6th row from the front so we heard part of the conversation; they instructed some to go to Duane Reade and take passport pictures & other to bring the documents they had with them and what room to go to at Federal Plaza. These people did take the oath and were handed the certificate so not sure what the reasons were.

 

The immigration officers were very professional, there was one officer who would come over and help translate.

The place was filled with some people standing in the back. I tried counting how many seats in the room by counting the rows but got lost at 272 seats, so it was a very large group taking the oath. 

 

Also to note, that some guest(s) did sit together with their spouse/family member. I did sit in the front with my wife, there was no instruction on where to sit or not to sit. The only instruction was not to sit in the first front row on either side.

 

I wanted to stay and ask the immigrant  officers how many new citizens & number of countries represented but we were pressed for time.  My wife was one of the early people who was called to pick up her certificate AND we had to go pick up our son from school which dismiss at 2:20pm. We didn't make prior arrangements as we didn't think that it would take that long, someone we know took their oath the week prior and was done by & out of the building by 12pm.

 

We were out of the building with certificate in hand by about 12:50pm, we were there for a little over 3 hours. There were some people there longer - they were already there when we arrive & still there when we left.

 

 While leaving there were some people taking picture in-front the main entrance with their certificate, I even took a few pics for someone who wanted family pics.

Got my oath ceremony scheduled for Feb 9 (next Friday)!

 

Quick backdrop: last week, after seeing some NY oath ceremonies being scheduled ahead of me, I took an advice I saw on a different NY-based thread here, and showed up to the USCIS building (26 Federal Plaza), without an infopass appointment, and asked to talk to a supervisor. I first went to the 7th floor (Manhattan filers) to see if it's possible to move me from Brooklyn to Manhattan and ideally for a soon date. After an hour of a wait, I met with the supervisor, who told me that since the offices recently split, they can't transfer my case.

 

I then went to the 8th floor (Brooklyn), which is the same waiting room as I had for my interview, and waited for another 1.5 hours to talk to the supervisor there. He said that my case is within normal processing times, and that they're currently in the process of scheduling the oath for my batch of December interviewees. And that I should expect to have the oath ceremony for sometime in February. Lo and behold, yesterday I received an update to the ELIS system, and this morning an update to the online filer system that the oath ceremony has been scheduled and letter mailed. The PDF then showed up later today. Definitely clueless on whether me popping by the USCIS office did anything to jolt my case, or if it was just a happy coincidence (I'm guessing the former).

 

Anyway, the oath ceremony is scheduled for 8:30am @ Cadman Plaza in Brooklyn (which is conveniently just a 10 minute walk from my apartment).

 

Best of luck to all the other members here, and thanks again for all the intel! Will post the updated tracker in a second.

So they actually said that they are scheduling december interviewees now? Which means they will put me in line sometime in February. Hopefully. I have an infopass in 9th February, lets see if I can manage to speak to the supervisor and ask him for scheduling early. 

 

When did they put you in line for oath online? How many days after your interview?

I think I was put in line for oath the very same or next day. Are you still not even "in line" for oath?

 

Note that infopass meetings are on a different floor (I think on 3rd floor) vs. where the supervisors are (7th floor for NYC filers, same as where the interviews are).

Thought I'd share my InfoPass experience today with you guys.

 

A little background: Had my interview back in July and was told decision cannot be made. Received an RFE mid-September to provide documents that my wife and I are living in marital union and submitted them in October. Didn't hear anything after that, and after a few calls, I was told my application was approved 10/28/17.

 

My appointment was 8 am this morning (I figured I'd go there before work) and after going through security, I was on the third floor at 7:50 - I found the floor basically empty (compared to being flooded with people waiting for their interviews). Took a number and was sitting in front of an officer in less than 10 minutes. Explained the situation and he looked up my case and said that my case was indeed approved, but since they have been splitting the offices of 26 Federal Plaza have been split, my file has been sitting on the supervisors desk (since the officer that interviewed me approved it) and it was just there collecting dust since they're behind on scheduling oath ceremonies.

 

He filed a request for me and in the description, he wrote "N400 approved. Schedule ASAP." and told that I should hear back within two weeks, and if I don't hear back in two weeks, I should come back to the same window (without an appointment) and see him and jokingly said, "This is called accountability!"

 

He, honestly, gave me a little ray of hope and I really hope that my status changes soon.

 

Good luck to all of us still waiting!

Thought I'd share my InfoPass experience today with you guys.

 

A little background: Had my interview back in July and was told decision cannot be made. Received an RFE mid-September to provide documents that my wife and I are living in marital union and submitted them in October. Didn't hear anything after that, and after a few calls, I was told my application was approved 10/28/17.

 

My appointment was 8 am this morning (I figured I'd go there before work) and after going through security, I was on the third floor at 7:50 - I found the floor basically empty (compared to being flooded with people waiting for their interviews). Took a number and was sitting in front of an officer in less than 10 minutes. Explained the situation and he looked up my case and said that my case was indeed approved, but since they have been splitting the offices of 26 Federal Plaza have been split, my file has been sitting on the supervisors desk (since the officer that interviewed me approved it) and it was just there collecting dust since they're behind on scheduling oath ceremonies.

 

He filed a request for me and in the description, he wrote "N400 approved. Schedule ASAP." and told that I should hear back within two weeks, and if I don't hear back in two weeks, I should come back to the same window (without an appointment) and see him and jokingly said, "This is called accountability!"

 

He, honestly, gave me a little ray of hope and I really hope that my status changes soon.

 

Good luck to all of us still waiting! 

I have made an online inquiry about my case being outside processing times on 25th January. Couple of minutes ago I received an answer saying that I am currently in process of being scheduled for an oath ceremony and will be mailed with date time and place.

 

Note,however, that I did not get an online update since interview (a bit over two weeks) which still says interview scheduled. Also 2 days ago I spoke with an immigration officer on phone wjo said my file was on quality review since interview day even though it was recommended for approval. A day later they are saying it is being scheduled for oath. No online update whatsoever.

 

Email I received was from Queens Field Office but i am not sure about the "accountability" as they may ne just making it up as they go. I believe pushing your case number in their faces repeatedly gets a lot of attention in a positive way and I would recommend everyone to do the same. Otherwise your paper files may sit on the desk and collect dust until somebody notices.
