We have had the interview for citizenship and are awaiting the letter with his swearing in ceremony date.  We will be doing it in Louisville, that is where the interview was.  We got an email on Monday stating that the date was set for the ceremony and that we should get a letter in the mail.  It has not come yet.  My question is, does anyone know what kind of timeline they give from the letter to the ceremony?  Hoping someone might know the answer.

My letter arrived approximately 2.5 weeks before my ceremony date.  Everyone's mileage will vary, of course---depending on how frequently oath ceremonies are held in your jurisdiction, you may have a very short wait time.

 

If you google oath ceremony schedules in your area, it may give you an idea of how spaced out they are.

I had my interview somewhere around December, didn't get an update until January. My oath was last day of February. But that was 3 years ago and it could be a little faster or slower. If I were you I'd call the court and see when do they have oath ceremony  scheduled
