N400 Decision can not be made at Chicago USCIS

[Katherine 1220 0]

I had my N400 interview Jan 30 2018, the English test pass but IO also marked Decision van not be made! Who knows how long the wait.  Who has the same case as me?

A decision can NEVER be made at the interview. EVERY single N-400 application has to be reviewed and signed off by a supervising I.O.
All the interviewing I.O. can do is "recommend" for approval. Time frame for that is about 2 to5 days.

Legally, USCIS has up to 120 days to render a decision.

More often than not, only takes a week or so as pointed out above.

Aren't some of the interviewers supervisors, though? People have posted in this forum that they were told they passed and given an oath letter then and there.

Yes you’re correct. I had a supervisor and got oath letter the same day.

I see we have a comedian.

If you get an oath letter right away, your interviewer is also a supervisor.

You don’t know if your IO has the authority to approve you on the spot, the cases are randomly designated. I know it’s hard, but try to relax, I’m sure you’ll hear something soon.
