What did you put in your email? I am going to contact my senator today and struggling with what to write. 

Just express your opinion in your words. No need to worry about academic language etc. My email was pretty short, around 5 sentences. I wrote like why all companies implemented online technologies but USCIS no, also mentioned coming election, and what in general the process is very long and with Covid is getting worse, blablabla. 
Senator is a good idea also, plus Nancy Pelosi.

I tried with my Senator here. Visited his website and wrote a message. In most cases, matters like these will be handled by one of Senator's staff who handle the immigration. So got a reply back from someone else in his office with a standard verbiage "We recommend you to wait with patience till June 4th......."

 

I had asked "If senator's office had any updates on how the future oath ceremonies would be scheduled as the Court houses are closed. And would the Field offices consider conducting daily ceremonies or would Senator's office be able to interact with Field offices and recommending to pick up the ceremonies on a case to case basis". I wasnt too optimistic about Senator's office being able to help us. Also, the lady (Senator's staff) was a little blunt and almost implied like we have other things going on...as well...

I contacted Senator in my state and they replied with generic e-mail that they will relay the information to USCIS. They also sent me Privacy release form so they could ask my case to be looked at. Honestly what they sent me was not convincing. I am going to wait until June 4th and see how USCIS acts.

That privacy release form is as good as you getting hold of L2 USCIS staff when you call 1 800 375 5283 and request an update....

Unfortunately yes, so i won`t even bother filling out and send to them.

I think this is a good idea. Give people the choice to attend oath remotely. What YOU think is a good/bad idea doesn't necessarily mean others think the same. I absolute HATE the ones trying to use their opinions to dictate others. Let's make it optional so people can choose to attend remotely or on site.

that is not gonna happen, what I am expecting is when they open they will start first schedule the oath ceremonies.

And what makes you think it's not gonna happen?

Because uscis in their website they mentioned that , they will perform small ceremonies when possible(In certain limited situations, USCIS may be able to perform small naturalization ceremonies for limited numbers of applicants, when it is feasible and all appropriate precautions can be taken)

Yes, they're doing what they can at the moment to deal with the challenging situation. But that doesn't tell me anything about them ruling out the option of remote ceremony.

One of new USC from San Antonio TX today, only 7 people in the ceremony.

Congratulations!!

if they only allow 7 people in a ceremony, we are doomed. They need to either perform those ceremony everyday to catch up otherwise it will be another backlog for those ceremonies just like other cases. But guess it`s better than nothing. 🤔

Yea exactly they need to do it every day otherwise the backlog of oath ceremonies will be brutal 

They also need to conduct same day oath when the interviews start with social distancing

I have a hunch that they might open up multiple windows like US Consulates and make it a daily activity till the load becomes manageable for big ceremonies
