Ive got a 3+ hr drive each way from SW corner of MO. 

Oh, wow! I didn't realize there weren't closer venues that held oath ceremonies. I definitely shouldn't complain.

Possible.

 

When I interviewed, I explained I was going to England for Christmas, and the officer told me my oath ceremony would probably be about a month out so I should be fine, but it's been over 2 months now. I know it's not the end of the world, I just want the process to be complete so I can apply for my passport.

Trust me I know the feeling. I want this to be complete now.

The last ceremony close to us was in Union station on 1/27

Occasionsly there is one in Springfield .. last year it was in September. Not waiting that long. I had a 4 hr each way drive to St Louis for biometrics in November, a 3 1/2 hr each way drive to KC  in December for the interview, a 3 1/2 hr drive each way again  for the oath  .. and then i have a 4 1/2 hr each way drive to Hot Springs a week later  to get a passport so I can do an urgent trip to my 93 yr old parents in Australia   🤪

I wonder if they'll hold more there, or if it was a one-off ceremony?

Oh my gosh, how inconvenient. I was fortunate in that they reused my biometrics. Lovely how they don't refund the fee, though, eh? I'm sure it'll be so worth it once you're back in Australia with your parents. I hope the entire process goes smoothly for you and that you have a lovely time at home.

Unfortunately not. I saw someone else scheduled for their oath on 2/25 and their interview was after mine, in January. The only thing was they filed earlier than me, so perhaps it has more to do with filing date than interview date. Either that or something's gone wrong for me haha.

I’m not sure. I filed in Oct 2020, my interview was in Jan. I think they are just that ridiculously behind and/or Covid-19 doesn’t help. I think MO is holding two ceremonies in a month vs Kansas City is only one. We’re now going be to waiting until at least March if not April 😞😡

Oh, wow. So you filed before me too because I only filed September 2021. I was so happy to receive my interview so quickly, but now I just want my oath so I know when I can go home and visit my family again.
