I had my interview on Tuesday and I m a bit upset, to be honest.
Everything went well overall, I passed the testing portion, we documented my intended name change, went through the entire application.
Towards the end, the officer suddenly told me that I didn t have a current photo on file,
mind you, I had done biometrics last year for my greencard renewal and had the letter stating that I didn t need biometrics done.
She agreed, but nevertheless, no photo.
She told me to go get that done right after we were done, she d then recommend my file for approval and we could schedule the oath ceremony then.
I asked how long she thinks this may take and she said 3-6 months!
Like, whaaat???
We are moving out of state (and possible overseas) over the summer, so I ll also need my passport asap.
she told me to wait for a letter that says I m approved and to then email them and they ll schedule me asap.
It just so happens that my husband (retiring out of the military next month) got a job offer overseas and they want him to start asap.
Now I wonder how long I should wait or if I should just email soon and ask to help me out with the scheduling.
I don t understand what would take that long, uploading that photo or the name change?
Typically, their office does oath ceremony the same day as interview.
What do you guys think?
