I think I'm going to go crazy!

Hey guys! My wife went in for her naturalization interview (in Atlanta, GA) and she was one of the lucky (more like unlucky) few that are now stuck in the security checks before she gets the Oath Letter. What was more weird is that the Interviewing Officer told her that she should expect a letter in 2-3 days after the interview... But now it has been exactly 30 days after and nothing has changed.

I did call the USCIS hotline and the person on the other line said that an interview letter was sent, but I told her that it is the incorrect status and that my wife has already had her interview and now she is in the security check black hole. When I told her to transfer me to her supervisor or an Immigration Officer, she said that she was not able to and that I had to setup an InfoPass appointment with the Local Office to talk to an Immigration Officer at the Local Office.

So what do I do now:

1) Am I overreacting that it has only been 30 days and still need to wait?
2) The USCIS officer said that after 90 days from the interview they can send a request to the Local Office for status, do I need to wait for that?
3) Should I contact my US Representative and/or Senator now? If so, do I call their office directly, e-mail them, or send them a certified letter? Or all of the above?
4) I also read that I can contact the FBI at (304-625-5590 option 3) and give them the alien number to check if the name check has cleared. After contacting them and saying that it is now back in USCIS hands, do I have more leverage to contact USCIS about my case?
5) Any other suggestions that you guys might have to push this along?

Thank you in advanced! Your forums have helped me alot in this process!

1) Yes. Many people without any security check delays or other issues still wait more than 30 days.
3) It's too early to contact them.

The good thing is that she had an interview, so the 120-day clock for 1447(b) has been counting.

Thanks for the reply! When contacting the representative, is it via phone or e-mail?

Better to call. You can also go to the representative's web page and may they have some days where stuff from the representatives
office have meeting with the people (mine has such in each Tuesday's in public library). So you can go there and talk to stuff in person.
