Should we simply send them a letter or would you recommend talking to local senator etc?So he technically speaking hasn’t cleared the interview if a decision is yet to be made. You need to follow up with USCIS to figure out what the case status is.
Can you clarify if this is using uscis case status online https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do, or my.uscis.gov https://my.uscis.gov/ ?Uscis online is still reflecting pre interview status that an interview has been scheduled. It never changed after conclusion of the interview. It has been 8 months now.
I didn’t actually get a “written decision” either though, the next thing I got physically after the form with the boxes checked (and I also got ”decision cannot be made yet” or however it’s phrased) at the interview, was the oath scheduling letter. (I think my online status changed to inline for oath in the interim though.) I am surprised OP does not seem to have been following the case on uscis case status page. I hope nothing went astray in the mail.

My USCIS account simply had an electronic update for that, saying “We approved your application. Your final step to becoming a citizen is to attend your naturalization ceremony. We will mail you a letter when we schedule your naturalization ceremony.“ But that was the only notice of approval, nothing mailed. The 4 documents mailed were receipt notice, bio appointment scheduled, interview scheduled, oath ceremony scheduled.I see. I got recommended for approval at the end of mine. Approval notice was posted to my account by the next day, the approval notice showed up in the mail a couple of days later followed by the Oath notification a couple of days later.
