Thank you PhillyDude... Chrisw6 did you ever got ur security clearance in the one year period after the interview? Thanks for sharing ur experience!

Chrisw6 - How come your status is showing up on the web? I thought once, you have been scheduled for FP(fingerprints), ur status doesn't show up on the web... it goes to the local bcis/uscis office. I think ur correct, ur FP have expired and now TSC will have to schedule u again for a...

Tina210, Great news! Good to know USCIS is scheduling ppl for Oath ceremony. I am still waiting… :confused:

Oath delay ...Same boat... waiting for 3 months... I have contacted my Senator's office and they have told me it might take up to 6 months to an Year... before I hear back from BCIS... Also, I was told that by that time... my current security clearance will have expired and BCIS will have to...
