Friend, I respectfully disagree and that's OK.

My Citizenship Ceremony is finally over. I attended the Judicial Oath Ceremony at the US Federal Courthouse in a pompous ceremony. The wait was every bit worth in this sense. Those of you, who are in NDGA territory of Atlanta, calculate at least 5-6 Oath ceremonies to be over before your turn...

Yes. You need them because they need to rule out bigamy.

Call the Federal District Court of your jurisdiction. I had mine. But, mine was Atlanta. I have no information on Houston. Thanks.

Are you sure? It is not the case unless that offense is classified as Felony for Immigration Purposes. FYI.

Same issue for me too. For me, say, if my name in my GC, SSN and everywhere is like "KANIYAN POONGUNRANAR", but in my Birth Certificate it is, "KANIYAN P", they say they will give it as "KANIYAN P." followed by a name-change to "KANIYAN POONGUNRANAR". If you think about it, it is crazy because I...

Kongu Naatu Thangame, Vanakkam. Greetings, kovaiGC. In my case too, it is like that only. I did NOT ask for name-change. Just because my last name was initialized as it's the wont in Tamil Nadu, ADO gave me a tough-time saying I need to undergo a name-change. At that time, I was besought with...

Got Oath Letter after 6 Months of Wait for Judicial Oath in Atlanta I got my Oath letter for April 8th Oath. Took 6 months of wait in Atlanta for name-change related Judicial Oath ceremonies. That should be the caveat emptor for folks, who may unwillingly be placed on this procedure during...

Did anybody at North Georgia District Court jurisdiction get any Oath scheduled from Atlanta?

Thanks, Vorpal. I belong to North Georgia District Court and they have fixed set of ceremonies each year. This time, they have 8 ceremonies scheduled. Every InfoPass visit, they say, I am in the queue, but, they aren't able to say when I will make it to the Oath. As you clarified, 1447(b) isn't...

@Vorpal and others: This is a very important question. I was approved after interview on October 19th, 2010. However, due to last-name being initialed in my birth-certificate (India), they considered it to be name-change and put me on Judicial Oath ceremony in Atlanta. It is now 118 days and I...

Sorry to hear that you will have to wait 13 months dude. I went on Infopass again on Feb 10th. I was told that I have not been scheduled yet. No idea when my turn will come either. 4 months of wait after the interview. I hope nobody would do the mistake like you and I did in Georgia. Actually...

Am into 95 days with NO Oath Ceremony. Can I sue? It is not that I am NOT recommended for approval. I am. But, due to the namechange backlog in Atlanta, it seems like it will take several more months to get the Oath. Will cases that wait for Oath can sue USCIS after the mandatory 120-max...

I went to ADO on Infopass visit. I said I am waiting for Judicial oath for 95 days now. Officer said that is "too early". It seems like it will take at least few more months. I am not sure if suing USCIS is an option beyond 120 days for Oath related delays as well.

Did anybody in Atlanta receive Oath letter for February 11, 2011 ceremony? Hello?????
