hey people ... just another word of advice; in a previous post, i mentioned that if you're waiting on an oath ceremony letter, you should follow up with them, but it's probably in your best interest if you're waiting on any letter to call USCIS every week just to make sure you're privy of any...

hey all... well, it's done for me too ... got sworn in as a US citizen this past Thursday, November 2nd, with a priority date of May 26. 5 months and a week, with a substantial delay between interview and oath ceremony (nearly 2 months). The impatience was agonizing, but technically, everything...

hey all ... rakish ... congrats bro ... you're all good now ... looking forward to joining you in a few hours now ... R V i'll hopefully find you in the crowd ... i'll be wearing a light blue button shirt with a blue/dark blue/white tie and dark gray pants .... regardless if i meet you or not...

Hey R V .... a'ight, as of yet, I still haven't received my oath letter for tomorrow (thursday) but I spoke with USCIS at their 800 number yesterday and the officer on the phone indicated that it would NOT be a problem to go without that letter. My ceremony's for 12, so I'm gonna go there...

Hi again R V.. A'ight, i did some googling, and based on what I've read, here's what I'm going to do IF I haven't received the oath letter before Thursday. Not certain it's going to work but it's better than nothing. I will still be calling USCIS tomorrow to see what they recommend...

Funny that you should mention this, because I logged onto the forum to explicitly ask the same thing. I have not received my oath letter as yet neither. When I spoke with them last week they said it was mailed on Tuesday. If I still don't have it by tomorrow I'll call them back and post back...

Hello ... the FBI's # is 304-625-5590. But, before you call, from all the info I've gathered from the forum, you would not have even had an interview till your background check was passed, UNLESS you submitted additional evidence (original) in your interview. The FBI does the fingerprint check...

FINALLY! Just talked to USCIS and I'm scheduled for an oath ceremony on November 2 on 219 S Dearborn. I am soooooooooooooo relieved, finally. For those who have done their ceremonies, how long do they normally take? I'm pretty sure I have an afternoon appointment, and I'm thinking of taking...

hey rakish ... thanks for your words man ... i, too, was looking forward to meeting up with you and having someone to drink with. now i'll just be another solo drunk :) good luck with everything man ... i'll keep ya posted.

Hey Rakish ... damn you too man ... another person I'm now officially jealous of. I called USCIS yesterday after reading your post and told them "I have an acquaintance who interviewed on the same day and just now is scheduled for an oath ceremony, so I'm wondering if I'm also in that batch." As...

Hmmm ... I'm interested. Do you know of anyone who's gone through the Senator? If so, how exactly would I go about it? thanks.

This is becoming so ridiculously drawn out. I interviewed a week after you and I'm in the same position. What still really pisses me off is how they are still processing people from August when those that interviewed even in October have already received their oath letters and/or have taken...

The USCIS website posted the newest processing dates. For Chicago, as of October 12, they're "officially" processing applications from March 15. Is it just me or is that schedule they put up completely off and useless? Here's the link for that...

USCIC National # 1-800-375-5283. You have to sit through a wait (approximately 25 minutes when I called) so a headset or speakerphone would be ideal. Make sure you have your application number handy and I think they may ask for your Alien number as well (can't remember). Based on suggestions...

So I spoke with an immigration officer again today by calling the 1-800 number. I had a successful interview on Sept. 6 and have been waiting since for my oath letter. Earlier this week I had scheduled an infopass appointment for the 24th of this month and I called the national number to see...

no doubt man ... i'll drink to that.

You're right ... I would love to see the letter waiting for me on Tuesday morning (we can discount Monday as it's an "official" holiday). And it is certainly more bearable considering I'm not the only one in this situation. Every time I read that yet another person has already received their...

RakishS ... it's a good thing you asked them, at least that helps to clear something up. Now, see if you agree with me on this: It took USCIS 1 month from the time I fingerprinted to the time they sent out the interview letter. Is that the month that covers the name check? Because i'm...

that may be right ... i called up the 1-800 today and waited through the hold time of 20-30 minutes just to speak to an immigration officer. my application had moved pretty quickly until this stage. basic timeline is as follows: submitted app around may 25 june 6 received letter for...

same here man. i'm gonna schedule an appointment right now actually ... this is F$#!ing B.s. can't even call em cuz there customer service reps are as useless as a hole in the wall.
