I FINALLY received my oath letter about three weeks ago. I took the oath on Friday, August 15th, at 12:00 p.m., in Hammond Indiana. The following day, Saturday, August 16th, I received another oath letter, directing me to take the oath on Friday, August 15th, 12:00 p.m., in Chicago.

I went ahead and called again. This time they gave me a reference number and told me that I'd receive something by mail within 30 to 60 days letting me know exactly what the hold up is. That's pretty much what they told me when I called in May (and I never received anything by mail), but at...

Today is exactly 196 days since the interview. I called and was told that everything is all set except a date for the oath, I'm just in the queue and have to wait my turn. Problem is, I know of someone who lives nearby who had their interview after mine and only had to wait a few weeks before...

I took my test in December of 2007, passed, and am still waiting for the oath letter, so the 120 day wait is not at all set in stone.

Thank you very much!

I took my citizenship test in Chicago on December 19, 2007 and passed. I was told it'd be eight weeks before I'd get the oath letter. It's coming up on May, and still I haven't heard a word (we're now past the 120 mark). I know I could apply for an infopass, but that would require me to take...

Sashko, I called, but was sent to voice mail so I left a message. I called once before and was told that they don't have a set schedule, that they just schedule one when they get enough people. It'll be interesting to hear if I get a different answer this time. Sashko, I sent you a private...

I'll call first thing in the morning. Thanks!

One of the reasons I'm going a bit crazy is because I too would like to be able to travel. I would like to go to Italy to visit family members for an important occasion that is coming up in the next couple of months. I completely understand why people are feeling edgy due to the fact that...

I took the test in Chicago, but I live in Northwest Indiana and was told that the local federal courthouse has oath ceremonies, so I may be taking the oath there as opposed to taking the oath in Chicago. Edited to add: 120 days from the date of the test would be April 17th, so that makes me...

Took the test and passed in mid December. Was told it'd be within eight weeks that I'd receive the OL. No OL yet. I've decided to not panic until April, but at what point would it be expected that I should start contacting the folks at immigration and ask what is going on? While I'm not yet...

Oh Sashko, you really brightened my mood. After all, March is just around the corner! I must ask...did you do anything or are you planning on doing anything to celebrate? Assuming I take the oath before July 4th, we're going to have a big citizenship party on the fourth of July. It just...

Congratulations! I am waiting for my oath letter. On pins and needles. It's been eight weeks +, and this waiting is pretty difficult. It does feel good that others are receiving their oath letters though!

Thanks Sashko! Are you in NW Indiana? Is your oath ceremony going to be in Hammond? We're really hoping for Hammond, and don't mind the wait so much other than being nervous that the letter was lost in the mail. Yesterday was that magical eight week mark that the IO said we'd get that oath...

Thank you Ladybuggy. I know that everyone has a different experience, especially if the area is different. I wish there were more uniformity in how all things immigration were handled. I wish I knew others who live in my area and are or have gone through a similar experience. Although it...

I am a resident of northwest Indiana. I passed my citizenship test December 19, 2007 in Chicago. They said I'd get the oath letter within eight weeks. I haven't yet received it, but it's closing in on eight weeks now and I'm getting just a little worried. What I'd like to know is if anyone...
