Even Federal Plaza takes ages though. I live in Queens and was processed through Federal Plaza. As you'll see below, I applied in early October, didn't get an interview letter until end of January for an interview on Feb 25. And then I didn't get my oath letter until April 23. Tomorrow though...

Hi there, Could anyone tell me about how long the oath ceremony at Cadman Plaza is? I have mine at 8:30 next Friday morning and a friend would like to come but she has a meeting later that morning that she wants to know if she needs to cancel. Thanks!

Even if they missed the mail cut off for the week ending on April 9, I should have received it before April 23. If they only mail once a week, it looks to me like they missed the mailing date the following week too, meaning the letter sat on someone's desk for at least 10 days before it was...

thanks for all the kind words!! I completely agree with you--a letter dated April 9 arriving on April 22 is really unacceptable. Especially because I called on April 20 to ask what the status of my application was, and no one would tell me ANYTHING, even though clearly a decision had been...

Don't worry--I had my interview at Federal Plaza on Feb 25 and just got my oath letter today! WOOOHOOOOOO!!!!! I'm so excited to be so close to the end of my immigration journey. Can't wait to have my US passport in hand! My IO said the letter would be mailed to me in 4-6 weeks, and it has...

Hello, I have just (FINALLY) received my oath letter--I am scheduled to take my oath on May 7 at Cadman Plaza in Brooklyn. I have been told that in some cases, naturalization certificates are NOT handed out on the day of the oath, but are mailed out instead. Is this true? If that is the...

Hello, I had my interview on Feb 25, and was recommended for citizenship. I am now awaiting my oath letter. I applied through the NYC District Office and had my interview at Federal Plaza. I am still waiting for the oath letter,--it has been 8 weeks since my interview. My IO told me I could...

I had my interview on Feb 25, 2009. I was recommended for approval, and my IO told me that I should expect to receive my oath letter in the mail within 4-6 weeks. It has now been 8, and still no oath letter. I have called USCIS several times, but no one can give me any information--I was told by...

How did you get to speak to a level 2 officer, and did he/she tell you anything more, other than that you're not scheduled? Could he explain why you aren't scheduled for the oath yet?

Hi,Yes, I'm still waiting for my oath letter. I had my interview on Feb 25, got the paper saying I was approved, etc and was told that I should get the oath letter in the mail in the next 4-6 weeks. Tomorrow it will be 5 weeks. It's weird because some people get their oath letters 2 weeks after...

No, I"m still waiting. :( Did you? Based on indianexperts timeline, I think I'll probably get mine at the beginning of April for an oath around April 20. At least that's what I hope. I have tickets to leave the US on April 27!!

I had my interview at Federal Plaza on Feb 25. I was approved and recommended for citizenship, but the interviewing officer did not give me the option to pick up my oath letter the same day. I asked others in the waiting area, and no one had been given a same-day oath letter, and some had been...

Hi there, I just successfully passed my naturalization interview at Federal Plaza. It was on Thursday, Feb 25 and they were not issuing any same-day oath letters because of the bad snow storm that hit NYC that afternoon. I've looked through this forum, but can't seem to find anyone who did...

I did my interview on 2/25 at Federal Plaza and passed. Many people usually get their oath letters the same day, but due to bad weather they were not issuing same-day letters yesterday. The IO said it would take 4-6 weeks. Is it really that long??

Hi there, Could you let me know what documents I will need to bring to prove that I was a resident in the Garden City DO catchment area for three months prior to my application being submitted and in the months while the application was pending? I live with roommates and am not on the lease...

LUD: Case transferred to local office for interview! I got a text message at 4am this morning saying that my case has been transferred to the local DO and that an interview will be scheduled! YAAAAY!!!!! Now I just have to wait for the interview to be scheduled. About how long between LUD...

Oh that's right... I totally forgot about that requirement. Ok, well thanks so much for reminding me! I guess I just have to wait it out.

Hi there, I have an interesting situation that I'd appreciate some insight on. I am currently residing in New York, and my DO is Garden City which has a processing time of approximately 5 and a half months. I submitted my application on Oct. 13, had my fingerprints done on Nov. 3, and now am...

Is there a way to check on the status of the name check? I have the number for the FBI to check on fingerprints but they wouldn't give me information on the name check...
