did we waive that 120 day law when we signed papers during the interview, without knowing it?
BCIS examiners are required to make a decision concerning your naturalization within 120 days after your interview, or the examiner may ask you to sign a waiver of this requirement. Most will. If you application is denied, you may appeal to another BCIS examiner within the same district office. The new BCIS examiner will have 180 days from the date of the filing of your appeal to make a decision. If you application is again denied, or if there is no decision within the 180 days, you may seek review of the examiner’s decision in U.S. district court where you live. You may also seek review in federal court if you did not waive the 120-day rule, and BCIS does not make a decision within 120 days.
