Anyone got oath letter lately (after 12/1/02)? There is a delay due to second security checkup. Some oath ceremony was even descheduled. How long will this delay take? Please tell us what you know. Thx
4 months for the interview! Amazing It took me 13 months for the interview, and 10 months and still waiting for the oath since the interview . new orleans Louisiana seems to take for ever for the Oath.
I was originally scheduled for an oath ceremony on 12/13/02.
Received notification that that ceremony was cancelled.
I read about additional security checks relating to this in the New York Times.
My new oath ceremony date is 1/10/03. (Hope they dont cancel this one).
If not - I am done & thank all who contribute to these postings.
p. s. BTW, I filed my N-400 90 days before my 5 yrs residence anniversary (I arrived at the State on Nov. 29, 1997).
There was no question regarding the filing time.
Congrats, Jennie! You are indeed the luckiest one of all, go buy a lottery ticket while you are on a roll
For those of us who've been descheduled and still waiting: I have not received a new oath letter yet, but got this note from my lawyer on 1/9/03:
"I-485 and N-400 processing Delays - As you know there has been a hold on the final adjudication of these cases due to FBI clearance procedures since November. INS reported that as of yesterday they are now able to adjudicate cases at the interview. They also estimate that they will be able to get to all pending cases by the end of February (and anticipate less than 1% of them will have any problems). They will be processing the Naturalization approvals first."
That's from the Seattle DO. Looks like things are finally starting to move here, keeping my fingers crossed. Been waiting for my oath for almost two years now, and REALLY hope the end is in sight.
Good luck to all
