WOW Ladybuggy whenever I see your timeline I am in awe. Did you get stuck in a namecheck? Are you a military spouse too? My husband is active duty US citizen. I thought I saw you mention somewhere that you were a military spouse too, but maybe I am mistaken. In any case good luck and I hope your CS comes through very soon! :)
 
I was for a while yes. Now I think I am stuck in the Backlog for Oath like many others. Yes I am a Military Wife and my husband is deployed. If he wouldn't be there would be a big problem because we would be moving and my case would of been transfered so I am hoping I get this done before he comes home.

From one military wife to another. Bless you and Godspeed. Not too speedy in your case I know. I understand your troubles. We were stationed overseas for 6 years, and due to frequent deployments I did not file for expedited citizenship even though I technically could have at the time. But hey someone's gotta hold down the fort and take care of the kids while the guys are gone, right;). I did not have the luxury to just hop on a plane whenever they thought I was supposed to have the oath. Life in the military just does not work like that. Not to mention I still would have had to pay my own travel expenses for myself and our child to come along. And flying from Europe to the US and back is not exactly cheap these days. Considering how much we have sacrificed in the recent past and still continue to do so, especially in your case with your husband currently deployed, one would think they could make the process somewhat smoother for military spouses :(
 
Timeline for myself and my spouse for Nebraska Service Center and Kansas City. Apparently it is unusual for both spouses to have an identical timeline and be present at the same interview. We applied just before the fee increase so that might account for the extra delay in the background check. We completed our own applications, but did get some legal advice from a lawyer first.

Application posted: 7/13/2007
Application received by USCIS: 7/16/2007
Priority date: 7/16/2007
Checks cashed: 7/17/2007
Receipt notice: 7/23/2007
Receipt notice received by us: 7/27/2007
Fingerprint notice: 7/25/2007
Fingerprint notice received by us: 7/30/2007
Fingerprints scheduled: 8/10/2007
Fingerprints taken: 8/10/2007
Name check and background check passed sometime in here
Interview notice: 12/17/2007
Interview notice received by us: 12/21/2007
Interview scheduled: 2/6/2008
Interview taken: 2/6/2008

The interview was short (about 10 minutes), pleasant and stress free. The Officer had the interview letter, and asked for my green card, driver's license, and current passport (I had 17 trips outside USA), and then went over key information in the application plus verified my answers to the yes/no questions. I provided a one page update summarizing changes since the application which the Officer added as an attachment to the application. I was prepared with records of everything, but they were not required. The civics questions were from old test and the English exam was simple. I signed the photos sent in with the application. Note: They recommend you take additional photographs because sometimes the Service Center lose the photographs you sent in with the application, probably easy to do since they are loose and not stapled to the application.

We both passed the interview and our applications are now recommended for approval. We received N-652, Naturalization Interview Results, indicating this. We expect to take the Oath cermony in 2 to 3 months, about March or April. My Officer, when she found out my spouse was being interviewed at the same time, put a note on my file to try and get us to take the Oath cermony together - a nice touch.

As of 2/8/2008 and after a successful interview the online status has not disappeared. So that is not a reliable indicator of anything! It still shows in process.
 
Here is my latest

02-08-08 Rec'd N-445 to appear for Oath on March 3rd 2008 @ 12.00 PM in Topeka, KS :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
 
So 8 weeks after our successful interview and we are still waiting for the Oath ceremony letter. I called the US District Court of Kansas in Kansas City. They schedule one oath ceremony every month, typically on the last Friday of each month although the exact date sometimes varies. Upcoming dates are: April 25th, May 30th, June 27th, July 25th, August 29th. Apparently they have been very busy with over 100 people at each ceremony, so our delay is probably due to scheduling. I'll schedule an INFOPASS at 90 days if I have not heard anything.
 
Once a month? damn..
I wonder if there are other offices that you can request to go to (if they are faster)..
 
There are also a few more for Topeka. If you are from KS you have a good shot at those. They hold Ceremony's for about 80 people and they said on the news after I had mine which was the very first one in Topeka that there will be at least 7 more held there and it was at the US District Court in Topeka
 
It looks like Kansas City DO is in a time warp. The April 15 processing times update shows the office is now completing the June 25, 2007 applications. The March 15 update had them completing the June 30 applications! This is not a good sign, and explains why I'm still waiting for an oath letter.
 
kckfs ...I just read you had your interview a month after I had mine
(01.10.2008). I'm still waiting for my oath letter. After my interview they told me I can expect oath letter in 2-3 months. Its almost 4....today my husband gave me an idea to call Kansas City Court House and then I found your info about ceremonies....please let me know what happens at your INFOPASS...I would do that too, but I have 4 hours driving one way to KC and thats why I'm still sitting here and waiting for this darn letter to show up.

Ouch Lexa007...that is quite a wait. I'll post back here anything I find out, but I'm waiting for 90 days, which is May 6. Since you are 4 hours drive away you could try calling the office and speaking with your interviewing officer. You might be able to get to them via the directory. Or call the national helpline and explain the long driving distance and ask if they can lodge a request for you instead of requiring an INFOPASS. At 4 months you are beyond the 120 days they are meant to take, so a follow up is certainly reasonable.
 
Hi All,

Maybe we should mark somehow who is going through which DO...Kansas City, MO or KS? I' sure this two offices are not working at the same pace.

kckfs...I read through your posts again and my tired eyes noticed today that your talking about US District Court of Kansas...which is not Court house in Kansas City, MO :), right?
 
Sorry guys/gals
I may have misquoted.. my DO is actually Kansas City, MO.. I am not sure if there is a Kansas City, Kansas DO.. I do live on the Kansas side of the state line..
