I heard from one of my friend that you can schedule a personal oath in any court.. Is that true?

It is true, my wife received oath letter today. The oath ceremony scheduled for 10/30/09 at 1:45 pm. (Masonic Center).

Does anyone have an idea of how long it takes to get a brand new US PP without paying extra for expediting the process? Given the oath is 10/30 and I'm flying out 12/21 and need a visa, I'm trying to figure out my next steps. Additionally if I expedited the process does anyone know its cost and timeframe?
 
Anybody got OL with Interview date: 10/7?

Seems logical that they would bucket all oath ceremonies on the same date for that timeframe. Has anybody received an Oath letter for a 10/7 interview and a decision of "Recommended"?

Hey Wong,

If you are flying on 12/21 you can apply by normal process. I applied expedite and it took only a week, where as a friend of mine applied for his daughter by normal process and it took only 10 days. I felt I wasted extra $ 60 for a difference of 4 days. By any means you should get your PP in three weeks by ordinary process. My suggestion is dont pay extra 60 bucks for expedite. Even if your PP application is under process and if there is an unnexpected situation to travel, you can always make an appointmet with passport agency and get it overnight. By that way the new design of Passport book looks really nice. Enjoy your Oath.
 
Great - thanks for the info SF2009. I will take your advice and go the normal route.

Pat999 I had my interview 10/6 and my oath is 10/30. I suspect you will get your OL shortly with the same oath date - good luck
 
My Dad got an Oath Letter today and Oath is on Oct 30th 1:45 at Masonic Center San Francisco. Interview Date was October 8th...

I had an Interview also on Oct 8th but havent received the Oath Letter... Hope to get it soon early next week..
 
My wife and I both had Citizenship interview on 10/07.
She got the Oath letter (for 10/30 at 1:45pm) on friday. There is still none for me yet.
Hopefully my Oath Ceremony letter comes in a couple of days.

i finished my finger prining on 10/14 and am waiting for Interview Letter

Hi df,

I have not received oath letter as of this weekend,
I called the customer service center, after listening to the paragraphs read
by first level, I requested 2nd level quoting I have urgent travel and need to
know, after 20 min. wait, 2nd level officer came online, took my A# and told
that no oath scheduled. I asked whether any problem there. she told nothing mentioned, it sent for oath scheduling, but did not make it for this one.

My ID was 9/28.
lot of people who did in october also got, but some how I did not get.

I think when scheduling for oath, one officer will start from first FIFO,
and another from bottom LIFO, and those in between are left out for the next oath. trying a theory.

congrats to all who received.
If any one missed please let me know, we are in same boat.

update: received OL today- OD 10/30.
thanks for your wishes.

For others who are still waiting- hope is still there. they are still sending, I think they will send to all whose oath is due.

Hi,Yello

you will get it for 10/30,no worry
