Name change during N400 and subsequent delay in Oath

Was it over 45 days? Congrats by the way!
Hi Schynam,
Did you get your oath letter yet ? I did not get it and talked to uscis officer and I was told, i will be getting the oath notice for next available oath ceremony and mostly it will be in court at Fortworth.

Not yet! Was told I should get it within 45 days starting from Feb 8.
 
hi,

just to share with you - I requested name change during interview on 4/1/2013 and today (4/5/2013) I received notification that the oath ceremony has been scheduled.

I guess it depends on the volume of cases handled by each DO and the availability of judicial court for oath ceremony for new citizens requesting name change.

By the way, I am from LA DO where the judges will preside over the oath ceremony.

"On April 5, 2013, we scheduled you for your oath ceremony and sent a notice providing the date, time, and location. If you move prior to the scheduled ceremony, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283."

Good luck!

hi,

Has it been over 120 days since your last interview and you have not received the news? If you look at the bottom of N-652-Naturalization Interview Results, it stated that "USCIS has 120 days from the date of the initial naturalization interview to issue a decision. If the decision is not issued within 120 days of the interview, an applicant may request judicial review of his or her application in district court. The officer must base his or her decision on the laws, regulations, precedent decisions, and governing policies."

You should write to the IO explaining the clause and attached a copy of N-652.

I advise you to seek help from your state US Senator ASAP. The US Senator can help you to enquire on the status of your case. You can google around to search for such discussion.

May you get your oath letter soon.

I think that 120 days is not applicable in my case as it was approved on the same day as interview and after a month or so they put me on Oath ceremony queue. Which means they have made decision and waiting on a queue for oath ceremony.

Won't apply here. Favorable decision already made. Just for them to schedule oath. We are still eagerly waiting.
 
None. They can't let me withdraw the name change request and they are not sure when the oath will be. At least they let me know the delay is from the court.

:confused:
I thought if a case is put on the Oath queue means..court has approved and waiting for oath date..
