I applied for naturalization in May 2009 based on marriage to a US Citizen (after 2 years and 9 months) and had my interview yesterday, July 22 in Fairfax, VA. It went great, I passed it, then at the end the officer tells me: "Well, your file was processed very fast and your interview was scheduled too early, you passed but I can't approve you until your 3-year anniversary (which will be August 5) so you can't take the oath today. I'll stamp your file as approved on August 5, and then we'll send you a letter for the oath ceremony."
Has anyone here had a similar experience? If so, how long did you have to wait before you got the invitation for the oath ceremony?
I've read a number of horror stories about people having to wait months and months when they didn't take the oath the same day as the interview, so I'm somewhat worried.
Thanks.
