I got the "Congratulation & Recommended for approval" letter around 100 days ago in San Jose and no oath letter yet.

Hi

If you didn't get your oath letter or a decision after 120 days, you should send a certified letter to the uscis (return receipt prefered) inquiring about the case. If the uscis did not make a decision, it is witten your right to persue a court a petition.

These are some of the links that you might need to research..

I called 800- and was able to speak with IO she told me that my case has not been approved yet and I will be sworn in some where next year :D. the whole process is getting uglier every single day. I'll wait 30 more days and then take actions agian USCIS i'm so tired of waiting :confused:

williamvo1,

I'm kind of in the same situation. My interview was done Oct 2 with "Decision can not be made", and since then have re-sent some additional documents. 60 days have passed today and haven't heard anything since.

Have u tried sending a letter to the officer who interviewed you.. may be all s/he needs is a reminder. U know they are like little children. They get confused easily, and forget frequently. :D

Shouldn't the 2nd INFO PASS wake him up?? I am sure he is watching I coming in for INFO PASS on his system or something...
 
I doubt that Aero... they are not that organized... Has this been the case, people would not have got their cases closed, just because they changed their address and CIS could not update their address in its system...

CIS require us to chase them down, or accept their failed system and live with it.. any fault on their part is made to look like our fault.

I am one of those who got stuck in the name check process for quite a while. My PD was in May 2007, and after over 17 months of waiting (and several inquiries), I finally got my second FP notice in October. After that, I quickly got my IL and was interviewed on December 2. The interview lasted 10 minutes, and the IO did not ask for any documents other than my GC and current passport. He was professional and courteous. I answered all the questions correctly. My record is clean, so I did not need to produce any court documents. At the end of the interview, he checked the option on form N-652 indicating that I passed the English and U.S. history and government tests as well as the option that a decision cannot yet be made. He made a point of explaining to me that he chose the "decision cannot be made" option only because I had to go through a judicial oath ceremony. He said that I should expect to get an oath letter in less than a month.

Now, I wonder why he didn't check the option marked "Congratulations! You application has been recommended for approval," if he kept reassuring me that the pending decision on my application had to do with the judicial oath ceremony. Does anyone have any insights? Am I being worried for no reason? Are the "decision cannot be made" option and the "recommended for approval" option basically the same, with no signficant or material differences?

Sounds like you had a junior IO who had no authority to approve applications. Unless you are interviewed by a senior IO, your application would have to undergo an additional review. Only then would it be granted. Oaths, judicial or administrative, have nothing to do with not being able to make a decision. Your IO was clueless, that's all.
 
Thanks, Vorpal.

Are you saying that my application is subject to review by a senior officer? Is this cause for concern?

A review by a senior officer is standard procedure. In fact, most applications require a secondary review before they are approved and an oath is scheduled. If you have no glitches in your case (i.e., arrests, convictions, et al), you have nothing to worry about.

I agree with you AA. I am preparing a letter but generally, what should I state the letter? If ask him the status, he may ignore it, is there a way to get him to repond back?
 
Aero....

I do not think asking for a response will be useful.. Just tell him that u have been waiting for a while, and will appreciate his help to speed up the oath letter.
 
RE: Sample Letter to USCIS

A very formal and respectful letter will do such as:


USCIS
Address
City, Zip Code


Dear Officer XXX,


I have noticed that some time has passed after my initial interview took place and no response in writing has been received.

Any information in this regard should be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,


Name
Address
City, Zip Code
A# XXX-XXX-XXX

williamvo,

I'm not sure that you want your entire address and name/phone/email available on a message board like this. I would edit your post and put random info there.
