Philadelphia PA - N-400 Timeline

Oath Day in Philly DO

Does any one know when does Philly DO have Oaths? Are they only on specific days?

Thanks,
Akapoor
 
Thank you for the information. I will try my luck this afternoon.

At the same time, also mailing out my wom civil lawsuit to the district court this afternoon;) Really start to giving up hope of things moving by themselves with fbi and uscis.

It depends on who you talk to. The rep who picks up the phone initially has the same level of access to information as we do, in that sense the info online is "up-to-date"; however, if you can convince him/her to transfer you to an IO, you may receive some real updates.

The online status system is a joke. The entry is not created automatically when the cases are received but rather created manually (and thus often showing the wrong priority dates), nor is it always updated when actions have been taken on a case, as many applicants still find their case status showing "pending" long after they have become citizens.
 
Akapoor,

according to my findings i believe the Philly DO only has oaths on Wednesday mornings. 2 sessions to be exact. There might be a 3rd but i'm not exactly sure. But 2 for sure, every wednesday.
 
Thanks for letting me know the Oath dates. Btw, I did not my IL in the post today. :(

Hopefully I shd get it by trrow.

Thanks,
Akapoor
 
Called USCIS yesterday and asked to speak to an IO to check the "real" status. The customer service representative refused and said long processing delay is not a valid reason to connect to IO!$#!%@

Anyway, giving up on these people. Just mailed out my lawsuit papers to the local district office. Hopefully, this will have some effect.

Has anyone in Philadelphia area filed wom suit before? How does it go?

Thanks.
 
I did at first. and she just said it's pending and she noticed that I have inquired about the status about 2 months ago and they replied already. Maybe it's just the person I talked to. trying multiple times may get me through. But as I said, I've had it with them and do think the law suit is the only way left now.
 
This is not the correct way, but try with giving wrong receipt number, so that at least they will connect you to IO. I am sorry to give u suggestion which is incorrect, but I do understand your frustration. Try calling them in the afternoon, I think they are less busy around that time....

Good luck.

Hello, I had my interview in Philly Callowhill on March 12th and still waiting for oath ceremony letter. I have a name change and hence it will be in the District Court in Philly, its been more than 2 months since and I am starting to get worried.

USCIS has up to 120 days after interview to send you oath letter ..don't worry you'll get it soon.
 
I just found out that there is an oath at the Univ. of Delaware, Newark on June 5th. So those that are waiting for an oath letter hopefully you will be receiving it sometime this week. I also hope my dad gets his letter as everyone is getting impatient. I know of one person that already got there letter on tuesday, maybe because of the holiday some people's mail got tied up and should be receiving it today or tomorrow.
