Take heart my friends in Philadelphia. I just received the oath letter for a naturalization ceremony on July 20, 2006 to be held in Philly CIS!My timeline is as follows:
PD: 3/6/06
FP: 3/25/06
ID: 6/9/06
Oath letter dated: 6/20/06
Oath Ceremony: 7/20/06
I must say that my experience with the Philly USCIS was extremely pleasant, and the timeline is positively superfast.I want to thank the Philly staff esp. my interviewing officer, Ms. S.B. (a very pleasant, professional Indian lady officer) for their role in keeping the Philly office reputation high and flying!
I want to tell all the other Philly applicants to keep their chin's up, and you will also get your citizenship soon.
Best of luck to everybody on this board, and I will update about my Philly Oath experience.
