Had my interview 2 weeks ago and they could not make a decision yet. I was told that I would receive a letter in the mail within 2-3 weeks. Its been 2 weeks and no letter yet. How long does it normally take to get a response. Thx
 
Heres the details. I copy pasted it from another thread ;)

I had my interview 2 days ago and there were a few issues during it.
1. I don't work since my family is here, are well off and pick up all the bills. She asked me about this
2. This year I had to travel 3-4 times including once after I filed my 400 mainly due to someone being terminally ill.I was asked to sign a statement about my travel and make a statement that these were all the trips I ever made since 99.
3. There was an issue with my name as the USCIS misspelled it on my GC when it was issued 12 years ago. I was told to recitify it during citizenship as it would be easier. The officer corrected this and photocopied several of my documents incl my BC, SSEC, State ID.

This is what I received in the N-652. Is it advisable to travel while this is being processed or should I just put that on hold. Have others had similar problems? Is this a hold up because of the above issues or is it something more serious?
Also how long do they take to get back to me usually. The officer said a 2-3 weeks.

Each case is different. Some people get a decision in two days, others are pending for months. However, by law they have to make a decision within 120 days after the interview, and if they don't you can sue them.

In your case, they said 2-3 weeks, so wait 3 weeks before you get concerned.
 
I don't see any problem with your case at first glance. There is no rule that says you got to keep working to get citizenship approved. As for travel, there is no bar on travelling outside. So, wait for couple of more weeks before you start worrying.
 
I think things just got a little complicated for a lucky guy. :))
as far as I can guess, you will be approved soon.
 
Provided the 3 or 4 back to back trips you made are not for significant durations I do not see any issues? Have a little patience and wait for USCIS as it has only been a couple of weeks.:)

Doesn't USCIS have uptil 120 days to make a decision? If you call Customer Service, they might quote "90 days". If you've watched posts on this forum, most people have heard in 1~2 months' time...
