Naturalization Initial Interview

Priority Date - October 25, 2007
Notice Date - February 12, 2008
Interview Date - May 8, 2008

Both our interviewing officers were very pleasant and the interview went surprisingly very easy than expected, not a long wait also in the hallway to get our names called. The interviewing officers told both of us when we walked out of the room, to expect oath ceremony notice in 2 to 4 weeks. It will be 4 weeks tomorrow and still nothing in the mail.

Any ideas what might be causing the delay or what I should do other than wait and wait......

Anyways, I will update this thread as and when there is more development. I hope this information helps others in similar situation.

Good luck guys and Thank you to all the people that maintain/monitor this web site for so many years.

The wait depends on DO and number of applicants. A wait upto 3 months for an oath date is quite common in most places.
 
samrat,
it looks like Chicago DO is slowing down for Oath Letter stage. Beside you I see more and more applicants from this year and last year claiming they haven't got OL yet even though the Interview has been passed and well over 4 weeks.
I wonder what's going on ... are they really fully-booked (the courts) ...
 
In Kansas City I had to wait nearly 4 months for the Oath letter after an "recommended for approval" interview. It seems the July 07 applicant bulge is now hitting the Oath scheduling.
 
thanks, looks like its more waiting

Thanks for the responses. Not sure whats going on in Chicago office, but have some other friends that got their oath notices within a month just earlier this year and as recently as March.

We will just have to wait.....
 
still no Oath notice

Hi Smee,
Did you take the interview from Chicago office? Great to hear that you have received the Oat notice. We (both me and my wife) still have not received the oath notice. We both interviewed on 8th May in Chicago. I called 800 number with my LIN number and my wife's LIN number, and I get a recorded message that there is no information about the case.

who can I contact to or what numbers can I call to find out the status of our oath notice. Can one of you please let me know.

Thank you.

when I go online to check the status, I get the following for my Application number (LIN number).

hi Famy122
Thank you. I got infopass printed for me and my wife. so lets see if we get our oat notices before this date, if not we will find out from the immigration officer.

when did you pass your interview in Chicago and what did they tell you about Oath notice. Its strange, we were told that it takes 2 to 4 weeks to receive the notice. But someone here said it can take upto 3 months also. Most of my friends in my circle in Chicago, got their Oath notices in under a month actually weeks.

Anyway, what do you mean by "waiting for my oath I S A COM.INSOON IN MY AND YOUR ROUTE THIS WEEK".

thank you
samrat.
 
anyone has received Oath notice in Chicago office recently? I am just trying to find out when was the interview date. I have been waiting for over 5 weeks now, so curious as to what other people in Chicago area are at, who passed the interview in the 1st week of May.

thank you.
