Oath letter and status

This exactly sounds like my case, had interview on 06/16, status still at interview and no oath letter yet.
Very frustrating!

Hi Sharef, I am in the same boat, can you give more detalis please. Here is mine:
I had my N400 interview on June/13/2011 in NC.I passed the test, but the I.O said he needs to have a supervisior look at it,so I got N652:Decision cannot be made at this time!
Its almost 8 weeks now, and the online status is"UNDER SUPERVISIOR REVIEW". I called USCIS,they told me to call them back once its been 90 days after the interview!, they also told me that USCIS have 120 days after the interview to render a decision.
My N400 is based on a 3 years marriage to a US citizen,I had my driver license suspended in 1989, and in 1994"17 and 22 years ago". All were taken care off,provided court record at the green card interview, and sent the same with my N400 application On Feb/2011.The officer did did not ask for any evidence relating to this or any other like tax, proof of marriage/all were sent at the application.
I have been checking cases similar on the web here is what I got:
1.MAKE AN INFO PASS AFTER 90 DAYS.
2. ANY TIME YOU HAVE AN ARREST OR RECORD, CASE WILL MOST LIKELY BE REVIEWED BY A SUPERVISIOR.
3. USCIS HAVE 120 DAYS TO DECIDE,AFTER 120 DAYS YOU CAN FILE FORM DHS-7001/OMBUDSMAN CASE PROBLEM SUBMISSION.
4.YOU CAN CONTACT YOUR SENATOR.
5.FILE A WRIT OF MANDAMUS AT THE COURT"DO IT YOURSELF BECAUSE LAWYERS CHARGE BETWEEN $1500-2500.

AND AT THE GREEN CARD INTERVIEW I SHOWED THE I.O MY COMPLIANCE.
AT MY N400 INTERVIEW I SENT SAME DOCUMENTS ALONG WITH APPLICATION
BEFORE THE INTERVIEW" WAS NOT ASKED BY I.O AT INTERVIEW"
AT MY GREEN CARD INTERVIW THE OFFICER SAID HE CAN NOT MAKE A
DECISION ON MY CASE BECAUSE SECURITY CHECK WAS PENDING.THREE

Hi NickD
Thank you for your reply,At the interview the I.O did not issue N-14"RFE".
All I can do is wait till 90 days, and call USCIS to inquire,If that will not yield any result
then I will wait till Its 120 days to :1.Fill DHS FORM 7001<OMBUDSMAN CASE PROBLEM SUBMISSION>.
2.Contact my state senator.
3.Do an INFO PASS at my local USCIS office.
If none of the above will work, then I fill a WRIT OF MANDAMUS
at the local US Federal Court by myself,because an attorney
will charge an average of $1500-$2500 :bonk:

Finally, the Oath Ceremony Letter!

OHMS.... I derived that equation for EM Radiation (in you avatar icon) as an undergrad in Optics. I made a shirt that said exactly that but never printed it.

Thats Wonderful, those are the work of the great Scotich physicist James Maxwell.
Those concise and elegant equations contain the basic fundamentals in the study of electricity
and magnatism expressed in vector calculus and differential operators. The great Einstein himself
was quaoted " the great theory of relativity would not have been possible without Maxwells equations"
May the net force be with you, and beware of quantam ducks Quark! Quark!

Recall your decision cannot be made at this time for something minor. So finally a decision could be made, 73 days later. Did anything change? Did you have to provide more evidence?

Hi NickD,
At the interview the I.O did not ask for any further evidence/ even though
I brought a suitecase full of everything that they might ask for!
I asked the I.O if he needed any further evidence,but he said "NO"
The interviewing officer was a young new officer.At the end of the interview
N-652= Decision can not be made/will be refered to supervisior for futher review.
Around 60 days after the interview I called USCIS and asked them to send
an e-request to my local USCIS office "Charlotte". A week after that Charlotte
USCIS sent me a generic computer print out =CASE UNDER SUPERVISIOR REVIEW.
On August/25/2011,around 5:15pm, online status changed to" Suervisior Review Completed"
At that time I was anxious, and at 5:30pm I called USCIS 800#, talked to a second
level officer, and I was pleased to find out that the supervisior approved my case on
August/25/2011, and I will be placed on oath que :dance:

I have a feeling that my e-request helped push my application forward even though the response recieved from local office was rather vague!
Right now my online staus is still sitting at " Supervisior Review Completed",
and I am expecting that to change " On Que For Oath"
I do not want to be cynical, but I will breath a sigh of relief when I will actually
recieve the oath letter via snail mail...

3 MONTHS PASSED Since I received Yellow Letter!

Hello Friends at Forum:
This is my first post at this forum. I applied for Citizenship (N 400) on the basis of my US Citizen Wife. After the fingerprints I had received a Yellow Letter. Now Three months have passed since I received the yellow letter and I have NOT yet received the Interview Letter.
Yellow letter only asked me to bring the Sate Issued Photo ID and the online case status shows that Since July first week my cae is in line for the interview.
I am very worried right now. Can anybody shed some light on it. Is there anybody else in this boat or I am the only one.
Any Sincere feedback/advice/information will be highly appreciated.
Thanksssssss

Hello And Welcome,
I would make an info pass at your local USCIS office to speak to an officer in person
,and would call
USCIS @(800)375-5283 to inquire about the status of your interview.
Best of luck.

Oath Letter Picked Up at Info-Pass

I have been put on Oath Scheduling queue since Sep/02/2011, I scheduled an Info-Pass
at the Charlotte USCIS to inquire about my oath letter. I went to the Info-Pass today.
The officer checks his PC, and goes in the back after asking me to have a seat. After 5 minutes
he comes back and asks me if "I will be available next Thursday, Oct/20/2011"

I, said " SURE" :dance:

, and he hands me N-445 "Notice of Naturalization Oath Ceremony"

N 400 February Fillers

Woohoo! I'm officially a USC! About darn time and a nice present for the 7th wedding anniversary (coming in October).

Thanks for your support, guys!

The ceremony was nice. I got there about 12.30, an officer started explaining rules and checking if everyone had the letters filled out and green cards ready about 12.50. They started calling names at 1.10, and the actual ceremony began at 1.45. We were done by 2.15. I waited in line to update my SS status. Keeping my old card:) The election people were not there, so I'm gonna have to go and register at the election board. Didn't have time to file for the passports. Didn't get to take a picture with the judge, he left while I was dealing with SSA. Oh well.
There was about 45 new citizens there. They did not call out the countries, so i have no idea how many people were from a certain place. Definitely most were Latin American, at least half a dozen was named Martinez (not related). I think I saw two more former-USSR people, not sure if they were from Russia.

My two older sons also became citizens, a year to the day after getting their green cards.

Anyway, I'm very happy. Probably excited, too, but too tired to feel it
Oh, and a fun fact. I was the only person among the new citizens who new the author of the Star-Spangled Banner

Update me, please!

CONGRATS I AM HAPPY FOR YOU AND FOR YOUR FAMILY

Letter to IO after citizenship interview

It has been 90+ days since my interview in the St Paul office, which I passed, and still no word from USCIS. I tried contacting the Senators for more info and I still heard nothing back. Is it worth writing a letter to the IO who conducted the interview? Apparently (according to the customer service line) I have to wait for 120 days before a service request can be made! I am frustrated and confused!

Hello Sherifeg,
My N-400 application was under supervisior review for about 73 days!
I had my interview on June/13/2011, in Charlotte,NC. The interviewing officer could not make a decision,
and refered it to a supervisior. On August /25/2011. my online status have changed to "Supervisior Review Completed"
On the same day I called USCIS 800#, and was informed that the supervisior approved my case on Aug/25/2011.
On Sep/02/2011, my online status have changed to" On Oath Scheduling Queue".
During that time span I made an e-request {found at the USCIS website},
I, also called USCIS 800#, and spoke to a second tier officer, and asked him to a send a
inquiry to Charlotte USCIS offfice. A week after that i got a generic pc printed letter from
Charlotte USCIS with the same message " CASE UNDERR SUP REVIEW", but a week
after that letter my online status changed to "SUP REVIEW COMPLETED"
I had a feeling the above steps helped accelerate my static case!
I know exactly how you feel, the waiting puts a heavy toll on you :crying:

At the end I am sure you will get a closure with a happy end :yes:

Really there are so many variables that can put a constraint on any application,
such as the USCIS office location, the number of application handeled, the
efficiency of that office<different offices have different operating procedures>
Keep your chin up, and I hope you will hear something soon.

go to the oath ceremony with a printout of the original N-445?

Hi,

I wonder if i can go to the oath ceremony with a printout of form N-445.For some reason I don't have the original letter but a scan of it.Will i be accepted in the oath ceremony or not?

thanks for any insight

I would call USCIS 800# tomorrow because federal offices are closed on Columbus day, and ask for a resolution.
