I had my interview on Tuesday and I’m a bit upset, to be honest.
Everything went well overall, I passed the testing portion, we documented my intended name change, went through the entire application.
Towards the end, the officer suddenly told me that I didn’t have a current photo on file,
mind you, I had done biometrics last year for my greencard renewal and had the letter stating that I didn’t need biometrics done.
She agreed, but nevertheless, no photo.
She told me to go get that done right after we were done, she’d then recommend my file for approval and we could schedule the oath ceremony then.
I asked how long she thinks this may take and she said 3-6 months!
Like, whaaat???
We are moving out of state (and possible overseas) over the summer, so I’ll also need my passport asap.
she told me to wait for a letter that says I’m approved and to then email them and they’ll schedule me asap.
It just so happens that my husband (retiring out of the military next month) got a job offer overseas and they want him to start asap.
Now I wonder how long I should wait or if I should just email soon and ask to help me out with the scheduling.
I don’t understand what would take that long, uploading that photo or the name change?
Typically, their office does oath ceremony the same day as interview.
What do you guys think?
