What to do when Nothing happens after interview & with recommended approval

[citizenship1 1]

It has been 41 days exactly already not counting today since the applicant passed the interview with recommended approval in Chicago office. The online status is outdated and the customer care agents just tells to wait! Hasn't received any email yet other than the one in early august that says the application received!

We have international trip in March and we have been unable to plan accordingly because the applicant doesn't have any passport or travel documents yet.

This is a headache for us!

Should the applicant ask for US senator's office help in this matter?

Any advise?

Thanks

I believe you will have to wait 120 days before they will do anything... Fingers crossed you will get the oath letter soon. She / He can still travel with her Green Card and Passport from her original country. Hope this helps!

There is no set amount of time from approval to oath taking. Several factors will determine how long it will take, including how many oath-taking ceremonies are scheduled each month, when they are scheduled, capacity of the venue, and how many other approvals are ahead of you waiting for their oath taking.

I understand the max time line of 120 or 45 days or whatever they have to say but it normally doesn't take more than few weeks for most applicants to get oath letter or the status changed toplaced in line for oath after interview. So I think it is taking bit longer here .

I will do infopass and whatever I have to do to get a decision

INFO PASS!! Hmmm.... not the best way but you may tell them about your situation. Saying you are going on a trip and not sure when the Oath ceremony is going to take place. If it is in the middle of your trip?? ask them what is to be done? Hope it helps

JUst to give you better info here

Went for infopass yesterday, the lady eating chips at the window said you have to wait 120 days. Checked on her screen and told us it is still pending meaning supervisor hasn't touched the file. we told her based on advice from some attorneys, I think my case has now been 46 days and its taking bit longer and have urgent travel coming up. She took the infopass form we filled out and assured us she will leave it on the desk of the interview officer's supervisor. Told us the interviewing officer is a nice lady. Wish the sueprvisor was nice too!

It has now been 47 days no change what so ever after recommended approval by the interviewing officer

Or the online status still says on NOV 5 we scheduled you for interview".

I wonder if the supervisor was out of the city since mid DEC until end of Jan? Or the file is left somewhere where supervisor could not see? Or the supervisor looked at it and still doing review?

COuld be any thing right?

You travel with your green card, no sweat.

the only place whre you can travel with GC is within USA flight by land or Canada or mexico by land.

GC can not be used to travel internationally else where because it is not a passport or travel document.

you can't travel internationally to asia, europe with GC. you need PP or any valid TD
