My Impatience seems to grow by the hour.

How long does Norfolk normally take to go from recommended for approval at interview to Oath ceremony letter mailed?

It is this uncertainty period that is the irritant, waiting for online status to change.

Thank you, goodnight and may your gods go with you",

Do you know I have completely focused on going forward I have not really been keeping record of what has passed.

Luckily others have been keeping record for me. I have taken this from the N-400 April 2015 Filers thread.
