 Share

Recommended Posts

I filed my N-400 Feb. 22, 2018. 

 

I did my biometrics and interview.

 

Feb. 19, 2019, I received a notice for Oath Ceremony that was scheduled for March.

 

Feb. 21, 2019, I received another notice for De-schedule Oath Ceremony. 

 

I waited....months later havent received anything.

 

I called on July for an update, they check the processing time and it was Outside Normal Processing Time. They submitted a service request and I got a letter back from them it says, “ Your application for Naturalization is pending Officer Review. We regret that we are not able to give you a timeframe for when we will complete the review of your application. 

 

What should I do?

Incorrect. By law, USCIS has 120 days after the interview to issue a final decision on naturalization applications. Since that time has passed, OP can (and should):

 

- Write a letter, sent via certified mail, to the case officer/field office asking for a speedy decision;

- Book an infopass appointment to discuss the application in person;

- Ask her/his Congressional rep for case follow-up with USCIS;

- Escalate the matter to the CIS Ombudsman; and

- If all the above fail within a reasonable time, file a 1447(b) petition for a naturalization hearing with the US district court where s/he resides, asking a federal judge to decide the citizenship application, or (more likely) order USCIS to do so in a limited time.

I am not wrong. Your suggestion is what “contact them” means in my post. Nothing can be done personally other than that and wait.

Oh, that's dreadful!  Which office was it at?  I wonder if they had to reschedule a ceremony for some reason, and then haven't scheduled you again?  My husband was sent to a different office than I, because Boston is so busy.

On J visas.  Spouse won DV lottery while in US.  Did AOS from the US.

 

Boston field office, GC holder for 10 years.

Citizenship received in 2016, took ~5 months from application to passport.

Spouse received citizenship in 2019
