Hi Everyone,
Need some guidance.
My interview was 8/3/12 and the IO said that I had passed, congratulated me and informed me that he was going to recommend me for citizenship. He said the file had to go to another officer above him. He even handed me a paper confirming the above. That was 3 weeks ago. I still have not heard anything from USCIS.
My field office is San Antonio.
How long is the typical wait time for San Antonio office to make a decision and inform you after the interview? I was hoping with an election coming along they would 'speed' things up. Of course, that was my personal delusion. but, then again .....
Appreciate all help from people who have gone through the experience from this field office (or similar 'busy' field offices).
Thanks

I had my interview today in San-Antonio. Scheduled at 10.00 a.m. but was taken in a few minutes early. IO very nice, pleasant chap. After swearing in he asked me to read 'What is the Capital of US' and then to write the answer. I wrote 'Washington D.C. is the Capital' we had a small, pleasant chitchat of whether it should be Capitol with an 'o' or Capital with an 'a'. he thought it should be an 'O' but the question he had me read had an 'a' in it. Jut mild pleasantry. the six questions were easy. he said I had passed the writing/reading and civics test.
Then he went through my application. I had used a pen name to write a book, self published @ amazon. I asked him if I should mention it. First he said no, then he wavered. I had the Amazon website - re my book - printed out where it stated my pen name and underneath my real name. He was happy with it. he kept the copy for his records.
everything in my application was fine.
He said - Congratulations, I have been recommended for approval. He said another officer had to go through it for final approval. wait 2-4 weeks. next Oath ceremony in San Antonio is in September. He was hopeful I would be approved and get my oath letter by then.
Then he got me to sign my application.
Noted that my birth records and originals from home country had my first and middle name as initials. so, he told me we would have to do a name change to get my full name on the records. instead of C.C.Steppenwolfe it had to be Cave Canem Steppenwolfe. So he asked me to sign (write in cursive) full name across the front of both my photographs.
Done.
took about 40 mins. mostly for checking if I needed name change (he had to go ask someone else) and get me to sign the photos. otherwise very pleasant.
Now it is 'hurry up and wait' time for the final approval and Oath letter to come

I got the interview letter today, after all the changing status(es) yesterday @ the USCIS website. Relieved! Date of letter is 6/19/12. Date of interview is 8/3/12 @ San Antonio.
Can someone update my changes, please.
And congrats to everybody who have turned into US citizens.

I got an e-mail on 6/13 that I was being placed on the interview schedule.
On 6/15 my status @ USCIS had been updated to scheduled for interview and should receive a letter within 2 weeks or call the 1-800 number. as of 6/20 I had not received a letter. but when I checked my case status tonight (6/20) it said scheduled for interview 6/20 and should receive a letter within 2 weeks. I was scratching my head about this and checked 2 hours later and the status had gone back to the 6/15 and should receive a letter in 2 weeks.
What do I make of this shuffling dates for 2 hours? it is like checking airline fares on Kayak.com. Changes every 2 hours.
anybody have a similar experience?

in US Citizenship General Discussion

You need to do the above things as others have explained.
Also,
Call your congressman's office, even though you are still not an US citizen (but a prospective one). Usually there is an aide who will answer your call. Explain in detail, your circumstances and the events that have happened. If you can, take a copy of everything and go to your congressman's office, the aide will note things down. You will have to sign a letter saying that you give permission for them to can call/write on your behalf. They will send a letter to USCIS about what has happened and see if things can be straightened out.
Even if nothing comes out of their letter(s), it will have the benefit of officially being on record and help your circumstances, in the event of any misunderstanding with USCIS late on.
If you can be sworn in by election date, trust me, your Congressman's office will really be motivated to help you out.
Give it a try. I saw in your previous posts that your were in tears. So, I thought that I would offer this advise. It may be an extreme step - the other steps outlined by others at VJ may suffice, but the above idea should be a fallback for you if the situation is not straightened out.
