Hi everyone,
Looking for advice or shared experiences related to the Detroit field office.
My dad had his N-400 interview on Monday, July 22, 2025. He disclosed that he owes taxes but provided proof of an IRS payment plan that starts in September. He also submitted all required documentation. At the end of the interview, the officer said she needed to consult with her supervisor, and no decision was made.
Now here’s the strange part — my mom had her interview the very next day, July 23, with the same tax situation and identical documents, plus a medical waiver (Form N-648) — and she was approved immediately. Her oath ceremony is scheduled for August 7.
So despite her case being arguably more complex, it was approved on the spot, while my dad's was not. Has anyone had something similar happen — especially where one spouse is approved and the other is delayed due to “supervisor review”? How long did it take for a decision or oath letter to come through?
Appreciate any insights. Thanks!
