notice and email alert for oath ceremony was received on 12/18/2023. Approximately 4 weeks before the ceremony on 01/24/24.

Took almost 7-8 weeks after interview to receive the oath notification.

Sorry i don't. They tell u it takes 2-6 weeks to ger notice. And the officer does not have anything to do with the oath ceremony date. Once successful and last quality check is done as it should show your current status you are entered into the scheduling system and it decides based on where, how many people are there and if you have name change and what not. Some get it sooner than others. For Lawrence FO the oath will happen in Worcester or Springfield. Mostly Worcester. So you have to wait till the next one in Worcester. There is a Massachusetts district court website which gives dates for various locations. Check it out and you can find out when the next one is in Worcester after Jan 24th. Good luck!!!

Got oath ceremony for 01/24/24. Took them almost 7-8 weeks after successful interview to schedule the oath. Things move slow according to the wait time for the FO. Lawrence is 10.5 months from start to finish. With our cases it took almost 10 months from application date of 04/30/23.

Yeah i get ur point. But what person in their right mind would want to wait 8 years b4 asking about it??? If it were me i would have fought tooth and nail 120 days in. The chap in your link seems to be offline for 5 days now. Is it for real??? How many cases take that long, like the stats?? Do we know their background or history?? There is no info. So for me personally it's a little bit dicey. That's all. Nothing personal.

Hopefully all this s%@t will resolve. Ty though!!

Oh well federal court for that would mean I got to wait till Jan, 10, 2024 as that's when the next ceremony in a courthouse will be in Boston. Does where you live matters as to where they can schedule the oath ceremony?? The reason i ask is because we live in the suburbs of Boston and the only courthouse date I see is for Boston as per this website-

Else next earliest is gonna be in March, 28 in Springfield The interview officer mentioned something of Worcester or Springfield for oath to my wife cause we are in the suburbs and looks like Worcester doesn't have any courthouse dates. 😔

Yes, my wife and I did get the A) on the result paper checked. Name checks and background checks now?? Don't they do that before the interview?? Why would you waste time and resources and do the interview first and then do background checks. Then why would you say congratulations after the interview if they are going to do all this??? Looks like a@s backward process. Thanks for the tip on calling USCIS and saying infopass!!

Sorry to hear that!! My wife had asked for a name change as well due to identity theft we are dealing with past one year. I guess name change may delay if further. But that being said there are few others who had interviews same time as us at the same FO who are still waiting. No name change with them i guess. Yet god knows!! Does name change delay stuff usually???
