As we know the naturalization process can take from 6 months to 2 years.
I am waiting for my Oath ceremony @ Newark, NJ. I applied in February, 2006.As of today, the time frame says "April 15,2006". What does it mean? Does it mean that Newark office processes N-400 received as of of April,15, 06?

Thanks,

Hi Samal,

When did you have your interview?

Rene

I had it at the end of June.

Hmmm...perhaps you can call the place that does the oath ceremony, and ask when the next one is? At least you might have some idea of when you'll be notified to attend it.

Newark does it the same day there at the USCIS offices.

Was there a problem with your application and/or with your background check that postponed outright approval that day and left you pending?

samal1485

Yes, backgroung check was not done it by the time when I had my interview.
Still waiting.

Samal,
You can sue the USCIS under 1447(b) statute 120 days after your
naturalisation interview.

Ohhh, that clears it up. So you're not just waiting to hear on your oath ceremony schedule. You're waiting for security checks to complete. That could be a very long wait, and very hard to get any information on the processing of it. In this case, it doesn't matter how long it took anyone else to have their oath ceremony. Yours will depend on when your security checks are done.

I guess you are right. I have to wait for ...

Thank you,

IMHO I would be proactive about this. While it does take a while for security check to clear and that can be delayed by your nationality as well, I would give them to January and then make an infopass appointment and ask in person. If they are still saying "security checks" after six months then I would contact a political rep and see if they can dig into the matter for you.

samal1485

You are absolutely right. I called to customer service, and they told me to contact them in Jan.
Thanks,

Samal
