120 days since Civics Test and No Ceremony

[Baspill0]

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to test the waters and see if anyone has had a similar situation to mine. I applied for citizenship on July 2023 and was scheduled for an interview on Feb 6 2024. I passed the civics test with no hardship yet the officer sent my case for review after he asked me if I had fulfilled my duties as a previous F-1 student. I said I did and advised I had my undergrad and graduate college degrees upon request.

it’s been 120 days since the test and my case has not been updated. I read online on a few different places that officers have 120 days to make a decision after an interview has been completed. This is whether to invite for ceremony or request more evidence. Has anyone here been in a similar situation that can provide advise?

I filled myself in the state of Tennessee.

Suppose 120 days have passed since your interview and your records have not been updated. In that case, you should contact USCIS by phone, submit an online request, or seek the assistance of an immigration attorney to expedite the process.

I had my interview since January 10, 2024. I called, wrote letter, filed inquiry… no response from them whatsoever. It’s irritating, frustrating, and I feel like screaming so the all world can hear me….

I called lawyer and advised that the 120 days is a timeline USCIS meets regularly. I guess just not on my case. I attempted to create a case inquiry and would not let me submit due to the actual case be still within processing timelines. So I guess it’s a waiting game…

Given that your interview was on February 6, 2024, and it's been 120 days since then, a few things could be going on:

1. Case Review: After interviews, cases may sometimes go into "administrative processing" where additional verification, checks, or background work is needed.
2. RFE (Request for Evidence): In your case, you mentioned an RFE letter, which means USCIS needs more information before proceeding with your naturalization application. It’s important to respond to RFEs as quickly and completely as possible to avoid further delays.
3. F-1 Visa History: Your mention of F-1 status during the interview might have raised additional questions. Sometimes, they may need more evidence to confirm that you complied with the requirements during your time as an F-1 student, including maintaining proper status and fulfilling any duties (like reporting work or updating your address).
