Ashburn, GA Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

It is not common for it to take a long time between completion of a naturalization interview/examination and the scheduling of an oath ceremony. If you were represented by an immigration attorney who was familiar with what you described as a "complicated case," the attorney could advise you about the likely reasons for the delay, or, better yet, have prepared your case in a way most likely to avert a delay. Additionally, that attorney would be in a position about the most productive steps to consider taking at this time, such as a formal Liaison Inquiry through the USCIS/American Immigration Lawyers Association liaison process, seeking assistance through the Office of the Ombudsman, seeking assistance through the immigration representative of your U.S. senator's office, through filing a Mandamus Lawsuit, etc.

The spouse will go out of status. It would be better for you to apply for naturalization. *Naturalization Application* The Naturalization Application must be filed. If done properly, it will take a few months to receive the fingerprinting notice, and then several more months to receive the naturalization interview to obtain U.S. Citizenship. Shortly thereafter, if approved, you will have the swearing in ceremony to become a U.S. Citizen. Please note that many people find themselves getting the application denied or being placed into deportation/removal proceedings because of past conduct.
