Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / November 2005

Hi all,

As some of you may know my husband opted to reschedule his oath ceremony.
It was previously scheduled for Nov. 18.  We sent a letter asking for it to
be rescheduled (delivered Nov. 3). Today (Nov. 30) we received a letter that
says the following:

"You were scheduled to appear for an Oath Ceremony for Naturalization on
Friday, Nov. 18, 2005.  Our records indicate you failed to appear for this
ceremony.  You will be notified by INS of the date, place and time of your
rescheduled Oath Ceremony."

We are relieved that we received a response, maybe that means he won't be
lost in the system somewhere.  (Let's hope not anyway!)   I'm wondering
(doesn't matter--just for curiosity's sake) if this is the wording they
always use for rescheduling requests?  It sounds as though it's automatic if
you don't show up for the ceremony.  Anyone know for sure?

...and so we wait....and this post isn't a complaint at all--we knew the
risk we were taking....just thought some might want to know how it was
going.  :-)
