Hello,

I got everything marked completed on may 31st. But no oath invitation yet.
I have been contacted them regarding Oath and they said after everything is completed timeframe for Oath is 1-3 months ( apparently everyone will have just have to wait on their turn) . Seems they have schedule.

Same here. My status has been changed to "completed" except Oath ceremony on May 31st.
My husband had a ghost update on May 25th; citizenship test and background check are completed, but others are still in progress. no update for him on May 31st.

I got the same reply today about 1-3 months time frame. But wondering about from which date should we count 3 months? Is it from the day when everything else got completed?

For those who asked they said 1-3 months timeframe ( from everything marked completed ) they looking into it ( 1-3 months) but of course can be earlier - that's for lucky ones :);)
