I am fairly sure the mandamus was the reason they finalized the application when they did. They timed it so that they could schedule the oath 1 day before they were required by the law to formally respond to the records we filed. Otherwise, I think, it is whenever they fell like it. Can be 1 day, can be 3 years.
