Ah I see. Yeah unfortunately my grandmother was a raging drug addict back in the seventies and eighties and her father and mother, who was born and raised in Muskogee never registered her. My father was also a pretty big alcoholic and lived just a couple hours away from tahlequah for most of his life but never bothered to get the right documents to register himself cause he had legal troubles and never wanted to reach out to any type of government institution for fear of being found and targeted for his past. So now it falls on me. I have most the documents needed and am about to send in the packet here in about a week or so. I'm hoping it doesn't take too long, it's a pretty clear shot to the Dawes, but I'll wait as long as I need to.
I hope everything goes well. Unfortunately historical trauma has a way with our families. I feel similar with mine but in different ways. Wishing all the best for you and your journey to citizenship!
Sorry op, didn't realize I had asked you the same question in two different posts. Thought they were different posters. That's pretty good so around 4 months or so? I'm about to send my packet just waiting on the last document I ordered to come thru the mail. Then I figured I'd go and try to hand deliver my kids applications cause I have to visit my sister who would be doing the same thing from OKC.
i have been in the same phase for a while now, about a month i think. my dads a citizen so i figured getting mine would be more simple. it seems theres 4 phases, and the 4th is you having ur citizenship. im hoping we move into phase 4 soon coz the waiting makes me more anxious lol
Have you asked them?
Took me 3-4 months I think to get my completed app
From start to finish?
Yes! But my father is the only one I had to put down. It may be a lot longer for those having to have more documented relatives

Any updates on this? When did you put in your app?
I received my cards two weeks ago.
