In Tampa, the Judge's individual schedules contain the naturalization ceremonies before that judge. Right now the only one found is for the first Tampa judge on the list on her monthly schedule. It is on the "calendars" link on the U.S. District Court website at http://www.flmd.uscourts.gov/ The schedules don't go out far enough right now to encompass the date that you were given. She has one on Thursday morning.

Does that Office do Administrative Ceremonies at the Office or another site? Are you doing a name change petition that would require you to have a Judicial Ceremony?

She told me Feb 15. That's all she said. They doing ceremonies every two months. Supposedly Feb 15 is one. Is there any way for me to find out. She said they will mail me a notice. She sounded positive it was Feb 15. And I believe Tampa does the ceremonies at the Tampa convention center

If you look at the calendar for the Tampa Convention Center for the previous months, it does not show ANY naturalization ceremonies for over a year. The last one it does show is for June 2009, http://www.tampagov.net/appl_calend...splay_Type=month_data&date=&MONTH=6&YEAR=2009

It is possible that USCIS does not hold oath ceremonies at the Tampa Convention Center any longer and that they have them at other locations. In any event, it has been less than a week since the time of the interview, and it is WAY too early to expect any info regarding the oath or to worry about it.
If you don't get an oath letter by the first week of February, you might want to schedule an INFOPASS and ask them about your oath.
But really, the best advice for you is just wait. The oath letter will arrive in due time.
