Congratulations! You are very lucky to have the same day oath!!!
 
Passport ordered

3 weeks ago, I set up an appointment with the local passport office for the day after my Interview as I knew Seattle was doing same day oath ceremony. I found in info on the n-400 tracker website.

very straight forward - stopped by this morning to drop the docs - should get my passport by end of next week. (I have some trips planned early august - so went for expedited)
 
Finally Done

Had our interview today at Philadelphia office. Process went smooth and the whole interview time was 15 minutes. At the end the officer congratulated and gave us the oath letter for July 27. The civic questions asked were:
1. Ocean on the west coast
2. Why are there 13 stripes on the flag
3. Name of national anthem
4. What is rule of law
5. Voting age
I cannot remember the last two. Overall everyone was very courteous and nice. The details for our timeline is in the signature.
 
Thanks. Congrats to you too.

At our ceremony they did not say anything about waiting. They just said we need to go to SSA to update the records. I will be heading there soon. If they do not have the updated records, I will do it when I get the Nat. Cert back from the passport office.

I will ask our HR person about I-9. Not sure if she would know.

My oath is in less than two weeks, so hopefully I will get naturalization certificate and then will have to do corresponding updates with SSA and DMV. But I am not sure what is this I-9 form is. Could you, please, share what this form is about?

Marusia_GC, I-9 is a form that all employers have to have on record for each of their employees. It records valid employment status all the way from simple work authorization to H1B to Green Card to Citizenship. In my journey every time I had a new "work authorization" status, I have filled it out and provided proof accordingly.

You do this with the HR rep at your workplace and its just a 1 page form. I talked to my HR rep and she suggested I get the form with Nat Cert and passport for proof of citizenship. When I get my passport, I will update it.
 
THANKS Madgu_gc, Tuesday is my wife's interview, I will ask them whether they can do mine too, if not I will ask to have our oath same day at least.
How is your wife's case moving.

Good luck with your interview. After finger printing nothing happened and I know it will take some time.

It depends on the DO. Las Vegas DO takes longer than 2 weeks; actually about 6 weeks form FP done to IL received. Look at trackitt.com and select Las Vegas, NV from the USCIS District Office dropdown. http://www.trackitt.com/usa-immigration-trackers/n400

I'll bet you should be getting your IL in a week or so.
