Atlanta GA - N-400 Timeline

I have interview tomorrow. I have long name, but my friends and co-workers calls me short name which I never mentioned in N400 application. Do I need to mentioned the short name to Interview Officer? Please reply me immediately. But I don't want to change my original name. I have 11 character in my name, but they call first four letters. Ramakrishna, but everybody calls me RAMA.

Nicknames do not need to be mentioned unless you use them on a regular daily business dealings such as utility bills and such.
 
Thanks Bobsmyth for you reply.

I used nickname for my cable bill and I used in my office Alias name. If I mention, is there any delay. Please reply.

Thanks,

It is better you stick to the name given in N400 unless you want a name change.
Any name change may lead to delay in oath taking.
Good luck in your interview!
Keep us posted about how the interview went.
 
So Mr.Chitti Babu you are in the process of Naturalization....Man you used to tell 100's of stories that you didnt wanted to take Citizenship etc etc......

Thanks bittub for you reply.

My interview was done yesterday day at 1.40PM and oath is scheduled this Friday day. Go through my N400 application from top to bottom and 6 civic questions and 1 english reading and writing. Pretty simple. It doesn't take much time, only 6 to 8 mins.
 
What is my next step after interview and OATH? I mean apply for US passport or update SSN and driver's license, which one first? Is there any forum to get more details?

Was there any discussion in the interview about your long name and the one you said you were using in work etc?

Today, I received a text and email that states that I have been schedule for interview, and I should received the written notice within 14 days. Not sure what took so long...but glad I finally received something! hopefuly the rest is straight forward.
