Interview and Oath Completed
Had to wait for about an hour beyond the scheduled interview time. Was asked for PP, Green card and License. When the interview began, the officer first asked for my birth certificate which I had taken with me. He wanted to verify the name and make sure that it matches what would be in the naturalization certificate. He then confirmed item by item from the N400 app - name, address, date of birth, SSN, employer. I had mentioned a minor traffic citation. He asked for court disposition, but I just had the citation copy and original receipt of the fine I paid. He said it was ok. I gave an updated travel sheet as I had traveled 4 times after filing N400. He said the system flagged an alert since I had said 'yes' to cited/arrested question. So he had to file a separate sheet explaining that it is just a traffic citation and the fine had been paid for. He said while he appreciated me for being honest, it triggered some unnecessary rules in the system. He then moved on to the civics test and the reading/writing test. He confirmed my name once again as it would appear in the nat. certificate. He asked me to write my full name in lower case on the photos and the N400 form. He then finally congratulated me for passing the interview and asked me to wait for the oath letter for the 2 pm ceremony.
Everyone got seated for the 2 pm ceremony by about 2.30 or so. But the ceremony only started at 3 and finished by 3.30. It was a long day and finally everything has come to a happy ending.

I was hoping to get letters sooner because mimi got already and he applied only one week before me. but this means we should not expect ID in November before thanksgiving. I am going to wait till first week of November and call USCIS if I don't get anything by that time.
Good news!
No IL yet but my case status changed today stating my case has been sent to interview. That means USCIS is moving on for August filers.
I guess so. First or second week probably. I'll see what IL says.
Congrats and thanks for updating. Since your RD is 8/6 and mine is 8/11, i am hoping i see some activity next week as far as notification and interview early 2nd weekof Dec.
BTW, as of late afternoon status remains RFE for me. Did you receive any emails, not sure if you registered?
