My wife and myself were called in around 12:10 and 12:15 PM for scheduled time of 10:45 AM.
After giving me oath and asking for usual document like photo id, green card, interview letter etc, the civic test was conducted. The questions were
national anthem?
what is law?
13 stripes in flag?
ocean on pacific coast?
age when one can vote for president?
who is speaker of the house?
English test was reading/writing one sentence. Then officer asked if there was any intent to change name. If I still lived at same place and worked for the same employer as was on application. Then, he walked me through all the yes/no questions towards the end in application. Then, he said that he was approving my application and needed to make sure that my wife and me got the same time for oath ceremony as he was going to schedule us for oath ceremony on coming Monday Jul 23.
The whole interview took about 14 minutes for me. He then directed me to waiting area where I needed to wait for my oath ceremony letter.
My wife's case the officer did not ask any additional questions other than civic and English test. She came out in about 10 minutes.
We are going for oath on Monday Jul 23rd at 11 AM. It would be so good to get to this day after 9 years with immigration process.

Received YL and IL on 08/09/12
Finally received YL and IL both in one envelop. Interview Data on 09/11. Online message did not change. Very strange.

I'm new to this site posting but not reading it. I don't konw many things about postings, so my apologies from incomplete info (if any).
Me and my wife have been waiting for more than 60 days for our interviwe letter at Chicago DO. I noticed other people posting with priority dates after ours with their interviews set already. Our cases are very straight forward, I don't know why is taking soooooo long? Any inputs from the members of the forum.

Sorry, forgot to put that our priority date is mid April, we did our finger prints on June 12 and have been waiting in queue since mid June. I know Chicago is busy but one would thing than more than 60 days would be enough to schedule an interview. Can Big Joe or other gurus comment on this issue. Why it takes so long in Chicago.
Many thanks in advance
How do I put my signature on my posts? Just type at the end of every message or post?

There may be various reasons for the delay, besides their slowness. The most obvious one is your FBI name check is not cleared yet. If you are concerned, try and send them a request online or schedule an infopass. They will tell you what's going on.

Thanks "me" for your input.
I was under the impression that once you are placed in line for interview, it meant that your FBI check has concluded. I know I've read that info here in the forum several times. I might be wrong.
What is best, to call the benefit center number provided in the uscis website or to schedule an infopass appt.?
Thank again for the help.

A visit to the office which actually handles your case might be more helpful, in my view.
My understanding is that yes, being placed in queue for an interview does usually indicate that all the FBI Name check has been completed. In 2006 the USCIS adopted a policy of not scheduling naturalization interviews until the FBI Name Check is finished, http://www.avlawoffice.com/YatesMemoBackgroundChecks.htm
Past experience indicates that the way the USCIS implemented this policy is not to transfer the applicant's file to a local DO until the FBI Name Check is done.
However, the online case status system is not very reliable and sometimes gives incorrect information. Also, sometimes the USCIS makes a mistake and transfer the file to a local DO (and maybe even schedules an interview) before the name check is done - if that happens, they then have to push on the brakes in the process.
As far as the Chicago DO is concerned, there may also be other possible explanations. Basically, a great deal depends on where exactly in the Chicago DO area you live. If you live in Chicago/Chicago suburbs, you can expect faster interview scheduling and faster oath scheduling. If you are in downstate/central Illinois, everything usually takes longer, for various reasons.

I tried to post before but it was not posted. Here is a second try.
Thanks to "me" and balkal3 for their input. I do live a f couple hours from Chicago. Balkal3 last comment migth explained why we are still waiting for an interview more than 60 days after FP. I might try an e-query, but other forum members have mentioned that those are of limited help. I'm concerned of the thousnads of new appliactions as of today, due that the new deferral of removal program, will make thins even slower in chicago. Any other advise or comment is welcome. Many thanks in advance.

Since you only filed N-400 in mid-April, you are still within the normal processing times for N-400, and having been in a queue for an interview for 60 days is not yet out of the ordinary.
Doing an e-request is easy, so if you are really restless, do an e-request now and see what they say. If in about two months you are still not scheduled for an interview, then schedule an INFOPASS appointment and try to talk to them in person.
