JimBean - Congratulations!!
Since we're all out of the TSC, I'm curious to see if you ran into this situation where the 800# folks told you (much after your interview) that you are still pending FBI security checks....... that's what they are telling me now even after I was "recommended for approval" at the int. ("Congratulations!" ceck box checked): http://immigrationportal.com/showpost.php?p=1634917&postcount=12

PD: 12/19/2006

Interesting - my case has not disappeared from the USCIS site (as folks have indicated theirs has). Also - The notice says: request for applicant to appaear for naturalization INITIAL interview.
Does anyone know if the INITIAL interview wording is standard??

Congrats Xanadu!
The initial interview thing is a standard format uscis uses, everyone gets the same wording.
Was the letter mailed from the Dallas DO or TSC?
Cheers!
In my case, the 800# guy bluntly told me that he had no clue about my case and I should get an Infopass appointment if I wanted to get any information. He re-iterated that N-400 is handled by the local office.
MissMolina
The envelope had the TSC name and address, so assume it came from the TSC. Have you heard anything if it should come from the Dallas DO? The interview is in the USINS office on North Stemmons.
Just checked my case status online and it still says pending.. no idea if it means anything or the update is still late.....
Looking at your timelines, you should be getting your interview letter in the next week or so if you havent gotten it alraady.
Good luck...
Another step forward...

The online case-status thingy is really un-reliable. I am not sure where you get the IL from, as long as you get it, you shld be fine
Thanks, I hope I can get it soon, though the interview-dates seems to be way out in May.
Cheers!
Don't worry I am sure they wil give her one when she goes or it'll turn up in the mail before she goes.Well not yet. She went y'day and the IO said there was an error in zipcode and they corrected it and they said they would resend it and suggested make an Infopass appt on 30th (they would give the letter then if not rec'd). They did not have an appt till 3rd.
The wait continues...
oath letter at last
All,
I have finally received my oath letter for the April 4th cermony in Garland. I got this on the 24th March.
Timeline is as follows:
pd: Aug 7 2006
fp: october 11 2006
iv: jan 22 2007
oath:apr 4 2007
I took an infopass on mar. 22. the lady asked us to wait for the oath letter.
the oath letter date was mar 23, so maybe the infopass made a difference.
Anyways, I am done. thanks to everybody on this forum.

Interview Done !!
Hi all,
I and my wife completed our interview today. Very straightforward and steps identical to the one shared by folks. Wife got the Oath date (N445) printed and handed to her. Oath is on 05/22 in Plano.
The only documents that I was asked for was Green Card, Passport and Drivers license. Six questions and the IO stopped. Read and write a sentence after the questions.
For me, they are waiting for a file from the National visa center. Once the file is received, they will schedule my oath. So, waiting time for me.
See signature line for dates. The dates for both of us are identical. Except she has her oath date set...

Confused
I just don't understand HOW the DO's work, in this case, the Dallas DO - looks like some here get the 445 the same day as the int (or right away after int.), and in some cases, it's mailed out
How can this be? What happens to the so called "supervisor check" that all of us have been told (or heard about) where every appl. that's recommended for approval needs to go through this check?

I suspect that there could be two types of IOs conducting interviews: 'junior IO' (or 'regular IO') and 'supervisor IO'. Probably when you are interviewed by a 'supervisor IO' they have authority for the immediate decision. But 'junior' (or 'regular') IOs might need to have cases (they have interviewed) to be finalized by 'supervisor IOs'. (Just guessing...)

You might be right! I have actually thought about the same thing too. For instance, my wife was interviewed by "DAO John Doe #29" but in my case it was simply "Officer #23 John Doe". I know DAO stands for District Adjudications Officer but could that be what ALL IO's are?
At any rate, it's pretty surprising that in A LOT of DO's people get oaths the same day - it's the norm. So it would mean EVERYONE is getting interviewed by a "Supervisor IO"?
