He probably mean't they will be conducting oaths on a weekly basis instead of monthly
Weekly Oaths!
I know there is one Oath Date in August 8 or so!
Are there any other oath dates in August that people are aware of?

I am lost & confused
Need advice,
I applied for N400 back in May of 2006.
Then was stuck in background check since june 2006.
Got descheduled for a june 2007 interview for reason being, my case was still at the service center.
After 3 Infopass + over 10 call to USCIS I thought that my name check was completed and my file on the way to be transfered to my DO.
Today I had my 4th infopass, the only info that I could get after getting stuck in traffic for an hour was: "we requested your file to be transfered and as soon as we get it w'll inform you about your Interview Date".
Then I called the USCIS and requested to speak an officer. I said that my DO has requested my file 2 be transfered multiple times and got descheduled on an interview. And asked :"Can you give me a reason why my case has not be transfered??, she said:" it could be of multiple reasons like your background check not complete",then I said:" but I was told from previous phone calls that my name check was already completed". And then I said, I wish I was given similar answers each time I call so I do not get as confused!!!
PLEASE NEED ADVICE FROM ALL OF YOU!!
-WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?
-GET HELP BY HIRING A LAWYER, BUT BY READING THIS FORUM, AT BACKGROUND CHECK STAGE NO-ONE COULD REALLY HELP
- SHOULD I CONTACT MY SENATOR?
APPRECIATE YOUR REPLIES
THANKS

I honestly hope that your file is simply in transit between service center and DO. Whatever the transit may mean: stuck on someone's desk under the pile of some other files, or really transferring, or already there and is sitting in the DO queue to be looked at to realize they need to re-schedule.
If I remember correctly it took FlyDog to use some congressman or senator's office help in order to put his case back on track from the USCIS black hole after his interview was de-scheduled for the same reason as yours. That case might mean that de-scheduled cases are abnormal for them and might not be a well managed part of their 'well-managed' work/document-flow. So, once it gets off normal track it might require some external kick to make them realize that they need to do something about 'that' pile too. All of this is just speculation of course.
Unfortunately it also appears that they will have their first usual defense in your case to wait 30 (60 ? 90 ?) days before bothering them. And it appears that you are only around 30 days time frame (from your de-scheduled interview...). Does your de-scheduling letter say how long to wait before contacting them? So I guess you could wait some more (month? two?) or you could try to get help from congressman/senator. Search for FlyDog's posts about his handling of the same situation.

Thanks for the reply Asitel.
Yes I remember, FlyDog was in a similar situation.
I am at 45 days after the descheduling.
will wait 3 to 4 weeks then will contact my congressman.
For sure FlyDog will give me his feedback when he reads my post.
Where are u FlyDog??

Hey, I'm done with the USCIS, so I took a vacation (out of the country even, giving my passport its first flight).
Your congressman's immigration aid should be able to find out your exact status. When I got stuck in a deschedule hole, I went to my congressman first, got my status (which only confirmed what I had found out from several InfoPasses), then to Sen. Hutchison.
Remember, if you are in name check, it's a waste of time to get them involved, all you will get is "sorry, we can't do anything". If you are not in name check, it appears that they can have some influence on getting things done.
Good luck

Sit back & Enjoy the wait
Yes Flydog is right ..I'm stuck in name check black hole ...Back in June I called USCIS customer service line & soon after I received a letter telling me that my background check is still pending
mad: )
Keep in mind your first biometry (fingerprints taken) is only valid for how long ? 12 month ? 15 month? The clock is ticking ...I would be real pissed if I receive a notice to have my fingerprints taken 2nd time through NO FAULT of my own !!
I just came back from a recent trip to Canada..it was very smooth ..at border points...show GC and pass...even though I had my orig. passport ready...not even required either US or Canadian side ! Ironically I kinda of appreciate the fact that GC is so much easier to carry compared to a passport ( GC fits right in your wallet, but not your passport)
My time line
PD 09/20/2006
FP 10/23/2006
name check pending

They have 120 days from interview to adjudicate the case. This is not an option for them once they have interviewd you. See my link with the adjudicator manual. So write polite letters and send a copy of your N-652 and other relevant documents as proof. Make copies of these letters for your records and send with return receipt. Wait two weeks. Write another letter. If no response after 120 days then write your congress person. If you legitimately went through interview they cannot hold up your case.
