are there any acceptance agents during oath ceremony
I will have my oath ceremony on the 30th of March in the Arlington convention center. Does anybody know wether they have acceptance agents available at the ceremoney to seal all documents so I can send it directly to a expediting firm, the same day???
Any help will greatly be appreciated

Ragu,
So, according to your timeline,
01/19/06 : FP NOA received
02/07/06 : FP Appointment
01/27/06 : FP Completed.
You received the FP notice on 01/19 and your FP appointment was on 02/07, but you got FP completed before on 01/27?
How did you do that? How did you do it before the appointed date?

Of course there is some randomness in the whole thing
I had PD:Sep 05, FP-Oct/Nov 05 (I rescheduled), Interview - Mar which was then descheduled to lack of folks.
If they were following a process you would think they would deschedule the guys from later PDs but not really

I also received mine, but you got a very quick one. One question....did you apply alone or with your spouse? It's my observation that singles get appt quicker, but for two people together it's harder to schedule one after the other, that's why our date is two months out.

Two reasons why I said it was due to resources
1. When I did research that was the most common reason most folks gave
2. I did setup an appt to go to the local INS office. She said the main regional offices sets appt without knowing the workload of the office. They have to reschedule folks many times.
But I did get my new interview date for next week so hopefully I am all set

My Interview
All,
Finally had my appt today and thought I would share my experience. First, I would like to thank all the posters on this board for posting their experiences since that was very helpful to me.
My appt was 845am and I arrived 30 minutes early. At about 945am I was a little worried since I saw people with appt later than mine and those who had come after me go in. Well found out that someone was double booked so I had to be assigned to another INS officer.
Before they began I had to take the oath to be truthful. The interview was very easy. I had taken a piece of paper highlighting changes in my app since I had filed. He handed back a bunch of stuff that I had sent with my app like my tax forms, spousal info, pay records etc. I guess they have to number every piece of paper and he didn't want to number a 100 pages
He pretty much went through the whole app verifying information like name, social, address, work experience etc Seemed more detailed than many others who have posted on the job but again this was done in a very professional and courteous manner.
At the end of the interview (about 40 minutes) he told me that they have reached an agreement that allows them to book a candidate at any oath ceremony in the metroplex. There is an oath ceremony in Sherman on May 19 and one in Dallas on June 1. I am from Denton county but I went ahead and picked the earlier date since I want to get my passport ASAP.
My dates are listed below and feel free to ask any question you have. Will be glad to help. As you can see it took me about 7-8 months but that was also delayed by me rescheduling my FP interview and INS rescheduling my Interview.
Priority Date-Sep 30 2005
Notice of Fingerprinting-Oct 26 2005
Fingerprinting Appt-Nov 4 2005
New FP Date-Nov 23 2005 (I rescheduled since I had to be out of town)
FBI Sent back FP - Nov 23 2005
Notice of interview-2/1/06
Interview - 3/9/06
New Notice of Interview - 4-4-06 (My interview was canceled due to resource issues at INS)
New Interview - 4/19/06
Oath Date - 5/19/06
