Is this it, or what?

I've seen your other post and it seems you got some sort of a decision cannot be made because some prior record. 316.1 is the part of the law that deals with good moral character and things like that. I think the letter should be clear if they are denying your application. Definitely it doesn't sound like an oath letter.
Furthermore, it seems the letter you mention is something the officer give you during the interview, not something you received later on. You need to get what is called an oath letter to show up for your oath ceremony and what you mention doesn't seem to be it, unfortunately.

Just wait for a letter to arrive from USCIS that requires signature to be released to you. It seems your case has moral issues which the officer is going to review before rendering a decision. If you receive a message from the USPS about a letter requiring your immediate attention, consider yourself in a new category....
Huracan,
let me read what the letter says
Dear Naturalization applicant:
Congratulations! Your application for Naturalization has been approved.
To complete the naturalization process, you must now take the oath of allegiance before a judged of united states district court. The it goes on saying to to vote till I'm sworn in. and that I will receive a letter days prior to my ceremony.
On the bottom its says again
Once again, congratulation on passing your citizenship interview.

Sorry for scaring raccoons out of you. I appears the section I pulled deals with moral stance for immigration.
Are you sure? SO far as I know no one gets such approval notice unless it is the oath letter itself.
No worries..you received a non standard interview results letter. Your next step is to wait for oath letter.

how long does it usually take to recieve the oath letter
Check the CA thread, will give you a generic idea of when to expect it. It could take many weeks or a few days.
As per your earlier post on Sep/10 you had interview then - just recently. It is almost a month since your interview. Who is your DO ? Is there a name change involved in your case?? Probably it is time to schedule an Infopass and get reasons for delay.

3 weeks is too soon to inquire about a delay, especially now that an approval letter has been delivered.
Mad, it makes sence. I did had a name change, so this can actually delay the oath letter
Al, where is the CA thread?

Could it be:-
LOS = Los Angeles
ADN = Adjudicator's initials or "Applicant Denied Naturalisation"?
316.1 =
8 C.F.R. 316.1 O( a)( 1) requires that the applicant for naturalization prove that he or she has been and continues to be, for the period required by law (naturalization statutory period), a person of good moral character.
Under 8 C.F.R. 316. 1 0(a)(2), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) shall evaluate claims of good moral character on a case-by-case basis taking into account sta~dards of the average citizen in the community of residence. This regulation additionally provides that USCIS may consider an applicant's conduct and acts at any time prior to the statutory period to determine Good Moral Character ifthe conduct of the applicant during the statutory period does not reflect a reform of character from an earlier period.
8 C.F.R. 316.1 O(b )(3)(iii) provides that, unless the applicant establishes extenuating circumstances, the applicant may be found to lack good moral character, if during the statutory period, he or she has committed unlawful acts that adversely reflect upon his or her moral character, even ifthere is no criminal conviction or imprisonment for such acts.
