Congratulations, Stinger. I wonder what sort of questions did they ask you.

Yes that's what it looks like. DO handed me passport application (and sheet of paper saying I passed test and recommended for approval)
I will get a oath letter in email and citizenship certificate.
Then when I go to oath ceremony, I have to take the -certificate, -passport application, -fees, -picture and passport will be done by DoS at the oath ceremony.
But I read in forums that at some service centers, the oath can be done that day itself, so check on your service center and carry cheque book, in case you have the option to take oath and apply for passport then and there itself.

Not much questions.
DO went through all the questions in the application like name, DOB, SSN, address, where do I work etc.
I had travelled only 72 days out of US. He asked if all that is correct, I said yes.
I had traffic issue in 2002. He asked any more traffic issues , I did not have any. Said appreciate sending all those traffic docs in advance.
Basically all the info that in the application.
Then went to testing part - answered all the questions, after 6 he stopped.
Then went verbal test - Asked me to read a simple sentence (a question).
Then to writing part, asked me to write a sentence (answer to the sentence from the writing part, answer is provided) - you just need to write the sentence down.
Then said I am recommending for approval, asked approval means loyal to USA, do I understand that.
Asked me to sign that appropriate section of the application.
While escorting me out of the interview room into waiting area, handed me over the passport application packet and said will be getting oath letter in mail and asked me to inform them of any address changes.

Oh wow. That's nice. I wonder what they'll do if/when they find out that I didn't mention minor traffic violations (tickets for moving violation, double parking, and forgetting to put the registration on my car!).
Also, now that you've passed the interview, what's the next step? Do you need to fill out another form for Oath that'll require you to mention traffic tickets?
Anyway, congratulations again!

Traffic issues with fines below 500$ doesn't matter, No need to mention them. Unless citation/arrest, diversion, dui etc
Next step - I will get oath letter, and during oath, I need to apply for Passport.
But if anything happens before that, like arrest, >500$ traffic stuff you need to disclose that during oath.
Just be truthful with DO, if you know anything missing in application, just let officer know when he asks. Officer will know everything. Usually he will ask if he wants to know something.

What do you mean by "disclose" during Oath? Will someone ask (as in interview)? I apologize for my ignorance but I thought Oath was just a "standard" ceremony - more of a formality.
Any update on your case status? I'm still amused about my own application process. I receive a status update saying I've been scheduled for interview and I don't get anything for 7 weeks and suddenly, they tell me they've sent a letter asking me for additional documents and my case will be put on hold. But instead of that letter, I receive an interview notice. :S

I had my interview on the 12th of September, I didn't have a complete breakdown of my trips in and out of the states. I gave the generic breakdown. My IO told me once I handed this in to him it shouldn't be a problem. Three days after my interview I gave him the most upto date trip schedule, only to get a text message two hours later stating that i was back in line waiting for a interview. Just want to know how long this will take. P.S. i WORK ON A CRUISE SHIP. Longest out of the country 6 months 2 week because of work.
trips as follow.
1. 3/9/14- 3/23/14 14 days away, returning on the 7th day
2. 8/15/2010- 1/30/2010. 120 days out of u.s returning every 7th back to states
3. 8/24/11- 12/11/11 104 days away
12/11/11- 3/18/12. returning every 1, 2, 7 days. stopping in us virgin islands
4. 3/24/12- 8/11/12 returning every 2, 3, and 6 days
5. 10/9/12- 04/24/13 197 days
4/30/13- 5/7/13 6 days
6. 8/10/13- 11/12/13 112 days
11/12/13- 3/7/14 returning to the us every 10 days
This is the short list. I listed everything in detail, do you guys think i need a lawyer
Thanks for the help in advance

This is also from my reading from these forums.
I think during Oath there is a standard question like 'do you have anything to disclose after the interview happened', this is for folks who do a mistake (like DUII, arrest etc.). If you do not disclose such things (that happened after your interview), there is always a legal chance for USCIS to deny once application once they find out such things later for whatever reason.
I haven't received oath letter yet. Hoping to receiving by end of this week.
I guess you must have already done this. Did they ask you to send some docs, if so did you send them? Else just have all those info/docs for interview.
That's good you have a interview notice, so nothing to worry at this point. Just be prepared on all your travel questions / dates for which I think you are worried.
Interview otherwise is very straight forward.

Just got status update email about oath letter
So folks attending interview check you local office if they do same day oath ceremony (and carry a passport photo, credit card or cheque book) to get done that there itself.
--
we placed your application in the oath scheduling que. We will send a notice when the ceremony is scheduled. If you move prior to the scheduled ceremony, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.
Naturalization Applicants: you will receive your certificate at your oath ceremony. You can expect to be scheduled for an oath ceremony within 45 days of receiving your recommended approval. Many offices schedule approved applicants for the oath ceremony on the same day as the day of the interview. Please check the local office profile page on our website to determine if the office where you will be interviewed schedules same day oath ceremonies.

Hi Stinger and NJN, wondering if your officers went through every single question you filled out on the form....
Also, did you study anything other than the 100 questions on the "quick civics lessons"? Like for tests and all...any apps?
