Can someone explain are "Certificate of Naturalization" and "Certificate of Citizenship" different or the same?
I came across these two terms recently.

Oath invitation in 3-4 months ?
Hi,
I appeared for the interview today. Went pretty smooth. The only surprise was that she said that you should receive oath invitation in 3-4 months!
This is weird because I thought the whole reason for expediting interviews was so that we could vote in November.
Anyone else out there who appeared for interview this week and were given a time frame for oath invitation letter ?
Thanks

What should I expect next?
Folks,
Few weeks ago, I applied my N-400 application to the California Service Center. Today, I received the NOA which, states that my application has been transferred to the USCIS National Benefits Center in order to assist with the processing……
I will be notified of the date and place of my interview ……by the local USCIS office. I should expect to be notified within 425 days of this notice.
My question is, what should I expect next and when can I expect my interview?
Thanks

You are correct. Any changes that are required can be made the day of your oath as they have a "Corrections" Table set up. Be sure to double check your paperwork before you leave since it will cost more and take more time once you walk out. Also, the ceremonies are hectic - lots of people, lots of walking and standing in line so be sure to keep all your stuff with you at all times, and keep track of it (GC, letter, natz certificate etc etc). One woman lost her certificate at our ceremony, and you don't want that to happen. You will be able to apply for a passport at the oath ceremony if you wish. I chose not to simply because I wanted to make a copy of the certificate before the post office took it away from me. Lines can be quite long, but were not bad at my ceremony. Advise you to get there earlier (better seat and first dismissed) if you want to apply for a passport at the ceremony.
They told me the same thing: oath letter within 90 days. In reality, it took 30 days and was even faster for my wife. I think you should plan on getting your oath letter in 30 - 45 days. If you check this forum, there is a link to the LA Natz Ceremonies schedule (or you can google it). From that schedule, you will be able to see the upcoming oaths and approaximate when you get your letter (seems to be mailed about 4 weeks prior to ceremony). Good luck, and hang in there...hard part is over, and you're almost there!
Next thing that happens is you get a letter in the mail advising you of time and place to appear for fingerprinting. Once you do this, and background checks clear, you will be called for an interview. They seem to have cleared the backlog, so my guess is you will have an interview letter by December and finished with this process within 6 months of applying (probably Jan / Feb 2009).

I applied for my passport today (regular about 6 weeks). Almost completely done.
My husband interviewed Aug. 17 and we are still waiting on his oath letter. Lots of people have gotten them within a couple of weeks, but I guess it just depends....

Congrats farsez. I'm still waiting for my interview letter. Not sure why it has taken so long. I'm thinking of filing a WOM law suit.
