yes you will get the name change certificate granted and approved by court with court's seal which you signed during interview

There is a section that explains all fees and procedures. Marriage Records Free site suggests that you have as much information as possible including name or names of parties involved, which court the case was heard in and other information that you may have. This will make your search go more quickly.

I did oath ceremony on April 8th 2010. In the court house they said Name change certificate to be mailed at house address. If not mailed what I have to do. How long I can wait. Any idea ?

What you describe sounds pretty weird. I did a name change as well, and the name change certificate was given to me together with the naturalization certificate during the oath ceremony. From reading the other posts in this forum I have the impression that this is standard practice (that name change and naturalization certificates are given together).
I guess you could try to get in touch directly with the court which conducted the naturalization ceremony and ask them directly; presumably it is this court that has to approve the name change request.
