It looks like they are going by the finger printing appointment date, and not the date on which the fp is done (for early walk-ins). Its pretty clear now that completing finger printing earlier than scheduled has no advantages.

Really? (Please see my timeline below)
However, I agree this whole 'fast processing' thing may be moot if I end up with an interview within 90 days of applying as I won't be Oath Eligible until Feb 2010.
 
Called FBI

I called in FBI to see if they recieved the FP I did yesterday. They said they have processed and sent it back to USCIS.
 
Gave my fingerprints yesterday.
I went in the morning and they took me right away, no wait.

----- timeline ------
Nov 2 mailed application
Nov 4 Priority Date
Nov 6 date of acknowledgement letter
Nov 13 date of fingerprint appt letter. Asked me to come at 1 pm on Dec4 or any Wed afterwards by end of February.

Why is that? Should you complete 5 calendar years (or 3, as the case may be) as a PR before taking the oath..??

Maybe you misunderstood me. Let's say your resident since date is 12/15/04 and your interview is 12/11/2009. You can become u.s citizen only on or after 12/15/2009....hence your oath date has to be on or after this date. What's your DO? You can be interviwed before your anniversary date but most likely you will get a decision cannot be made.
 
Interesting info about the anniversary date. I have a slightly unique situation in that I got my GC through work and not long thereafter, I got married to a US citizen. I actually have applied for my naturalization after three years of marriage because there is nothing on the form or elsewhere that I've seen that specifically says I can't do this just because I got my GC through work. I guess I'll find out how things pan out in terms of the anniversary date but am not worried about it either way.

No I did not misunderstand.. I was just surprised at that information. My 485 was approved on 1/31/05. Does that mean I cannot take the oath before 1/31/10, even if I clear my interview on, say, 1/20/09?

Remember that you cannot even apply for naturalization until 90 days before your 5 year (or 3 year, if married to a citizen) anniversary of your first date of residency. Your example of using the dates 1/20/09 and 1/31/10 do not make sense because you wouldn't be able to apply for naturalization (unless, of course, you have a situation like mine).

Sorry.. that was a typo. I should have said 1/20/10 for interview date - 10 days before the 5 yr anniversary. So I cannot even request for a same day oath.. right..??

That's correct. You can't take the oath until 1/31/10. That's why I applied 62 days b4 and my interview is on 12/28/09, 2 weeks after my anniversary.
