Why is it taking a month to for Oath date? My lawyer was telling me that right now they are conducting Oath ceremonies on Fridays and if interview is in the morning, oath cermony can be in the afternoon or on Friday that week.
I have no why it takes a month for getting oath letter. I kept my patience and followed USCIS. I am just reporting my timeline here. Just an observation, the oath ceremony are mostly on Fridays at RDU center. My oath is on 6/18/10 also a friday.

processin time
from two to three months after ur fingerprint day, U should receiv ur Interview letter sometime by the end of July, unless ur FBI name check is not clear....thats my two cents if tha can help u, be patient ! but u wont be sent to charlotte for interview, naturalization cases in NC is now held in Durham DO.

That's incorrect. Depending on our NC zip code, your interview can be either held in Charlotte or Durham DO.but u wont be sent to charlotte for interview, naturalization cases in NC is now held in Durham DO.
apply for passport and travel visa to India
Can we apply for NEW US visa passport after oath and also Travel Visa to India all at once and at one place to save time.
Now lot of stuff is involved after oath-
New Passport
Surrender certificate
Travel Visa
Trying to estimate time lines.

You will need the US Passport in hand before you can apply for cancellation of your Indian Passport, assuming you hold Indian citizenship (there is also a fee that you need to pay the Indian embassy per new rules) and then apply for the India travel visa. You can do the cancellation of the Indian passport and the visa application concurrently. I would do the OCI after the US passport and only apply for the Indian visa if you have to travel in the interim. OCI takes abpout 2 to 4 months end to end. Good luck.

Does Raleigh/Durham DO allow walk-in FP? Any recommendations on what day of the week would be best? Thanks in advance!
I heard from a forum user in "July n-400" thread that Charlotte DO allowed several FP walk-ins.
In our case and since the time between the day we received the FP notice and the actual day of FP is only 9 days. So, we thought we'll just go exacty the day we're scheduled. If you have time and you want to give it a try, go ahead. The most they can say is "no, come back on schedule". So, if you go there, be open to this possibility and don't get mad - it will depend on the guy's mood, no more no less. Good luck!

Makes sense. If I have time tomorrow, I might try. Thank you!
We had our FP taken within 15-20 min. The personnel is courteous and the service was excellent. There were only 4 people FP-ing at the time we were there. I asked an employee how busy does it get ?. The employee mentioned that sometimes it gets very busy with 20-30 people and at times, like today, not much although they expect more people on Wednesdays because they allow walk-in FPs (Is it a non-written rule? I don't know)...
Good Luck! How was your experience?

Congrats on moving to the next step in the process. I didn't have time this week to try walk-in, but this is great information for anyone going to Durham DO.
