yes i noticed the same thing. My app has progressed very quickly too. I applied 2/25, was fingerprinted end of march and have my interview on 5/22. I wonder if they are pushing a lot of people through because of the three huge oath ceremonies coming up...
May 28th, Pomona, 7,000 people
June 26th, LASA, 12,000 people
July 24th, LACC, 12,000 people
That's 31,000 people naturalized in the LA area in the span of two months. That's crazy!
FYI the naturalization ceremonies page (on cacdDOTuscourtsDOTgov) was just updated (July dates added) on cinco de mayo!

hey everyone i just had my interview and passed!!! yeah! I updated my signature with my timelines. Things are moving way faster than I expected.
The interview went smoothly. I was early. The interview started right on time. I had brought a stack of papers for proof of marital union, bank accounts, photos, original birth certificates for my wife and i and my son as the notice letter had requested BUT the IO didnt even ask to see any of it. All i handed him was my drivers license and green card. He didnt even want to see my passport or anything. The english question was super easy. I had to write "the president lives in the white house". The civics questions were:
1) Who is the governor of California? Arnold S.
2) Who was the first president? George Washington
3) What is one promise you make when you become a US Citizen? Defend the constitution
4) What movement tried to end racial discrimination? Civil rights movement
5) Where is the statue of liberty? New York Harbor / Liberty Island
6) Name two national holidays? Memorial Day and Thanksgiving
I asked if there was any way I could get the oath ceremony for next week on May 28th in Pomona but he said no and that they will mail me a oath notice soon. Hopefully I'll make the cutoff for the big ceremony on June 26th at LASA.

got my oath notice the other day! So that was fast. A total of 14 business days between my interview and the oath notice being sent out. (May 22nd --> June 11th). And this was after the IO told me during the interview that it could be a couple months.
Total overall is 4 months and 1 day from priority date until oath. Wow. I was fully expecting this whole process to take at minimum 1 year.

Oath Ceremony Descheduled
I was scheduled for oath ceremony on July 24. And then they sent me another letter saying the oath ceremony descheduled by USCIS.
This is the exact wording from the letter:
This is to advise you that, due to unforeseen circumstances, we have had to cancel the previously scheduled Oath Ceremony on Friday, July 24, 2009 at 01:00PM for the above applicant. We regret any inconveniences this may cause.
We will advise you of any further action taken on this case, including any rescheduled interview information, under separate notice.
Anybody has similar situation here? What is possibly happening here?

IL Notice of Action
I got my IL notice a few days ago. It is said "Request for Applicant to Appear for Naturalization Initial Interview". Did anyone get the same as of mine? I am just curious why they call it Initial Interview.

SB DO Oath Ceremony
I am surprised that SB DO has back log for Oath Ceremony as far as June.
That is absurd! Can you guys write to the House Rep?
My journey doesn't stop here since I have to do IR after that.
It seems like never ending and perfect process but fees keep going up though....
