How are people getting their interviews SO QUICKLY??

I do not understand how people seem to be able to get their interviews within 3-4 months of the receipt date. The USCIS website says they are processing cases in San Jose that were received in Sept 2008, and everywhere in California they are still on Aug-Oct 2008, check it out (it's been recently updated):

https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/ptimes.jsp

Or is "Field Office" not the same as "District Office"? Although the above Field Offices all have N-400 info.

How are people in the SECOND quarter of 2009 already getting FP notices and I still haven't gotten an interview date?

I am getting worried. I live in Santa Cruz county, and I'm guessing San Jose is my District Office. Yet y'all are having a very different experience.

I have a minor arrest (case dismissed, sealed) on my record, maybe that is delaying things?
 
Update:
I went to the FP office on Charcot they said they are not doing Early FP but the guy let me in any way.
Update in my signature.

Yes, you can go before your appoinment date. My schedule date was 5/30 and I went the next day I recieved the notice and get it done. You don't have to call or anything, just go there and they won't ask you anything. Get it done now, so you can get your ID soon.

Good Luck

Thank you Stunning. i went and i got the fp done. also i received my interview apointement the 5/21/09. i was verry happy and so excited. unfortunatly today 5/22/09 i received another letter from them telliing me that my scheduale has been canceled.
its a scary a bit. any reason why?
 
We had finished our interview at San Jose office at the 4th week of April and haven't received the Oath letter yet. Anyone has received their letter for the same period?
 
Interview Letter Received Today!!!!!!

*woot woot* got my interview letter today in the mail!

thanks for the responses as to where the ceremony will be held. i thought it'd be other than campbell, since my father had his oath ceremony at the santa clara fairgrounds last year. i guess they needed a lot of space due to the large number of n-400 applications for the electioin.

Not sure the reason they schedule an Interview and cancel. But, you should be excited the fact that San Jose N-400 is moving fast. The main reason, recently they changed Nebraska office to Phoenix and ever since there are a lot of excitement among all applicants. If you look back cases in the previous years, you will notice a different experience.

Any guess why they could not make a decision at the time of the interview?

I was given no reason for the need for review. The only thing that was out of the orfinary in my case was that I had one trip that lasted longer than 6 months outside the United States. However, I had documents proving that I had to be abroad for education reasons. I guess that this is what trigerred the review, but still I don't thing it should have taken them 6 months+ from the interview date to review the dates!!

This forum has been EXTREMELY helpful in my case. Good luck to anyone who is still in the process
 
Got FP letter. I see some people being refused early FP. Any inputs on what does one need to do to ensure early FP. My FP date is 06/19 but I intend to go tomorrow
