Aren't all background checks done before scheduling interview? Since I already rcvd the "Congrats..." letter, I am assuming it's just not been sent out. Will schedule infopass.
Thanks.
There has been a mysterious background check after the interview that has tied some people's oath letter. It is still a mystery what the exact nature of that background check it is. However, comments from a poster could suggest that it is at least a IBIS check. Anyway, the Infopass should potentially clear this doubt. I think one can be pretty sure nowadays that at time of interview name check has been completed and won't be done again. With USCIS one is never 100% sure 
It could be that it was sent to supervisor for review as I suggested. There are usually not many things that delay the oath letter except the mysterious background checks or supervisor approvals.

question for those whose oath letter has not been recieved
Out of curiosity, I have the following questions for people who are experiencing delay in getting the oath letter.
1. Was there any unusual questions during the interview process.
2. Did you travel a lot during last 5 years (Hurcan memtioned IBIS check)
3. How did you get your GC through "Adjustment of Status" or. "Consular Processing"
Thank you.

VodkaMartini007,
I would suggest to take it easy and think that you're probably looking to oath in January, in the meantime you can drink a few of those VodkaMartinis to make the wait lighter
Yup, I agree with Hurcan, have you tried the recipie in Casino Royal ?

Oath done (11/28/07; 01:00 pm)
I completed the Naturalization process by taking oath today (11/28/07; 01:00 pm) at Campbell Heritage Theater.
No surprises at the ceremony; a lot has been written by others in the forum.
448 people from 61 country took oath.
The ceremony lasted about 1hr 25 mts.
I applied for passport (normal delivery) at Santa Clara post office.
Good luck to everyone.

Oath Done
Finally done with our oath process.
Everything as discussed in this thread except the asked me for the proof of my speeding ticket that I got couple of hours after my interview in July. I said I went to the traffic school but do not have the proof with me now. Somehow after talking to couple of people they wrote some notes on my oath letter and let me know. So be prepared. No documentation was asked for my travel outside USA except they noted on the letter of how long I had gone out of country.

If it makes you feel better, I passed my interview on Oct. 10th and have not yet received an oath letter. I found out from an Infopass appointment that my application was approved the same day as my interview, and the officer could not understand why I wasn't sent an invitation to the Nov. 28th ceremony. Seems like my file fell behind a desk and no one has noticed it thus far.
I have contacted Senator's Feinstein's office to see if they can motivate some one at USCIS to retrieve my file from behind the desk.
Anyway, Cheers for that Vesper
Just curious. Why are you talking about Seattle Interview/Oath in this San Jose Timeline thread? Did you start your application in San Jose and moved there?
Date when I became a perm resident : 02/07/2003
Date when my wife became a perm resident : 02/27/2003
Mailed in both N-400 applications today to CSC on 12/1/2007, just under the 90 days deadline.
Got a few questions:
1) How long before I can expect to see the checks cashed ?
2) How long before the receipt is sent ?
3) How long before the FP notice is sent ? I will be out of the country for 2 weeks from the middle of Jan.
4) Ideally how long before we get to the interview ?
thanks

We just received the IL letter by mail. I have to go to India on Dec. 5th and come back on Jan 14,08 but they give my IL date Jan 8, now very difficult to get return ticket on last week of Dec or 1st week of Jan, so I need to reschdule interview.
OR
"I need to cancel the trip and attend interview and complete this citizenship process".
What is your opinion about reschduling process and how long probably it will take for next interview date?
Please advise.. Lots of REAL EXPERTS here, I am very confused.
Thanks a lot guys... Happy Days!

Ahsieh.. i agree with you 98.73%... i just have one comment.. can you please update your signature at the end to show the interview date 01/11/2008.....
I think he meant 01/08/08, which is indicated in the spreadsheet.

OK. Just updated my signature. Thanks for the reminder.
So, your DO in LA is as slow as, if not worse than, SJC, huh?
Hi tt,
You can find answers to most of your questions from our tracking spreadsheet, whose link is listed in my signature.
You are fine with your travel. It used to be about 2 months between PD and FP notice, but for the latest applicants it seems like it is now 3 months.
The spreadsheet did not track the date for check cashing.
For me it took 3 weeks from when I mailed the forms.
By the way, you have a lot of posts already, huh?
thanks ahsieh
Hi ahsieh,
I used to be pretty active on these boards during the 485 phase 5 yrs ago
I found out that I fall under the SF office not SJ, it used to SJ for the 485.
Thanks for the answers and the link to the spreadsheet.
I will be out of the country for about 16 days only , so I am hoping that the FP notice will not create any trouble.
regards
