San Jose, CA - N-400 Timeline

It used to be possible to go earlier, but lately people said they were not being allowed to do early FP. On the other hand it doesn't seem to make any difference
 
Early FP done in Oakland

Mailed : 12/1/07
PD : 12/10/07
ND :12/14 for spouse, 12/18/07 for me
FP letter mailed by INS : 1/10/08
FP letter received : 1/14/08
Went to Oakland with e-ticket copy at 8:30 am -- guy at the door called his supe and allowed us in for early FP.
Early FP done: 1/15/08
Actual FP appointment: 2/05/08 ( that was the date we were coming back -- so would have been hard to rush to the FP app from the airport )
Guess the wait is on for IL now
 
Latest Citizenship Process Update

A local Newspaper (Chinese) just revealed that USCIS has finished rehiring 700 additional personnel (some maybe retiree) to help speeding up Citizenship Applications. If this is true, this is certainly good for all of us who are still waiting. It is nice to see CIS is working to improve its service.
 
Me & my wife received my IL on 1/11/08 and its for 3/4/08. I heard somewhere that from now onwards the test is going to be tougher. Does anybody have any idea when this takes effect or already in effect?

-------------------
Priority date: 6/6/07
FP done : 8/28/07

I am curious to know if anyone that completed interview before Nov. 10th and is waiting for oath letter has heard from USCIS lately.
 
As promised by Officer D to my wife, received the Oath letter on Friday. The oath ceremony is at USCIS Center in San Jose on Feb 14, 2008.

All the best!

Congratulations, NetiNeti and Wow - that was fast. I don't think I have seen any of the folks that had their interviews in mid-Dec get their Oath letters. Was your wife's application handled by the San Jose office from the beginning or did you move into this area after you had filed? Thanks.

He mentioned that his wife got a special arrangement from a nice officer during interview. Very nice of him.
 
Jan 23rd oath

Could someone with Jan. 23rd oath date tell me at what time the ceremony begins? My oath is in Feb. but I might drive by the theatre to see what it will be like around the oath time.
