Goodsaint:- They are right, they don't know a lot......When you call the 1800 you're basically talking to an agent on behalf of the USCIS (normally known The National Customer Service Center agent) and not Immigration Officer. When you call, have your A-number, any receipt number issued by Immigration, and the last notice you received about your case. You need to let them know the Office and your situation. If you are not satisfied their answers, then request to talk an Immigration Officer.

I have a feeling that you'll get it today or tomorrow anyway...

No oath yet. I am so sick with these incompetent SOBs. Every case is different, yea... just tell me why my case is different and I will wait forever.

Nothing different about your case, I think they want to make sure you took care of those speeding, red light, stop sign tickets...

BUT for show, you said you want to 8/20 ceremony, so watch your maibox is coming really soon.
 
I think the folks who had the interview scheduled for 07/21 have not yet received the N-445. My spouse is still waiting for the Notice of Naturalization Oath ceremony.

See my sig. Our N445 has different (mailing) dates for me and wife. We had interview at exactly the same date / time, but the N445 letter was mailed 5 days apart. Until this time, the process was moving concurrently. My first thought was they were mailing it alphabetically (per last name) for Campbell scheduling / paperwork sorting purposes, but you never know. Hope you get it soon.

Goodsaint: Yes, what Stunning mentioned is true. My call was transferred to a Immigration officer as the system didn't have any info. He told me the oath date and he did mention that they generally don't update the online case status.

Congrats.
Could you post your interview experience ?

Interview was very straightforward. The IO gave me the oath, then walked through my form verifying that all the information on it was current. I gave him a paper which listed the details of some business trips I had made in between the filing process, which he added to my file. Then he asked me a few straightforward questions:
1) How many senators from each state?
2) what ocean lies to the East of the US?
3) What is the rule of law?
4) Who is the commander in chief of the armed forces?
5) Name one right from the 1st amendment

I forget the 6th question.
After this I had to read a simple English sentence and write another simple one.
That was it - I was handed a congratulatory note, and told that I should get my Oath letter within 10 days.
 
My wife scheduled a infopass appointment at San Jose USCIS office this morning to enquire about her N-445 Letter. The Immigration office looked into the case file and told her that the oath ceremony is scheduled for 08/20 @3PM. The officer advised that the USCIS office can issue a duplicate N-445 oath ceremony letter 3 days before the oath ceremony in case we don't receive it by mail.

I have called the 800 number several times and asked them to transfer me to the IO. Everytime they told me that in order to talk to the IO, I would have to go to the local office as they don't have any IO available at the 800 number. Perhaps I am calling a different 800 number. What number did you call?
 
I called to FBI and got the confirmation that FP clear and sent back to USCIS on 04/16/09, then I called to USCIS and they told me to wait, because they currently work on November 2008 cases.

Any advices?

Jcuervo:- The work status they gave you is the same on the USCIS website. What you need is to talk to an Immigration Officer. Make an Infopass and go to the office and you'll have better chance in getting more information on your case. The people you talked to have a limited info. that you yourself can easly get from the web.

I applied on 4/20/09 and will perticipate 8/20 Oath Ceremony.

goodsaint: I checked both the letter I received in my Interview day and the Oath letter and they have no # to call, but indicated to write if you can’t attend the scheduled date.

I'm still digging and I'll let you know if I find anything.

Did you get the letter today?
 
no nothing in the mail today. thanks for asking though.

greenmushroom, Good luck to you on the OL enquiry at San Jose USCIS. From our experience, the San Jose USCIS will not issue a duplicate OL three days prior to the Oath ceremony. This was communicated to us by the Immigration Officer. Try your luck.
