Sea_rp: congratulations on clearing the interview hurdle!
I seem to recall that posters here consistently report 70 or so people at each weekly oath ceremony. In that case, it would make sense for them to begin to aggregate oath takers now, about seven weeks ahead of 7/4, if they want to get to 500 people (7x70=490).
Adamsavich: welcome to the board. You are the first August '07 filer that we have seen. Thanks for filling a gap in my spreadsheet (I'll explain below). Re your questions, I think the collective experience of this and other boards is that the online status checks cannot be relied upon. However, since the later July '07 filers are now receiving their ILs, I imagine you are not too far off receiving an IL of your own. Fingers crossed.
I maintain a spreadsheet (newest version attached to this post) tracking the timelines of all on this board that report progress. I have added you and your PD but obviously don't have any other data. Could you report dates for your other key milestones (see spreadsheet). It all helps provide information to those going through this process. Thanks in advance!
