Timeline for Interview

[IndianGuy2014]

I applied for my citizenship 90 days before the 5 year period which falls under eligible criteria. I have gotten my finger printing done and waiting for the interview letter. Has anyone gone thru this? What was your experience? Did you get your interview after the actual 5 year mark or was it before and ceremony happened after the 5 year mark? Mine shows that they will be sending a letter between 8 December and 8 March for interview. I am just trying to get some estimates on when to expect the letter and interview.

USCIS Online Case Status for my application says: "On December 11, 2014, we started the interview scheduling process for your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization , Receipt Number NBC*XXXXXXXX. We will send you an interview notice. Please follow any instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your interview notice by March 11, 2015, please go to USCIS website and go to e-request to request a copy of the notice."

Except the dates, is your online status showing the same verbiage?

I opted for online communication and via texts. The only status change I have is the case status that I see when I go on the website. I havent gotten any communication after the fingerprinting via snail mail.

Go to: https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do and enter your Receipt Number. What message do you see....? Do you see similar message as mine (see above)?

One of my relatives filed N-400 in Sep. 16, 2014, 90 days ahead of his 5 year period. And on Dec. 22, he got the Biometric Notice, scheduling FP on Jan. 9, 2015.
