This is so confusing, I fear USCIS playing with our feelings because mines went from January 2021 to December 2020. Unless God makes something happen that is some insane timeline especially because I have not gotten my Fingerprints taken.

I guess its never accurate and just a system date. My oath is in 2 weeks and it setup my completion date to 7 months. Iol

I had my interview at Des Moines last Friday. It was quick and straight to the point.

The IO checked my home passport although expired, my 10 year resident card and driver's license. Afterwards, it was civic test.

How many amendments does the constitution have?

Who wrote the declaration of independence?

What did the declaration of independence do?

What is the political party of the president?

What are the two major political parties in the United State?

I cannot remember the last one. But went straight to English and followed up with Yes and No questions. After that, I got the congratulation letter and a notification for that I was in line for oath ceremony while I was still in their office. On my drive home, I got the email that I have been scheduled. Waiting for the letter😊

Just came here to sat that the estimates at my.uscis.gov are totally random. I had my ceremony on Nov 23 and estimated case completion time was January 2021. Just out of curiosity, I logged in today and now it says June 2021, LOL. So don't put too much into that estimate. Fingers crossed everyone gets their application approved soon!

Congrats. I have my interview coming up now in less than 3 weeks. The next step after that will be the oath, assuming that I can pass the exam and interview. My question is: what happens to your USCIS account after the oath? does it close? do they upload your naturalization certificate there?

This is a good question. Maybe start a new thread if you don't get an answer? Also wondering about that.

I guess it remains open (i doubt uploading the certificate), but why is it of interest? Do you miss checking it back frequently? :D

My account is still active. I suppose because i will stop logging in, it will become dormant and eventually get deleted. 
They do not upload naturalization certificate there - you will only get a physical copy at the ceremony.
