You might get the fastest N-400 adjudication in the history of USCIS medal.

The interview letter (and date) is in your online account under "Documents". No need to wait for the letter in the mail.

1) It may not be there

2) Security may ask for original letter to enter the building

It is there if the interview has been scheduled. And the letter is the exact same you get in the mail.

With receipt notice, what you get online is black and white copy of receipt notice. The original notice is printed on watermarked green paper. Is it different for interview notice? E.g. I can easily tell the difference between original notices and their copies in MyUSCIS. I'd expect the same for interview notice.

Nice, at that rate you might even end up interviewing too early if you filed as the 90-day window opened up...

What happens in that case?   Decision can’t be made, or denial?

You will have your oath after the 90 days elapses

I actually became a resident last January 2020

Did you break continuous residency? Why didn't you file under General Provision (5 year rule)?

I also got GC in 2020, filed under 5 year rule, even though happily married. Simply because it's much easier to file and I wouldn't have to burden my spouse with interview (hoping local field office would allow guests at oath though).

I filed under 3yr minus 90.  NOA and biometrics notices were sent within 2 days of filing. Interview was scheduled 9 days after my 3 years, oath was 2 weeks later.  I get the impression the interview scheduling was to ensure I met the requirement.

In most cases this is how it goes...

In rare cases, some got naturalized early. It is troublesome from legal point of view...

Immigrant can always verify (themselves or using legal advice) they're eligible to take an oath and propose rescheduling for oath to take place at later date if it's early.

I just checked my N400 and I filed under 'spouse of US Citizen' so I think I should be fine and been resident since 2020. Still crazy how fast the process was.
