I don’t think there’s an official one. I used this one: https://usciscasetracker.com/ which is free and doesn’t require you to logon with your USCIS account info. I also used Lawfully in the beginning and found their stats helpful (only switched to case tracker once the free trial period for Lawfully ended 😊)

FO= Field Office. It’s where you’ll do your interview

In my case I was following via app (Case Tracker), so I first got the notification there. Then I logged on USCIS, documents tab and saw the details for the interview and finally got the letter in the mail only a couple of weeks after that. The interview was scheduled on Dec 26,2023 for Feb 02,2024 - so roughly 5 weeks out. I would not rely on the estimated time for decision showing on the site. That’s just an estimate of processing time for your FO (mine showed 5 months up until the day of the interview/oath ceremony)

I passed my interview today in Mt. Laurel, NJ. Super smooth experience, got there, checked in and was called by the officer about 15 min later. She was friendly and it felt more like a conversation than an actual interview. She started with reviewing my form and corrected some info at my request (I traveled overseas during the Holidays). No vocabulary/ definition questions asked. Then we moved on to the civics questions and the reading/writing portion. I was asked to review the Oath of Allegiance and sign that I was willing to take it. Then I was told I passed the interview and that they were having an oath ceremony in about 1hr so I could be part of it, if I wanted. The ceremony itself was about 25min. All in all, I was in the FO for about 3hr and left as a citizen! As others said, the naturalization has been the smoothest and fastest process in my journey immigration: from form submission to oath ceremony it was exactly 107 days. Good luck to all!
