Personally, I'm going to go "suited and booted". The invitation to the naturalization ceremony states that it is "a solemn and meaningful event, [and] USCIS asks that you dress in proper attire to respect the dignity of this event." I think that gives a clue; and I want to dress in a manner that befits the significance and importance of the occasion, and is respectful to the ceremony, the surroundings and my fellow new citizens. Shorts or jeans never crossed my mind; and I cannot for one second fathom the couple who showed up basically in beachwear.  

No

You will be in front of a judge. You need to dress accordingly.

I guess not having pride in one self is not a show stopper for USCIS. The show must go on!

As others have stated, I can confirm from my interview one week ago that it's the 2008 version. 

I also hope that they will be fine. 

Thanks for the good wishes. No, not an issue for me; I had my interview yesterday, July 31st - and got approved, I'm happy to say. So I'm now awaiting scheduling of the oath ceremony.

Thanks for that explanation. Personally, I was an LPR for well over 5 years before I applied for naturalization, so this 90-day window never came up.
