1) My NOA1 said 180 days...
2) Do you know how you find out whether your name check has been cleared at FBI???
3) After I got fingerprinted, the next time I will hear from them is a letter to the interview? is that it? or do they send some other notices in between fingerprint and interview time???
4)Is there any way to find out the status besides all they say is "in process", could they give me more solid answers, eg. next step is background check, your file has sent to DO, etc... that'd help more.

1) add 180 days to date of NOA letter - and you theoretically can start complaining to USCIS then
2) there used to be a way to call FBI, but they dont take calls anymore, but you better not bug FBI unless you know that people with PD later then yours are getting interview letters from your local office
3) yes after fingerprints you wait for interview letter
4) the only guaranteed way - is INFOPASS as i said, you can make them as many as you want, but it only makes sense to worry if your PD is coming up in your local office, until then it will be just waiting in line like everybody else.
Detailed explanation of USCIS N400 FBI Name Check http://www.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=136848
Thank you so much for your respond and help! I called FBI today and check on the status on my fingerprint, they just said my fingerprints was sent to them on 1/26/08 (date that I took FP), and they have sent it back to INS... that's all they could tell me when I asked "does that mean my FP was good?"
I made an infopass appt on 4/11/08, so I'll see if I could get more info...
It sucks that I can't check the status of my name/background check...
I'm new to this site, I think I added my timeline, not sure if it's gonna show up.
how do i publish my timeline so that it shows up below my message everytime I post msgs?

Thanks a lot:)
I have reached the end of the tunnel finally. I had my oath ceremony in Pittsburgh today. One advice for anybody taking oath in court in Pittsburgh. Go at least an hour and a half early. You'll spend that hour looking for parking since all the garages are full, and you will have to park--if you find one- and walk 15-20 mins back to the courthouse.
The ceremony was a very pleasant experience. It was scheduled for 9am. They checked us in, and we signed our certificates of naturalization. At 10am. the Assistant U.S. attorney recommended us for naturalization and we were sworn in. We then listened to a couple of speeches from different organizations, took the oath of allegiance, and we were presented with the certificates. We were then invited to the reception at a nearby hotel. I chose not to go, but rather went downstairs, and purchased certified copies of the name change decree, and went to have our own celebration.
Goodbye USCIS. I'm not looking forward to seeing you again
