Wait a few days. When you will receive that letter, I guess it will be invitation to the Oath (my point is they did mistake on the online status). Less likely, but possible, they want something easy to send them. Don't worry! (although I would worry too in your place, USCIS is a Pandora box, I will never sleep good until I'll done with them)
Dave... Sorry, but if you adopt a kid older 16, she cannot become a US citizen. It works only if child under 16, or between 16 and 18 when siblings adopted together. She should remove condition with her mother, and she will be able to apply for citizenship after 5 years from her first green card, Again, sorry... That is from my personal experience. My husband adopted my kids, oldest was 17 when we started, and I studied it. I knew he can become a citizen only if it will be made for all three kids in one day. Even if we had it so close and finished all cases at one day, we lost this possibility because our judge didn't like immigrants and signed the order after my son turn 18 (just three days!). We were mad, but couldn't change it. My daughters are citizens, I'm in process, and my son will apply after two years.
Still, your step-daughter can have some benefits being your daughter, but not for the immigration.
