Yep, that's exactly what it sounds like. The status does not switch to issued until the visa has been approved. 
Did the embassy keep your passport? If so, everything is great and you should be expecting your passport back within the next couple of weeks. Congrats!

Oath is first week of December early in the morning. Not my favorite time or date and it’s a bit annoying I had to wait 5 weeks after my interview for the oath ceremony because I have international travel coming up not long after, but I should just be happy that the whole process took less than 6 months.

Posted the same thing in the July thread but here it is again.
 
Had my interview today at the NYC field office and passed. I was in the building for less than 30 minutes total. Online already updated to being in line for the oath ceremony, so we’ll see when that is. Hopefully as soon as possible as I have a trip coming up.

Ah gotcha, that’s a little more in depth than my case since it’s just a regular ROC interview. 
Fingers crossed!

According to their timeline, the I-751 was moved to the NBC May 20th, but shortly after they also filed for citizenship so that might have something to do with their quick movement. 

You can’t compare your case to anyone else’s and you also cannot judge a case based on surface-level information that’s may or may not even be accurate. Each case is unique. One couple might actually need a binder of evidence and still gets asked for more, whilst other couples are so low risk that commingling finances are convincing enough. 
 
Your case is already approved so I’m unsure why this would matter to anyone but the adjudicator. Be happy for those with uncomplicated approvals and hope for the best for those still waiting. That’s all there is to it. 

So the letter finally arrived, my case was also sent to the NBC. Kind of frustrating since they still had the option to adjust it in Vermont, but it is what it is. Here’s to another 3-6 months of waiting.

I don’t know why everyone is stressing out about the biometrics appointment. At this stage in our immigration journey, it does not change anything and makes no difference. 
In fact, if you don’t get an appointment, or even better, your old biometrics can be reused, why wouldn’t that be good news? It saves you the time and hassle to show up to a potentially overcrowded ASC for no good reason.
 
The timing really varies depending on the service center. I already had mine, but it was stressful, inconvenient and time consuming. That’s not something I usually put in my to do list. 

Hi again!
 
Don't send in your documents early, not even a day. They can and most likely will reject your package if you try to do that. Wait it out a few more days and use the USCIS calculator to make sure you're on track with the exact date. ROC takes so long currently that it honestly doesn't make much of a difference if you send it in day 1 or day 89 in all reality, most of us will be able to apply and get scheduled for an interview for our N-400's before the I-751 even gets looked at.
 
Edit: Usually they go by the postmark or date on the label, and there will definitely be one, even if you try to be sneaky. 

There is no reason to be concerned whatsoever as long as you have your receipt number.
 
The timing of the biometrics appointment can go from roughly a month after the submission of one's files, to 12 or more months. Some people don’t even have to go at all, which is the best.
 
Bottom line is don’t go crazy over the biometrics appointment. It does not matter in the slightest bit when you’ll be scheduled for it, as long as you have your receipt number.
