Sorry to butt-in on this thread...but....
To the OP-Yes, you are allowed to bring your family and friends to the oath ceremony! And by all means, bring them along with you! But bear in mind that they might have to wait awhile, they might not all be seated, and that you might be limited to the amount of guests that you can bring. Nevertheless, I believe that a special occasion such as this should be celebrated, with the ones that you love and care about....
As for children/babies at the oath ceremony....
As much as I like children and don't mind them being in public, I understand that others might not agree with me about this issue. So I understand it from that point of view, as well.
It's a personal decision as to whether or not one brings their children to the oath ceremony or not. It helps that the children are there with him to celebrate such a joyous family occasion. I do think that this is an important event and feel that it is important for family members to attend. And just because a child is there, that doesn't mean that they should be excluded from such. True, they might not remember the event and/or might cause a fuss there. But the one who is being naturalized will remember the event, and with their child them not being there, it wouldn't be the same experience for their family. How would one feel if their child was excluded from every other family and/or special event?
So if you or any of your guests have children, by all means, I encourage you to bring them along too. Just make sure they are well-behaved and under control, and you should be ok there. I brought my then 3month old son to my oath ceremony (though it was a priavte oath ceremony, for various other reasons), and I wouldn't have it any other way! He's part of my family, and why should he be excluded?...
Sure, it is easy to say that one should hire a sitter for the day. But some people can't make such arrangements. Or some people choose to have their children there with them, regardless, for sentimental reasons. Children are members of society, and should not be discriminated against, just because of those who don't like children.
If the USCIS is adamant about children being in the ceremony, then don't have ceremonies at all, where one is allowed to bring their family and friends.
Or better yet, (I'm joking here)....Provide babysitting services....$675 paid in the application fee...I'm sure one can throw in a sitter or two..lol......
To that judge mentioned in another post....
You don't yell at kids and/or their parents like that! And you don't kick a person out of a ceremony just because they have a child.
I'm sorry..I think the judge went way out of line here....
If the child is being distuptive, then kindly ask the parent to take the child out, and then come back in when the child is behaved.
The person who is being naturalized paid for that privillege to be naturalized, and not to be yelled at!
Hmm..I wonder if that guy ever did get naturalized? If not...He should ask for a refund...And file a complaint against the judge
Nevertheless, good luck to Jules67 with your oath ceremony coming up! Congratulations! Good luck!
And yes, do post about your oath ceremony experience on VJ too!

My case finally got an update!!!!!
 

Great! i'm on the next line for VSC May filers, hopefully I will get my biometrics letter this week. crossing fingers.

So I hadn't checked my mailbox in a few days because the only letter I was waiting for didn't appear in the USPS Informed Delivery Daily Digest.
 
Turns out my biometric letter had in fact arrived along with a separate notification that the discrepancy (A# typographical error on I-751) was corrected
 
Looks like their starting to filter through for us May VSC filers.

Yes welcome. As VSC filers we are all in this year long journey together. 
 

I think we need this. Given the fact that its going to be a year long process. 
Every time a CSC update happens, I spend ridiculous amounts of times wondering and stressing and my focus at work goes down. It's not fair to VSC filers, there is no other way to put it. 
 
We cant change VSC processing times, however as VSC filers we are all in this together. 

Hi VSC Filers, 
 
I have updated the excel sheet to track all VSC May 2017 filers. The excel sheet is available here https://drive.google.com/open?id=1rYuqklt5o9JwSWTiLGeUm4cXvTpYxaKJmnESG-o35s0
Creating a separate link to VSC filers seems more productive than clustering VSC and CSC together. CSC seems to be fast in processing/updates and its only adding stress to VSC filers (atleast in my case). 
 
Thanks!
 
 

I would be disappointed if mods have a problem with this. Looking at all the threads there are no fixed rules for threads governing filers. Seems to be purely based on users as it should be. 
I love how quickly CSC serves and I am happy for the CSC filers. However as a VSC filer my stress levels have gone significantly up. 

thanks!  

Here is what I found hope it helps! Got it from the uscis website!
The current transfer notice currently contains the following phrase: “CRI89 approved removal of conditions (I89).” That statement means that the biometric portion of the case has been successfully transferred; it does not, however, mean that the petition itself was approved.
 

We're going to enjoy some away time in Ixtapa at the end of the month God willing, hopefully the biometrics will be received before our travel and we can get that squared away for wife/daughter before our departure.  If not, my sister will be watching our mailbox while we are out of the country for roughly 12 days and should the schedule fall for the biometrics appointment during our absence, she knows how to submit a request for a later date which is no biggie.  We're patient since this process will be a while either ways!
 
During AOS, our local office in my hometown allowed an early walk-in for biometrics since we were going to be on vacation the week that the scheduling hit so I'm also hopeful we can take our chances and try if needed before we depart as well since we have our travel tickets, hotel bookings, etc. to show for. 

Yes that's what I'm seeing, just wish I can receive the biometric appointment  so that I can plan summer vacations
