Thank you to everyone for sharing your experiences! It’s been great help and calming. I’m sharing my timeline to give back and hopefully help others. I did not take any steps other than just patiently waiting for the day to come.

Congratulations
My prohibition completed on June 5 but still no change in oath status. Should i be worried.
Yes, the virtual oath is scheduled for July 20; I got this update on June 19th.
My background comes back in progress again today and they requested 2 fingerprint, I did it today
This sometimes happens for applicants when they've already turned green and then (it seems) decide they need to request fingerprints (again?). Can't say for all cases but it doesn't seem to mean that it all starts over, just that they need to re-set the background bit in the system in order to issue fingerprint request - and many/most seem to go fine after that, i.e. it often goes green again after the fingerprints bit is done again.
In other words: now that you've done the fingerprints, probably no reason to worry.
