I have the same question! Did you figure this out? So confusing and frustrating!

Haha tell me about it! But with so many delay horror stories on this forum, I am satisfied with atleast getting a date - even if its 6+ months far. Back in 2017 a friend had applied for citizenship and it took her ~6 months, and I was shocked. With my oath on March 11, it would be 20 months...
