Ok, so I'm a citizen now!!!.Wish everyone luck.
I want to change/ correct my first name. I will file for a legal name change tomorrow. Do I need a new citizenship certificate or is it enough to just include the court decision of the name change in the passport application?? is there a forum for name change?? Thank you.
I don't think so, but you can start a new thread with that question..

Thankyou. the officer said everything looks fine on my file. Is it going to effect my oath date too?
My status online didn't change till a few days before my oath although I got my oath date right after my test, so I don't think that affects anything at all. No one can tell what really happens really, so we just gotta be patient :)

People have been waiting for a year after in process, so your status is well within the regular time. There's nothing you can do but wait patiently :)
You are over 55 so you'll only have to go for the interview and oath, no test, so that's all the more reason to just relax and enjoy the rest of the summer! Take care!
