Here is my experience of same day interview and oath in Seattle.

Boston MA - N-400 Naturalization
I had my N400 interview last week. I passed the English questions without an issue.
Quick background: I was issued 10 year bar and deported in 2005. I had to apply for I601 and I212 (waivers) prior to returning to US. The reason I was deported was because I had overstay after deportation order. I returned to US 2010.
