Okay. Thanks for the reply. Money was never an issue here. You can not get the babysitting at 5/6 AM as the travel from home to downtown is involved. Anway... I wanted to provide my experience to help others in similar situations. 

Just received the Oath letter (can't believe that it came so fast). The Oath for my wife is on 3/08/16.
So, the entire process since the complaint was filed, took exactly 3 calendar months before the Oath's date.

So, $400+USPS fee (around $90) = was worth it!
For those who hesitate: do it, you can! We've just proved it!
Plus, you'll get extra judicial experience and will educate yourself!

I had my interview at 10:15 on Jan 26 (Seattle, WA). I arrived at 9:45 but they wouldn't let me check in til exactly 15 mins before the interview time. They ran late so they only called me at saw me at 10:45. It took 30 mins. The officer interviewing me was quite young and initially very formal but by the end he was chatting with me, really friendly and nice. Went over every page of my application and asked me to answer pretty much all the questions orally to check my answers against the form. He checked my travel and asked about trips I have done between application date and today.

Hi everyone, I just got my passport stamped today and I am so happy, that's why I come here to share with you guys.

Feb 10 afternoon I saw my status of my case changed to approval ( so happy) they said that they gonna send me a notice letter
But I have a trip on Feb 16. And I am sure there is no way it can come before that.
