We received an Oath Ceremony letter this weekend for a client whose N-400 Naturalization Application had been pending for over 18 months. CIS issued a NOID and alleged false testimony and failure to maintain status. CIS did not provide us with any evidence to support their allegation of false testimony. We filed a FOIA request and a terse response to the NOID. One year later CIS issued a new biometrics notice and within weeks after receiving that notice, an Oath Ceremony letter. It certainly appears that our arguments prevailed as client was not called back for another interview and the case was approved based solely on the response to the NOID.
Sometimes it would be nice for CIS to issue a decision indicating why they agreed with us so that we know they are either on board with our arguments or they just don't want to deal with the issue!
I am glad to see an article about such an important and sometimes overlooked topic.

That does sound like a tough situation with not knowing what worked in the case.
