When I will get my Citizenship certificate?
USCIS (Immigration Department) may complete interview well before I complete my 5th year of LPR status. But they will issue the Naturalization certificate and allow me to take oath only after I complete my 5th year LPR status. Is it right?.
Update:It seems that they interview just like they allow you to submit your application 90 days before you complete LPR of 5th year. Does it make meaning Lisa?

While you are allowed to submit your N-400 "up to" 90 days before you can BECOME a US citizen, it's smarter to wait at least one week longer, meaning 'til you are only 80 or 83 days away.
The reason is that when you have your interview and you are not eligible to BECOME a US citizen at that time, which is quite possible, then your file goes on the bottom of a stack reading WAIT, and that would throw you a month or two back.
By the way, you won't get a Certificate of Citizenship (N-600); you'll get a Certificate of Naturalization (N-400). You'll receive it after the Oath Ceremony, before leaving the building. If you also changed your name as part of the naturalization process, that's when your new name will become active.
You can not get a certificate of naturalization until AFTER you take the oath.
How are you managing to have interviews before your 5th anniversary?
they should not interview you until after the due time
and your ceremony cannot be too early
