I did it on time - can't do oath before 3 year anniversary anyway. While I was sitting waiting for mine, somebody walked in, showed appointment notice just to hear "We're very sorry but we don't do walk-ins here".

I know they do as I did it ~3 years ago during AOS, just people there were having a bad day.

I did a biometrics walk-in, and was placed in line for interview after 2 days. That definitely sped up my process because I walked-in 3 weeks ahead of my scheduled biometrics.

Goodluck!

If you apply 90 days before you become eligible for naturalization (5 years after green card or 3 years based on marriage), then it is unlikely that doing an early walk-in will make any difference. You'll have to wait until you are eligible for naturalization before you can take your oath.

If you apply close to or after you become eligible for naturalization, then doing an early walk-in might speed things up.

Whether or not they let you do an early walk-in and whether or not it will speed things up will also depend on your local office.
