Ok, so a little more details on my recommendation for approval at the interview yesterday.

I arrived 45 mins early (12:45 appointment) and handed in my letter at the check in window and was told to have a seat until I was called. While sitting I noticed a flat screen was displaying the 100 civics question and their respective answers, so I took the time to quiz myself one last time (as were a lot of other people sitting close by). After sitting for about 35 mins I was called to be interviewed by a pleasant lady who introduced herself and asked me to follow her to her office. It was upstairs and we used the elevator (in awkward silence) to get there.

Once in the office, she asked me to raise my right hand and gave me the oath. I then had a seat and was asked for my passports, ID and green card. She told me we were going to start with the civics questions and the reading and writing. I passed all of them and went on to the application. She verified my info and went into the "yes or no" questions. She then asked me to sign the application and gave me a piece of paper that verified my information was correct. She said that would be the info on the certificate (mind you, she hadn't given me the N-652 yet, but I took a lucky guess on whether I was approved or not lol). she made a comment about the next ceremony being in August and THEN said "congratulation you are recommended for approval" while handing me the N-652.

By then were finished and she offered to walk me out. At the elevator I said thank you and she said congratulations again.

The interview literally took 15 mins. She did not ask me for anything other that what I mentioned above.

Good luck to everyone!

Congratulations on your approval. I guess you felt a huge relief after going through that 15mins.

Let's be positive that the remaining applicants, including me will get a quick 15mins interview that yields an approval.

It's safe to say your long 2.5 hour wait did pay off.

Just wanted to congratulate you on your recommendation for approval.

Just a question, does the immigration officer still give you a piece of paper to sign (and check if your info are correct) even if they say it says on your interview results, "a decision cannot yet be made"?

She told me to wait for like 30 days. My friend had his interview the same day as you , he was told to wait until August. Honestly, I don't feel what they usually tells you in fairfax is accurate. I saw another member who was told to wait for 2 months, she got the oath letter in 9 days. The people who were interviewed last month, almost all of them got their oath letter. So in average it takes 1-2 months.

Hello Everyone!

I have been following this forum for a while, but never commented. It has been helpful and as a way of saying thank you, I'd like to share my story to help others!

I filed the application under the 3 year rule, and my journey started when I sent my N400 package on April 18th, 2015, I sent it a month before my 3rd year green card anniversary. They received it and the priority date was April 21. I had my fingerprints done a month later, on May 18th. A week later they sent me a notification saying that I was in line for an interview. On June 5th they scheduled my interview. And my interview was today July 13th in Boston.

I had my husband come with me for support, since I was a bit nervous. My appoint was at 2:15 and we arrived at 2pm. I waited about 20 mins,(in which during that time they called 4 people in) and this really young woman officer called me in. The officer was extremely nice! She wasn't much older than 30. Anyway, as we walked in she asked if I had all the docs with me, passport and green card, and drivers license. We got to her office and asked me if I preferred to do the civics test first, or go through the application. I was puzzled, why was she being so nice! haha when everyone is always complaining about having a bad experience! I chose to go through the app first. and then we moved on to the test. She had me write "The white house is in Washington D.C" and to read a sentence that I can't remember. After that she went to ask me the 10 questions. I forgot all of them, but she did ask what was the capital of my state? (super easy!) who is the executive branch?!!!! and omg I don't remember the other ones but since I answered all the first 6 questions, she Congratulated me on passing the test! After that she asked me if there were any documents that I wanted to submit, and again I was confused, because I thought they were going have me show them the originals of the marriage certificate, or my husband's birth certificate, and she said that she didn't need anything, because she already had them! She did not ask me for a proof of residency or marital union. I was happy! Although I did prepare for this, I brought a giant folder with all the documents we have together, w2s, tax returns, tax transcripts, car loan, bank accounts,lets.... So that was it! took less than 15 mins! She told me I was going to receive a notification in the mail as to when my oath was going to be and to bring my green card for surrender. YAY!!!!!!!!

So if your interview is coming up, please don't be nervous, just study the civics questions and you should be all set!
