Usually how far in advance do they let you know interviews will take place?

Most people get the letter around 5 weeks before interview date.

Just had my interview! Approved on the spot and in line for oath ceremony scheduling, though my online status says my application is in quality review.

 

We went through the civic questions first, then the writing and speaking test. After I passed the IO went through my application, confirming most of my basic information, then ran through the roster of "Yes/No" questions.

 

Civic questions that I was asked:

- Why does the flag have 13 stripes?

- Why does the flag have 50 stars?

- Who is the Chief Justice?

- If the President and Vice President can no longer serve, who becomes President?

- What are two ways that American citizens can participate in their democracy?

- What ocean is on the East Coast?

 

They did not ask me for any additional evidence, though I brought a boatload. Maybe the appearance of my big file box was enough, haha. I opted out of my name change, so they had me sign off on the change on my application, then once more on a form confirming that I was willing to take the oath of allegiance. After that, she printed a piece of paper that showed instructions while waiting for my oath ceremony to be scheduled.

I can see the interview notice from USCIS and a second notice from the local office named for me and my partner on my USPS informed delivery but it hasn't been delivered yet. Marked for Saturday, I really hope it comes through today!!

 

By the looks of it, since it's from the local office and names my partner I am assuming is an in invitation for a combo interview but I can't be sure until it's delivered. Don't let me down again USPS!!

Ditto. Got a couple of letters from USCIS and one was for N-400 and the other was for I-751 that said US citizen spouse has to be there because there's a chance they'll interview us both after the scheduled N-400 interview.

If it is a combo interview, the I-751 part will be conducted first.

Thanks. The wording on the letter is kinda confusing but it'd make sense if the interview for I-751 is before the one for N-400

Question - My N-400 interview invite says it'll be at 9:00AM, and the I-751 letter says that my spouse has to be present on that day because the N-400 interview may be preceded by an interview for the I-751. Does this mean that the I-751 interview could start before 9:00AM? We were planning on arriving at the USCIS office around 8:20AM-8:30AM - and we are NOT planning on bringing our toddler to the interview (just his birth certificate); hopefully they don't need our child to be present.

Your child does not need to be present (nor would I recommend taking the child).  I think your arrival time is fine.

USCIS usually schedule the interviews for after your 3 or 5 year anniversary
