My questions were easy and just so happens were the same questions I was studying on the drive to the cites.
Did you also get the 1130am ceremony?
Nope, mine is scheduled for 1.45pm. I wonder how many sessions they do in a day? The USCIS officer did say at the interview that by this point, the citizenship ceremonies were were pretty much full for June. He wasn't sure if I would slip in, or would have to wait for one in July.

Congrats! - Do you have a pending i751 or just N400?
Just the N400 - This is my 10th year in the US, doesn't time fly! It was actually the first stimulus check that we received, that prompted me to finally pull the trigger. I thought it would be nice for the US Government to pay for my application

Just checked by status, and found that I had a biometrics reuse letter in my documents folder dated Feb 12. I applied for my N400 in April 2020, and last did biometrics back in 2014 (for removal of Green Card Conditions). Current target date for completion shows as May 2021.
I smiled when I also noticed that they stated in the letter that there wouldn't be a refund of the biometric fee!

We had a small ceremony (less then 10 people - all family) 4 weeks after I arrived in the US to fulfill the requirements of the visa, then we planned a big bash for the following July, where we had 150. This allowed plenty of planning time for the summer bash, and also made that event very stress free and fun - also it was a little warmer!
Good Luck

Congratulations

I had my dad sign for mine when it was delivered - so shouldn't be a problem

Yes your free to move about within the states by air - just make sure you only travel within the 50 states and you won't pass through any customs points, only TSA check points.

From the date on the Green card - it's three years of "residence", not in country time.
So based on your comment, 08/21/2013 - you can apply (3 years - minus 90 days), from around 05/23/16
Good luck

Your K1 Visa expired the moment you entered the US - as long as you marry within 90 days of entering your fine.
However don't exit the US before receiving either AP or a Greencard,as you won't be able to reenter. If your traveling internally in the US, you just need photo ID (drivers license or passport) and have nothing to worry about.
You can (it happened to me) get an emergency AP letter from via an infopass appointment, but those are for emergencies only, not for holidays
-
The K1 Visa expired the moment you went through immigration. Your free to move about the US (don't leave it though until you have AP or a Green Card). For flights within the US, you just require a picture ID. In the case of your fiance, their passport will suffice.
Good luck with the rest of your journey

Edit: misread the post, my view below was for the K1 interview. However I would still think it applies to the AOS interview. Again Good luck
My perspective is wear what feels comfortable in. You want to go into the interview relaxed as you can be, so why add extra stress.
For my interview, I wore smart casual (khakis and shirt). I didn't feel I needed to wear a suit & tie.
Good luck with your interview

I feel for you, the best course of action is as Gegel said, call the embassy and explain the situation. They should be able to issue you a new visa, but I'm guessing you will also need to get a new passport as well (as it'll be in the envelope). You can arrange for a same day one through the passport service.
-
Silly question, but are you sure you got given the sealed envelope (not just the x-ray cd)? From what I remember from my interview, I got a pink slip which was then given to the courier company (along with payment) for them to deliver the envelope a couple of days later, and the x-ray CD. I didn't think they gave the envelopes out at the interview.

All the information is here

I believe you can pay extra for a 2 day expedite
Good luck

I only took a photocopy of my vaccination records, so I don't think you have anything to worry about.
As mentioned above, you can always have them give you the vaccination if anything is missing.
Good Luck

You don't have any of your timeline/profile filled out, so it's difficult to give direct advice for your situation.
However I was in the same position as yourself, and applied for a new passport. I took my new passport and my cancelled one to the interview (Packet 4 docs were all filled out with the new passport details - all other docs (inc police cert) had my old passport number). I was only asked to show my new passport during my interview (London) and had no problems - and if I were to do it again, I would still take both. It pays to cover to all situations. As I understand it - you won't be let into the US without >6 months on your passport anyway, so your going to need a new one anyway.
Good luck
Matthew

It varies for everyone - no straight answer can be given. But from some of the timelines seen currently, best guess would be 12 to 14 months from submission. So for your wife, could be any time from September to November. But, then could also be earlier or later.....!
The joys of dealing with USCIS - anytime you try to make a prediction, your proved wrong 🤪
