Biometrics complee at the Manchester, NH Field Office. We arrived 40 minutes early and were the only car in the parking lot. Breezed through the metal detector and to the fingerprint desk and were again the only people in the room. Filled out the single page form and turned it in. Within five minutes the fingerprints were complete and we were headed out--thank you Manchester. Nice, helpful staff/security and a clean building. I noticed an oath auditorium and asked how often they do the oath ceremony and they said there are three sites in town and each site performs one oath ceremony each month. So after passing the interview (positive thoughts) it should be fairly short order to get into an oath ceremony. Good luck everyone!!

I have read the same topic asked multiple times but I understand the reason it is being asked.
The internet has 1,000s of responses and can say contrary things so it feels safer to come to a community of people who have done the exact thing you are trying to do and are members to learn and help others.
English is not everyone's first language on here and even for educated English speakers the content can be confusing. I just received approval (twice) for the same AP I-131 and yet never received a card even when the USCIS website said it was sent. Why? because I received an I-512 combination card. I did not even know they existed, they weren't on the application that is part of the process (I-485, I-765, and I-131 together) and so I know they are unexpected twists and turns.
Also, when I have posted question A because the information on the packet wasn't clear some of the answers weren't clear. In other words just because a question is answered doesn't mean it answered the question and might need to be repeated.
Part of the reason people post is for reassurance. They may know the answer and yet they see people with the same file date get documents before them and the uncertainty sets in. Sometimes they ask a question to verify they are correct because the lack of information from the USCIS can cause doubts in even the most prepared and confident applicants.
Is there some laziness or repetition? Yes but that is why a community like this is so helpful. For the most part we are patient understanding and willing to explain multiple times if necessary to assist others in achieving their dream.
I see it is a frustration to you and the solution is simple, don't read the duplicates. There are others on here who it does not bother and they will answer the questions to help. We all have our pet peeves and this is one of yours and that is fine but it won't change and I am not sure it should. The open arms aspect of this community is what makes it special and unique.
Just my 2 cents worth

My fiancee interviewed this Tuesday and was approved. She went into embassy and a woman checked her packet 3 and told her what was complete and hat was missing. She had to complete one form and then continued on the process.
At the window for the interview, my fiancee gave three notebooks and a few forms to the officer behind the glass. 1--medical clearance 2--photos of our time together in Thailand to prove we were together along with copies of my tickets to Thailand, and 3--msn chatlogs,4--Thai cell phone bills from. 5--police clearance.
the man then looked through the paperwork and asked the following questions:
1. How did you meet your fiance?
2. How many time he visit?
3. How did he find you?
4. How often you chat?
5. He has children?
6. His children to come to Thailand?
7. Do you have children?
8. How often you talk each other?
9. How you contact him?
10.When was the first time he came to Thailand to meet you?
11. When was the second time he came to thailand to meet you?
12. When will you leave your work to go to the usa?
The man who did the interview was farang, but he did the interview in Thai language.
