    Yes marriaged based 3 year. Also NOT a combi interview. 
    I think if you put a ton in with your application you’ll be ok. If you have joint kids, bring their birth certificates, also he was quite serious when he asked about me owning taxes or not, so maybe your tax paperwork.
    otherwise, at least for me, it’s a lot more relaxed than I was expecting!

    My N400 was approved on my interview day, 12 March, and my oath ceremony is on 19 April. So for me it's 5 weeks and 3 days from approval to oath.
     
    Good luck!

    OK INTERVIEW OVER - RESULT - RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL!
     
    Tampa office was really busy. I got there 30 minutes before my appointment time, got my number and quickly found out that regardless of number or appointment time, they go in no particular order. The two different ladies I set next to in the waiting room had been there for over an hour past their appointment time. They were calling out numbers in the 40's when I arrived (mine was 75). One lady had something like 59, but my number was called before hers! 
     
    As for the interview, my officer seemed one of the happier ones. I cracked a few nervous jokes with him and made small talk, which he was fine with. He was an immigrant from Poland, so that was cool to relate to him a little bit about the journey. He started with a few basic questions about me, my wife and how I started on the immigrant journey. He also asked her full name, where we met, when how we started dating, very simple, nothing strenuous. Then moved onto the civics questions. The questions I got were:
    Who becomes president if the president is incapacitated?
    When do we celebrate Independence Day?
    How many Supreme Court justices?
    Capital of my state?
    Who becomes president after president and Vice President?
    Who was the 50th president? - trick question!
     
    Then he moved onto the YES/NO questions from the application. All were rapid fire, I think he went quicker since my first language is English. But still, all simple and easy. When he asked if I would be able to pledge the oath I said "Yes, please when can do we do it?" His reply was....."well I have to approve you first (with a smile)!"
     
    The English test was read " WHO LIVES IN THE White House" and write "THE PRESIDENT LIVES IN THE White House" THE IPADS you have to write on are pretty awful, but they sufficed and he wasn't bothered about poor handwriting. I also had to sign a couple of boxes about reading the oath, as well as a couple of small changes he made to my application.
     
    All quite simple. He didn't ask to see anything extra I brought, including my wifes birth certificate or marriage certificate. He did question if our daughters birth certificate was in there, because he couldn't see it in the file. But then he found it.
     
    He kept talking to himself as he was scrolling through the application on his screen saying, yes, yes, good, good....... Then he printed off the paper and said "Congratulations"!! These were the best words I've been waiting for and was super happy to hear! I asked when the oath ceremony might be, and he said usually within a couple of weeks of the interview. 
     
    Now, I'm sitting back, relaxing, drinking a Mojito celebrating. As much as I want the oath ceremony to happen right away, it's finally relaxing knowing that its actually coming!
     
    Good luck to everyone else waiting. It will happen. It will come. It's A LOT easier than you're expecting.

    Mine changed too.....but I already have my interview date set. I bet this is a standard thing and not meant for everyone. Kind of like the whole case transferred thing on i751s this time last year. I wouldn’t worry too much.

    I feel your pain. Florida's DMV (doesn't matter which office they all) specialize in torture. It very well may be they entered the information wrong. When I took my son to get his FL DL, when he got it, they had his date of birth wrong.

    When you say he doesn't have his physical SS card yet, do you mean it was lost in the mail, or just not arrived? 
    My suggestion would be to go to the Social Security office and get them to give you a print out verifying his Social Security number, and try again. Do make sure you have everything on the silly long list they have as requirements, I suggest having more than the minimum.
