@MikloGoesLegit it was wonderful to meet you and your wife! It would have been great to have a pic together! 
 
Your explanation is very thorough and will be extremely helpful to others! Good luck to everyone else waiting.
 
 

You did a much better job than me with your explanation @MikloGoesLegit.
 
It totally slipped my mind, but I could have spared you the travel-related headache. My husband's boss went for his Natz interview last week and faced the same issue where they told him that they would mail a letter asking for updated travel details. I travel a lot for work (I have been to 8 countries since my N 400 receipt date), so I prepared a "Travel Addendum" with a list of my trips, exact dates I was out of the country, specific countries that I visited as well as my upcoming trip in May. I mailed a copy of the travel addendum to the Seattle field office (with my interview notice, so they know where to file it). I also took a copy to the interview. My IO was super happy that I sent it the documents ahead of time. He said he typed in all of that info in my file and reviewed it even before I came in to the interview saving both of us a lot of time. I should have given you a heads up! But all's well that ends well!
 
I am starting a new job next week, so I also sent it an "Employment Addendum" as well.
 
Anyway, to others reading this, send any updates ahead of time (not too early, send it about 1-2 weeks prior to the interview when the local field office gets your file) and also take copies to the interview. 
 
@MikloGoesLegit I got a notification that my oath was scheduled. I expect we will be back there on the same day again!

Just came back from my interview as well. Here's my experience:
 
I came in 30 mins early as the notice says to do. Once I went through the metal detector I went to get in the line for interviews. I noticed a sign saying not to go up to the counter earlier than 15 minutes before the scheduled time, (1 PM in my case) but after standing to the side for a few minutes the lady at the counter asked anyone who had a 1 PM interview to come up. I got a number and went upstairs.
 
Once upstairs you have to go to the right side, the left side is for people taking the oath.
 
I waited for almost exactly 30 mins before my number was called. I used that time to go through the study guide for the civics test. I did notice that some people who got there after me got their number called before me, so try to be there 30 mins prior, like the notice says and babyduck also duly pointed out.
 
She greeted me nicely with a smile, then made some small talk on the way to the interview room. There was someone waiting inside the room, as my IO would let me know, this was a senior officer supervising the interview, so it's good to know that they are hiring new IOs for Seattle cause of what had been reported about a lot of them quitting earlier this year. The supervising officer limited her interaction to greeting me, observing, and saying goodbye when the interview was over.
 
My IO was very cordial and personable which made the interview much smoother and eased my apprehension a bit. She asked me for my passport and green card, flipped through it, then asked me to stand up, raise my hand and swear to answer all the questions with the truth. My notice said to bring my wife's birth certificate, our marriage certificate as well as any additional supporting evidence I would like to add, but she only asked for my passport and green card.
 
She asked me to read out loud a question on a piece of paper, and then to write down the answer for it, which she provided. After that I answered 6 questions from the civics test correctly, and she informed me I had passed.
 
She then asked me my birth date and my wife's. We talked about places my wife and I had lived and why we moved to Seattle. She asked me about my job and my wife's, we spoke for a bit about how we had met and our relationship. Then she asked me that barrage of questions to which you're supposed to say no to, such as "are you a terrorist?" and many more of that sort. Then came the questions you're supposed to say yes to such as "are you ready to serve for your country if need be?" those weren't nearly as many.
 
She then asked me about my travel history, I had listed the last 6-7 countries I had been to but I guess I didn't provide a full list of them, just the ones that fit in the space given on the form. I did declare the full number though. They say to affix an appendix if the space provided is not enough, with a full list of the countries and dates and I thought I had but it's been so long I honestly can't remember if I did or not. I was asked to review my information on a sort of iPad and sign off on it. This info she said, was what my certificate would read. She said at that point I would normally be recommended for approval or not, but since they didn't provide my full travel history they would have to mail me a letter requesting it. I said I could pull it up from my phone if they gave me a few minutes, and she allowed for me to write them all down (luckily I keep pictures in my phone of all my international travels) while she conducted her next interview. I went back to the waiting area and wrote it all down. 
 
Seriously, that was all on me. I could have brought my old passport but I didn't, and my travel history would have been a non-issue. Also, if I did forget to include the full list on the application, that too is on me. Folks, if you are not doing this with a lawyer, you need to be fastidious about every section of your application, otherwise you risk unnecessary delays.
 
She gave me a printout that said I had passed the tests but a decision could not be made. She explained they would review my travel history and see if it checked out, then make a decision, and I should be hearing from them in the mail. I felt quite drained and disheartened. By the time I got home I had some emails saying to check my account online. I logged in and my status had changed to in line for oath scheduling! 
 
I can't wait to be done with this, good luck everyone. We just have to be patient, the rest is not up to us but we have to remember we are almost done.
 
 
 

Mine is 8/8! I really hope to get my notice soon too!

@EastCoast_Guy
 
Thanks for the update!!
 
Is it just me but it seems that there's more movement for the people  that submitted to the Texas Lock box.
 
Since the ones from the Phoenix Lock box that have the interviews scheduled, don't have the type of application ( IOE vs NBC ) .
 
anyways, no more conspiracy theory.

Beachmusic added to VSC! Can you confirm the Receipt notice date printed on your NOA! Thanks.
