  1. I had my interview Yesterday and everything went well. So all done with immigration and here is my experience if it helps anyone. My field office is Charlotte, NC. We were allowed in 15 mins prior to interview time, after checking the interview letter and state ID. Right after security check, an officer took me to his desk. Surprised about zero wait. He scanned the interview letter and green card. Very friendly, some chit chat, then asked 6 questions [ just one answer was good ], had me write and read a simple sentence [ California has most people ]. While I thought this is the interview, he guided me to another desk where the actual interview is. This is skype and first officer left after saying the interviewer will turn on his cam after reviewing my file. Then started the awkward 5-10 min wait time as my camera is ON, while waiting for the interviewer to turn ON his. It turned out to be a very quick round with set of questions - my name, dob, when I got my GC, what I do, who is my employer, whether I have kids, followed by mostly yes or no like have i been arrested type of stuff. Again he was friendly just no chit chat. End of questionnaire, he said he is approving the file. As I stood up I was directed to the first officer's desk and he did my final round. Asked the status whether it's approved, then had me review my information and sign. All done with interview, asked to join other people who are waiting to take their oath. I got on my phone, waited for may be 15 mins for few others to complete their interview. They called one by one, issued certificate, a package (had passport application form),US flag, took my green card and said congratulations. Final step, an officer had us all repeat the oath after him and gave a nice little speech. I was in at 9:45, out by 11:15 AM. Docs they actually asked me - Interview letter, State ID, Green Card Docs I brought with me - Interview letter, State ID, Green Card, Marriage Cert, Wifeys birth cert, All our passports including expired one's, originals related to my traffic incident (fine was $2000+), certified driving history, and proofs related to our relationship ( shared credit and medical cards, car title, home, auto insurance, last 3 year tax transcripts, joint bank sttmnt, home deed and life insurance.) PS I requested a name change ( make second half of my first name as middle name - tired of spelling 16 chars every time) but that would mean, not getting the naturalization certificate the same day and wait months for court date to be scheduled. So said no thank you and my ice breaker remains. Good luck to everyone here and wish the same easy, friendly experience to you all.
