Very helpful. Thank you and congratulations. I hope that my interview will be as painless.

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.

Had my interview today. Was less than 30 mins in and out. Received approval letter on the spot and website updated to “oath ceremony will be scheduled” as soon as I left.
 
The officer mentioned an expected date mid-May for Oath ceremony.
 
 
Pittsburgh, PA office

It's actually at NBC office until it's ready to be transferred to your local field office if you filed online. 🙂

We have a ceremony date! March 26th it is. I can't belive our timeline is complete. Good luck everyone ! 

Thank you!

Got email today informing my interview has been scheduled and field office is Charlotte, NC.
 
This process in a way is holding our move to Dallas(because of their damn slow processing time) and our out of country trip to see my mom. So very glad to hear this news.
 
I feel many of you here may have paused some parts of your life decisions because of this process just like we are.. So I hope you all hear good news soon on your cases as well. 

I got notified at least a month before the interview, but don't get my word on it because not everyone's case is the same.
 
I would suggest waiting until you've got everything settled with immigration before going out of the country or even deciding which date you want to travel. You don't want to get your hopes up and be disappointed in the end. USCIS, I think, is randomly approving applicants. Just saying. Good luck though! I hope you get your interview soon!

CONGRETULATION BRO,
YES IT IS A KIND OF CRAZY STUFF WITH THE WAITING TIME.
PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING WITH THE PROCESS
GOOD LUCK

Hi all,
 
I just got an email that they have scheduled an interview. Nothing in the documents tab though.
 
Does anyone know if it appears online or through the post only?
Thanks

I experienced the same thing. It requires a lot of patience. I’m glad it’s all done — at least the 1st step is over. The waiting time begins. 

Finally got the application submitted, The upload evidence is a mess, that the documents disappeared multiple times. 
Anyways, Application is in as of 09.28. 
 
Good luck to everyone.

Got a text/email alert from USCIS and I see it's approved. This forum thread been very helpful and I wish others the very best.

You are allowed to go to attachment A ONLY if you answered that you have 3-5 years of residency. 
You cant just start from there. First it asks about residency, and then if it is true, you go to attachment A to answer about marriage 

If you mean in the case staus, I don't see anything regarding transferring. Just 2 status case received and fingerprint review completed. 

Don't think this is the right forum to have a conversation on whether you believe in what this country stands for. Others have different opinion and it would divert the so helpful forum to something not good. No offense intended.
