    I had the interview today and passed the tests.
    It lasted only about 20 minutes.
    They asked to see tax transcripts and my new apartment lease (this seemed to finally cement the address change, which I see other people have also had trouble making stick over the phone or online  
    The agent said he would need time to review my travels, so no decision today.
    I feel good because I know the travels never amount to 6 months out of the country.
    I submitted two photos, and left with a letter saying wait for next action / approval / oath ceremony appt.
    So now it's more waiting (he said up to 4 months) for the review and decision. 
    Feels like progress. 
    Hope these details help someone else. 
    Or if you have insight on similar (pass test but possible RFE) please share. 
    Thanks!

    Good news, 
    Since my interview on June 6 (Brooklyn, NY), I've received notice that the Permanent Green Card is approved (i-751) and on the way (June 15) and then that I am in line for the Oath Ceremony (n-400) (June 18). I guess that means I'm approved for naturalization  I'm happy it took my officer only 12 days to review my travels, instead of 4 months like he said it might.
    Thank you all for the support and answers.
    I'll let you know how long it takes to get to the Oath Ceremony. 
    Fingers crossed that we all finish before the immigration drama escalates into anything more.

    GUYS!

    Had my interview today in the morning. I was called in exactly at the time of my interview and was out ten minutes later. 

    I WAS APPROVED!
     
    Here are some details: 
     
    - Called in and greeted by a very nice and friendly lady. Took me to her office and straightway put me in oath. I sat down and let her know in advance that I do have a couple of coinages in need to make. Only asked to see my passport and greencard. 
     
    - She started with reviewing the application with me and went through it pretty quickly although it seemed like she did touch almost all of the questions. I had a couple of changes ( traffic speeding tickets I hadn't declared) and one other minor thing. She appreciated the fact that I had already prepared and printed updated pages and was thankful when I produced them. 
     
    - Made me sign the N-400 twice and moved quickly to the english test. 
                    Reading: Who passes laws
                    Writing: Congress passes laws
        No issues there. 
     
    - Moved quickly to the civics and history:
            * Who wrote the deceleration of independence
            * Commander in chief of the army
            * Two major political parties
            * Party of the president. 
            * Three original states
            *State bordering Canada. 
       She stopped when I got first 6 right. 
     
    After that she congratulated me and let me know I passes history, civics, and English test. Ans she said congratulation that my application is being recommended for approval!
     
    Went in another office and printed me a letter for October 20th oath ceremony. Sucks that the ceremony in September was full but oh well, it doesn't matter. 

    So yeah, that was it guys, thank you for your support

    I was approved!  Everything went well!
     
    The questions I was asked were as followed:
     
    1 Who was the first president 2 Two holidays we celebrate 3 Who is the governor of this state 4 What is one thing we promise to do when we come a US citizen  5 what movement tried to end racial discrimination 6 where is the Statue of Liberty    Reading: who lives in the White House Writing: The President lives in the White House   The agent was very nice but distant/professional.  She said I was the second most enthusiastic person she'd ever interviewed, the first being a 95yo Vietnamese man who jumped up from the chair with his walking stick when asked if he would bare arms for the country.   The process was quick although I was kept waiting for about 25 minutes after my scheduled appointment time before I got called.  She took my finger prints again and a quick snap of my face but I didn't need to take off my glasses  - I think that was for facial recognition as she commented that my hair had changed (hello I'm a lady, it's what we do!).  She asked me all the YES/NO questions again.  No pictures were needed.     The office was busy busy busy but they went through folks pretty quick.  My husband came and sat with me.  She didn't ask to see any of my documents or originals of what I submitted. She asked at the beginning why I wanted to become a citizen and I basically went off on a speech about how I've been here for X number of years, made a life for myself here and honestly I've achieved more here than I ever did in the UK and I love it here.  She then said, Well I would have accepted any ONE of those answers, but thank you.   Now I wait for my oath ceremony date, which she estimated would be very late September or early October.  The current dates listed on the Mass website though stop at the end of September, so we will see what happens.

    I'm frustrated about the Google doc as well - it looks like at one point someone tinkered with the filters, then removed the filter and took a bunch of people with it.  If you don't know what you're doing, don't edit the document.  Is there a way we can revert back to an earlier version, does anyone know?

    I think lots of people were removed from that Google spreadsheet. I don't know why because people shouldn't touch it if they weren't sure what to do but I'm not sure if anyone is even checking it anymore because of all the deletes.

    Hi ge! I think it went great.  First thing the IO asked was if I had any evidence to prove my bona fide marriage (she chose the Last Will + Medical POA, medical insurance cards and mortgage papers).  She was super polite and formal.  She went through some of the questions on the n-400, and proceeded with the civics questions (got the 6 right!), english writing and speaking tests.  All in all it took maybe 30 minutes.  She asked me what felt like ALL the Yes/No questions under Oath, and took a couple of minutes to review all my case.  At the end she said she was recommending me for approval and congratulated me, said I would probably make it to the September Oath Ceremony.
    My case was updated that same day to:  Case Was Submitted For Quality Review Based On An Approval Recommendation and has not changed since (it's been 8 days). Hopefully I will be getting an Oath schedule update online and in the mail soon.  It's almost over!
     
    Good luck ge!!!
