Finally had my interview today, and everything was ok from a passport perspective. Upon arriving, the interviewer asked for ID, GC, and passport. I said I lost the passport a few years back but haven't traveled internationally in more than 5 years. The interviewer was ok with it, and we proceeded with everything else.

N400 Citizenship and Removal of Condition (I751) joint Interview
 
I applied N400 August 22 2017 (while I751 was pending since Aug 2016). I had my case updated to 'n400 interview scheduled' on Jan 12, 2018. My interview was on Feb 13 2018. I was interviewed (adjudicated) for I751 first, then citizenship interview. Here is how it went:
Place: Portland Office
My appointment was at 10 am. I walked in with my US Citizen wife around 9.25 am. While waiting for the number for nearly 1 minute, the officer came and told me that it was great that I came in early as they are ready for interview! Good thing I brought my wife as they kind of required her to answer questions for I751 adjudication. 
I751 adjudication- First thing truth oath, then we seated. The officer asked for passport which had the i551 stamp (since I never got my 10 yr green card and old one was taken in return for stamp). Next, officer asked if I had been outside USA since applying for N400. I said yes, and tried to give updated information sheet but the office said the passport is enough and they can look the entry stamp. Next 10 minutes were discussing what my wife and I been doing these couple years. Why no kids, where we live, when did we move, where we met. it was very relaxed and friendly conversation. Next officer took asked for my new lease which I presented in 5 secs. That's it,  all the documentation needed! passport and lease! My wife answered few questions as well. 
N400 interview- There were about 50 YES/NO questions which I replied NO. One question I had doubt which was "Were you ever cited", I said "By a police officer-NO" (Because I had traffic camera tickets which I paid and that is not a law officer). This question was asked again later and I confirmed with USCIS officer that citation DOES NOT include traffic camera tickets under $500 and no need to file them!
Next the test
Told to read " how many senators are there". Next to write " There are one hundred senators".
Q1: What happened on 9/11
Q2 Name of national anthem
Q3 What is the rule of law
Q4 Why 13 stripes on the flag
Q5 What ocean is on west side
Q6  I don't remember.. (because I was already happy and my memory didn't store it)
 
After interview, officer told me I passed . Then asked to look at if we have any pictures together. I printed 40 pictures and officer looked at ALL one by one, asking question of where and when which I wrote on the back side. Few laughs, few funny questions and the officer kept like 3 pictures while returning 37 to me. Officer then said it is all done and I should receive notification soon. No SAME DAY oath as I751 adjudication takes 24 hrs before system updates N400 approval. (Portland does same day oath though). Anyways, my status changed in 1 week to "in line for oath" and then changed to "oath scheduled" the next day. All good now! Oath in 3 weeks. No notification for I751, nor I received any green card. It's still showing pending on the website 
 
To answer some confusing question on this forums and which bugged me as well-
 
Q Can you apply N400 while I751 is pending- YES
Q Can you travel while your I751/N400 is pending- YES, just get the i551 stamp 
Q Do you need to declare traffic tickets under $500- NO, answer no to citation question as well if you were not arrested. 
 
Feel free to ask me any questions, I have been through it all 

Happy to announce that I attended my oath ceremony,and am now officially a citizen!
 
My oath ceremony letter said to arrive at 8:30am on Friday to Cadman Plaza in Brooklyn, New York. My wife and I arrived right at 8:30, since I read online in advance, that the first half hour or even more is just checking in. They sat everyone in a given row in the courthouse on a first come first serve basis, so later when they handed out the naturalization certificate, the early folks got to leave slightly earlier as well.
 
Next steps, the officers were dealing with certain individual cases (name changes, other issues/problems). The process was not too bad, but I do think it could be much more efficient if they had someone deal with a given person's issue while the rest of the officers processes the masses. But instead, a lot of time was spent with everyone just waiting for the officers to deal with one person. Oh well, it was still all pretty quick, so not complaining too much. That person actually ended up being sent back to have their oath rescheduled, because he lived in the Bronx and not in Brooklyn, so they couldn't process him there.
 
I also knew not to hold expectations too high on the court letting our friends and family partake in the actual ceremony part. But, luckily and because we were a group of 150 (vs up to 250), they decided to let everyone in. So my wife did get to witness. The judge was really nice and had a great speech. My wife and I were out of the building by 11am.
 
After getting the certificate, we went one building over to the post office, which accepts passport applications. They only had one person dealing with the influx of people, and even though I was 10th person in line, it still took about 1.5 hours (interestingly, the last 5 cases took 15 minutes, but the first 5 were complicated for whatever reason).
 
Thank you again everyone here for sharing your stories and helping shed light on an otherwise black box of a process. Good luck to everyone still waiting!

Congratulations @YashMin.
 
We waited a week before sending out our passport application due to the fact that we had no time that day & well as wanting to make a copy of the certificate before sending it out.
When we finally went to send out the application at the Bronx General Post Office, luckily there was a worker who was checking completed passport application of people who was waiting in line. She was taking people off the line (application was filled out in blue & not black - so had to redo, people don't have right documents, etc,). It took us just a few minutes as most of the people ahead of us were taken off the line and my wife application was pre-printed (filled online & printed).

Got my oath ceremony scheduled for Feb 9 (next Friday)!
 
Quick backdrop: last week, after seeing some NY oath ceremonies being scheduled ahead of me, I took an advice I saw on a different NY-based thread here, and showed up to the USCIS building (26 Federal Plaza), without an infopass appointment, and asked to talk to a supervisor. After waiting around for about 1.5 hours, I finally got to talk to one, who said that my case is within normal processing times, and that they're currently in the process of scheduling oath for my batch of December interviewees. And that I should expect to have the oath ceremony for sometime in February. Lo and behold, yesterday I received an update to the ELIS system, and this morning an update to the online filer system that the oath ceremony has been scheduled and letter mailed. The PDF then showed up later today. Definitely clueless on whether me popping by the USCIS office did anything to jolt my case, or if it was just a happy coincidence (I'm guessing the former).
 
Anyway, the oath ceremony is scheduled for 8:30am @ Cadman Plaza in Brooklyn (which is conveniently just a 10 minute walk from my apartment).
 
Best of luck to all the other members here, and thanks again for all the intel! Will post the updated tracker in a second.

Hi everyone,
 
I had my interview yesterday (01/17/18) at NYC Field Office. My interview was scheduled at 7.15am. I arrived at the USCIS 26 Federal Building at 7.07am. The building was still closed and so was the security check point. At 7.10am I and the other people who lined up for the security check were let in. I then headed to the 7th Floor for a check in. I was told to wait near Door 2 for my name to be called. Within 5 mins or so a gentleman greeted me at the door and escorted me to an office. He was a white man around the age of 50s. He had a very pleasant personality and funny.
 
The interview started with English tests: reading and writing tests.
I was asked to read, "When is Columbus Day?"
I was asked to write, "Columbus Day is in October."
 
After that my interviewer proceeded to the civics test. The questions I was asked were the followings:
(1) What did the declaration of independence do?
(2) How many supreme court judges are there?
(3) Name one branch of the government
(4) Who becomes president if the President and the Vice President cannot serve?
(5) We elect a senator for how many years?
(6) What does the cabinet do?
 
I answered all six questions correctly os we then proceeded to the "Yes/No" questions. Once done, he asked me about my personal history (e.g. when I arrived in the US, when I got married to my spouse, when my spouse become a citizen (but my spouse was born a citizen), why I was in the Africa for 100 days in the summer (I was working for an international organization so the interviewer was okay with it), when I filed the N-400 form, etc.). The whole process seemed very long, like over 30 min, as the computerized system that the Office has just started using has a glitch and kept saying that I was not eligible and I might have filed the application too early. The interviewer did not believe the system so he asked me the above-mentioned questions to confirm my eligibility. Then he asked me for documents to prove my on-going relationship with my spouse as he did not have any print-outs of the supporting documents I submitted online. Luckily I took the same set of the documents I submitted online to my interview. Therefore, I let him choose what he needed. He said, "wow, you have too much. I don't need all these." Then we joked about how painful it was to having to collect all the documents. All in all, it was a friendly interview. He was pleased with the supporting documents I submitted. I had two passport photos with me. Although he did not ask for any photo, I voluntarily offered them to him. He took them. He said, "You have passed the tests, and I will recommend you for approval". He then check the two boxed on my interview assessment paper. He told me my oath ceremony should be around the end of February at one of the three locations (I cannot remember where they are) the Office usually holds ceremonies. I asked him if I could get my oath letter today but he politely said no. He said his colleagues need to schedule me first before my letter can be issued. He walked me to the elevator. He shook hands and said good bye.And that was it.
 
When I reached the subway, I received multiple email notifications from USCIS including.
01/17/2017: We recommended that your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization , be approved. Your case was submitted for quality review.
01/17/2017: Your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization , was placed in line for oath ceremony scheduling.
 
And today I received:
01/18/2017: Oath Ceremony Notice Was Mailed
 
I am waiting for my oath ceremony notice to be uploaded on my online account. Hopefully, I can share with you tomorrow when my oath ceremony will be. Fingers crossed. I do hope my interview experience can help some of our fellows here more or less.

Congrats!!

Similarly here, I brought my wife's physical passport and birth certificate (although I'm pretty sure you're technically only supposed to bring just one). Was not asked for either of them by my interviewer. I'm guessing @thekfc's approach should work (i.e., bring whichever copies you have if you can't get physcials).

thank you for all the good intel. I'm looking forward to hearing about your oath ceremony since I heard the Brooklyn ceremony can be a little underwhelming..

Had my interview earlier today in the NYC office (technically Brooklyn Field Office), but located in 26 Federal Plaza like all the other NY field offices.
 
Interview was scheduled for 9:15am, and I arrived at 8:45am as recommended. By the time I was through security and got to the correct office / floor, it was probably 9am. After checking in, I waited for about 45 minutes in the waiting room with several other people. Note: my wife came with me, and we were both able to be on our cellphones.
 
 
After 45 minutes, got called to the interview by the interviewer, who walked me to his office. After confirming to be under oath, I sat down, and he asked for my ID, green card, and passport. I lost my passport >5 years ago, so I told him that (and that I didn't travel internationally since). He was alright with it, and said that since I didn't travel, then no worries.
 
We then proceeded to the "history test" as he called it. I answered the first 6 correctly ("what did the declaration of independence do?", "how many supreme court judges are there?", "name one branch of the government", "who becomes president if the P and VP can't serve?", "we elect a senator for how many years?", and "what does the cabinet do?"). We then proceeded to the English test (read: "When is Columbus Day?", write: "Columbus Day is in October"). And finally, proceeded to walking through my application and yes/no questions.
 
The whole thing took less than 10 minutes, at the end of which, he told me that I passed the history and english tests, but they still need to run / finish their background check on me (I don't have any arrests or other complications, so hoping this background check is just a part of the regular, although I don't remember hearing that verbiage from other people on VJ). Anyway, he said to expect the oath letter in a couple of weeks, but may be longer because of the holidays. As soon as I left the interview, I received three emails from the eGOV website saying a status has been updated (to "Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled").
 
So now back to the waiting game, but happy to be this much closer to the end. I'll update when I get the Oath Ceremony letter and date. Best of luck to us all!

Thank you so much, and hopefully some good news for you in the coming month or sooner!
 
Interview is 26 Federal Plaza, 8th Floor, Room 8-100. Not sure if that's technically the NY, Queens, or Brooklyn Field Offices, or if it even matters. Based on the USCIS website, it looks like they went through another reshuffle / consolidation in the FOs, and now the three have the same exact room numbers (see link below). If I remember correctly, Queens and NY had slightly different (but also overlapping) rooms in 26 Federal Plaza. Also, I don't even remember a Brooklyn FO.

Yup I agree with you. I'm here mostly so I have something to compare to when it comes to timelines etc. It's likely that the day after my oath, I'll never log into this site again! 
 
It's actually kind of weird that your online account actually said 30 days, let alone actually calculate it accurately. I think mine said 11 months when I got my interview notice! 
 
Good luck with your interview!

Fixed formatting.
 
Also, added that I just today received the "USCIS has scheduled your interview appointment and will mail you the appointment notice". If this indeed means I have an interview scheduled soon, then I'd be so ecstatic at how fast this is moving (and hoping similar speed to everyone else!). Either way, won't get my hopes too high until an interview has actually been scheduled (I think the NYC office is somewhat backlogged).

There is another thing we can do we can complete the application without attaching any evidences docs and once we are done with submitting we can go to evidence tab and upload whatever we want to that won't create any duplicates. this works absolutely fine.

This post is for anyone who wants to apply for the N-400 online. The USCIS website is a bit tricky and doesn't take you directly to the N-400 application portal. These are the steps to online application:
 
1. Go to this link https://my.uscis.gov/apply/naturalization
2. Click on "Create Account"
3. Type in your email  and click on "Sign Up"
4. A confirmation will be sent to your email. Click on the link sent to your email and it will redirect you to a page that will enable you to create a password. Then click "Submit"
5. Go to think link https://my.uscis.gov/exploremyoptions/us_citizen_through_naturalization#benefit-related-content-2 and click the green "Apply" button
6. After this you will be returned to the original log in page where you sign in with your credentials
7. You can take the eligibility test and start your application. 
8. While uploading evidence please be careful because the summary page is still glitchy. Upload the documents in one log in (usually at the end after you have done your final review and before submission) for best results.

@Zombie69, I would be cautious giving people advice without properly stating that you did not go through the specific experience. This is a perfect example, since the online application actually does allow for pretty easy evidence uploading (albeit occasionally wonky, see below for full description).
 
@alainstyle1, I just submitted my application online earlier today and there's a whole section for evidence attachment. The section allows you to upload files in different formats (PDF, JPG, JPEG, TIF, etc.) and 5 at a time. There's a drag-and-drop area or alternatively a "click here to choose the file path". My 2 cents are go with the latter, because the drag-and-drop was a little wonky for me (doing duplicate uploads of the same document when I dragged and dropped more than one). So I ended up uploading one or two using the "choose file path" link, going to a different page on the application and then back to the evidence section to verify the prior document was properly uploaded.
 
My other 2 cents are to scan your documents properly with a scanner (instead of iphone) so they're more easily read. If you don't have a scanner at home/work, I'd say go to a FedEx Kinkos or a similar office center. I'm only recommending this, because the officer reviewing your case will probably appreciate a more-easily read doc, and you'd avoid the risk of an RFE if one of your docs is illegible. Again, just personal opinion/speculation on that point.
 
Hope this helps.
