Looking at some of these updates give me a lot of hope. It seems like the charts from https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/processingTimesDisplay.do show that Dallas, TX is a year behind and Charlotte, NC isn't too much better. Yet people like @cj777 and @Ken Adams are getting their letters and interviews extremely quick (within 3 months almost).

I know the FO make a big difference but I wonder why certain people are getting their applications drastically slowed down or are on track to be naturalized in 3-4 months.

interview Date: 11/06/2017 @ 12:20pm (PASSED)

I came an hour early for my interview appointment, went thru security, all guards 3 of them greeted me

with ALOHA, and they wish me luck as I pass thru, one of the guard escorted me to the check in desk

and he hand over my paper to the lady, the receptionist lady checked me in and she's also very nice.

and she asked me if its okay for me to wait can hour cuz I came in early and I said yes. so she

gave me back my letter of appointment and my ID and I head straight at the waiting area.

Still browsing my reviewer and pray my heart out. At 12:30 exactly I was called in by my interviewer

she's very nice. never felt nervous as soon as I entered the room. so she had me stand up and raised

my right hand to swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth and she let me sit. she asked

how was my day and if I drove on my way, I said no I never drive I always take the bus. and she laugh

telling that is good you got no traffic violation to discuss. lolz. and She asked for my complete name,

SSN#, complete address, phone number, where am I currently working, how long I've been working.

name of my daughter and her birthday, my husband's name and birthday. after that the Yes and NO questions

began. and suddenly she asked if I wanted to change my name, and I was like, Really?

she said yes you may change your name.. and I asked her again, can I change my Last name?

and she replied, if you like. then I told her, I want my Maiden last name back.

she smile and print the paper for me to sign to change my name without any further questions.

Exam:

She hand me over a paper to Read the sentence. it say's "Who is our first President?"

I read and I answered it George Washington. then she signed the paper. and handed me another

paper for written exam. she asked me to write "The United States First President is George Washington"

so I wrote it down and gave her the paper and she signed. then last part is the civics.

questions asked were;

1. When do we vote for federal election? answer. November (correct)

2. Who is the Governor of Hawaii? answer: David Ige (correct)

3. What did Susan B Anthony did for the US? answer: She fought for women's and civil rights (correct)

4. What country did US fought during WW2? answer: Germany, Italy and Japan (correct)

5. When is the Declaration of Independence? answer: July 4, 1776 (correct)

6. Name 2 Federal Holiday. answer: Veterans Day and Thanksgiving (correct)

And she didn't continue anymore questions.. then she said. "CONGRATULATIONS, YOU PASSED!"

and I was surprised, happy and relieved. after that she asked for a passport photo, good thing I have

some on hand. and she congratulate me again and told me that I'll be receiving a letter for my oath taking.

There seems to be one filer from Hawaii who was a paper filer and is scheduled for an interview akin to the timeline of the online filers although I'm sure it's very dependent on the field office backlogs. I guess we'll get a better sense as more paper filers start to hear about their interview dates. That's a shame about maybe not even hearing about the interview date until February or March. I got excited that it could be quicker than that. I wish I had filed online. I think at the time the only info I was seeing about it was that it was potentially glitchy, which is why I filed the paper route. Ah well, I'm going to try not to think about it until a letter arrives in the mailbox.

Maybe depends on which field office you sent your Paper Application cuz I sent mine to TX.

Just keep on praying. who know's tomorrow you'll receive your letter of appointment.

I'm going to echo the sentiment that most paper filers feel, I wish I had filed online. My friend who filed online on 09/16, ten days after me, has an interview scheduled on 12/12. We are both in Los Angeles filing under the 5-year residency. The only reason I can think of why his application was processed faster is because his GC year is 2011 while mine is 2012. I'm hoping that the USCIS gods will schedule me for an interview soon just like my friend but it looks like LA paper filers have been stuck in "in line" for at least 3 months before actually getting an interview date. Actually, some who have applied since February still don't have an interview scheduled. The only consolation I see from this is knowing that at least, LA field office processing is moving.

I'm a paper filer. and submitted or sent my papers August 9, 2017. and just had my interview this Monday 11/06/2017.

so I was thinking it depends on which Field Office you submitted your application. I sent my Application to TX field office.
