I had my interview yesterday afternoon. I arrived about 1:50pm and my appoint was scheduled for 2:15pm. I parked in the underground parking directly inside 250 Marquette Building. Those that are looking for parking, you must enter on 3rd ST, 3rd ST is a one-way. There is another parking entrance on Marquette but that is probably for contract parking only, there is no public parking through that entrance and there is a sign that posts, you must enter from 3rd ST for public parking. Parking directly underground cost $18 for roughly 1.5 hours. If you have a lot of time you can find cheaper parking else where and walk but I was a bit late than I'd like and I didn't want to deal with the cold and snow so I was ok with paying $18. 
 
Check in was very smooth. If you are there for an interview, try to sit closer to where the north side so you can hear when your number is called. The system is not that loud so you can easily miss your number if you sit too far. Plus, they do not go in order so pay attention! My appt was for 2:15pm and I got called about 2:40pm. The officer who interviewed me was very nice, we small talked while walking to her office about the weather. Once we got to her office I pulled the chair and I guess I must have missed this completed but I didn't realize I should remaining standing. She notion that I should remaining standing and had me take oath that everything I am going to say is the truth, etc... So - do not sit yet! Remain standing until you are told to do so. I must have missed the memo on this one! 
 
She looked at my green card and mentioned it was very old. It is very old, I was a child in the photo but my green card was issued before the newer cards so it did not have an expiration date and I never got around to renewing it. Yes, I got by with it for this long! A little crazy I know! Then she went over the application, took about 7 mins. I had a correction I had to make. I forgot I got a traffic ticket in 2010 so brought the citation and proof that I paid for it. She mentioned that I didn't need to include it since it was less than $500 but she took the information and updated my application. 
 
Then she made me read a sentence that popped up on the ipad screen infront of me. And then she made me write down what she said with the little pen onto the ipad screen. Then she asked me the civics questions and stopped after 6 and said I passed. Overall, it was very smooth. She was very friendly and reminded me a lot of a teacher. She told me they are scheduling oath and there is a big one at the beginning of April so I might be in that one but she's not sure but I will need to wait for my letter. We left her office and talked a bit more about the weather and she walked me out, I exited the back hall door and back to the lobby elevators. 
 
Overall, it went well. Everyone was super friendly and it was easy to find and check in. I'm so glad this is almost over. 
 
Good luck to everyone still waiting! You'll get there!

Thanks everyone! This is helpful. 
 
I have 2 weeks until my interview. I feel very confident, been reviewing the test questions. I'm very comfortable with them as I knew most of them while growing up here in the US and learning them in civics class, etc... I'm applying as a 10+ year green card holder (I came here as a refugee child) so hopefully my case will go super smooth. 

Sounds like you had a really experience! That's so awesome on the same day oath! 
 
Congrats!!! I can't wait  until I get there.
 
 
MN residents - do we ever have same day oath? What determines?
