I am self-employed but I operate under a single officer S-Corp.
Under employer I put the company name but I also said I was self-employed.
At the interview they asked me who I worked for and I said the company name. They then asked "are you self employed" and I said yes.
That was it. They did not ask what I did.
Later I was asked the generic question from the form about paying taxes and I said yes.
That was it.

Well good on them for saving paper

I am in NYC and I got my oath letter exactly one week from my interview. Oath ceremony is 3 weeks from interview.
There are various forums here based on the date you initially filed. Maybe you can look for that and you might see timelines for Washington DC.

Don't cross out anything on the form itself, as in a legal sense, that can invalidate the form itself. You don't want someone asking you to resubmit it all.
Like the other poster said, just provide the three years

Yes I read about this recently in NYC. Their interview was rescheduled for 2 weeks.
They actually got a phone call to say it was cancelled and would be the same time "in 2 weeks". They did not get a written notice but they turned up at the time they were told and had their interview.

I got my oath letter today so that is one week after my interview. It is in 2 weeks so that is 3 weeks after my interview.

Recent experience for Brooklyn filer

My husband has to travel a lot for work, and in fact had to travel the day after he took the oath. So we had to get him a US passport in a hurry. After we got the notification of the oath date, we made an appointment for an expedited passport at the passport agency through this website https://passportappointment.travel.state.gov/ for the afternoon after the oath. The ceremony ended around noon, and the appointment was for 2 pm. The NY office is at 376 Hudson Street. He brought his new citizen certificate and proof that he had to travel the next day, and his checkbook. He gave them the paperwork, and they said come back at 5 pm, the passport will be ready. He went back at 5, and got the passport a few minutes later. It was super easy. It costs $60 extra to expedite it in this manner.
I don't know how you handled the stress of that passport time line!

[This is a repeat post from another Topic]
You can see my dates in my Timeline.
I had my interview yesterday at 26 Federal Plaza NYC where the Brooklyn office is located (8th floor). My appointment was for 7:15 AM and I joined the queue to enter the building at 6:35 AM. They don't open the doors until 7:00 AM and by that time there were quite a lot of people waiting. I went to 8th Floor Room 8-100 as noted on my letter and they stamped my letter, gave me a ticket, and told me to go to another room that I had passed just near the elevator. I then waited in another queue and when served they took my letter and told me to wait.
I was called at 7:35 AM and it did not take long to be interviewed. She asked for my passport, green card and other photo ID (drivers licence) and marriage and divorce papers. She did not ask for any other material. She took a photo and fingerprints. She asked me 6 questions. She got me to read a sentence displayed on a tablet device. I had to write a sentence on the tablet device. She told me I passed. She went thru my application and corrected a couple of minor errors. She then asked me all those final questions at the end of the application like would you bear arms, are you a member of a terrorist organization etc. She then displayed my application corrections on the tablet and I signed the changes. She then displayed those final questions on the tablet and I signed that too. Then she printed a form Naturalization Interview Results (N-653) that said I had passed the test and my application was approved. She said I'd get an oath letter in the mail. Then I left. I noticed on my way out the queue to enter the building was very short. People were walking straight into the security screening.
Today MyUSCIS was updated with the results.
[FYI the 26 Federal Plaza entrance is temporarily around the side in Worth Street just past the Employee entrance. They have a big sign out front to say so but it was kind of a surprise at 6:30 in the morning. ]

It's in my timeline ...

They might be playing catch up ... I am not my best t 7:15 AM

FYI I am not in the table.
I got my interview date March 7 in NYC Federal Plaza (filed online and am from Brooklyn). I missed the email because apparently they have had email problems - got email yesterday saying. I know the letter will actually arrive today as I get USPS delivery notice emails showing me what mail is being delivered and I saw it.
What shocks me is the time. 7:15 AM. I cannot believe the ridiculous time. Anyone else have such an early interview?

I am a Feb 2018 filer in NYC. I have that message on my dashboard. It means what it says. I don't pay attention to anything other than what I see when logged in. Based on activity by other NYC Fed 2018 filers I am expecting to get an interview by March.

Mainly from USCIS

but also from posts from legal sites.

Yes, USCIS is not funded by the government so the operations continues even the shutdown.
Actually, it is funded by the government but since the funds mainly come from applications fees they can keep open. However if they need to liaise with other departments in terms of particular cases, it could mean those cases are delayed.

Thank you! Very helpful. Just in theory, changing jobs and moving within the US won’t raise any flags right?
No that is OK. But not having a job, having no fixed abode and being out of the country just before your interview is not a great idea. All three factors together indicate no actual connection to USA.
-
Yes they could. First a couple of months can be risky because it is not a given you will be let back in without a challenge. There is no fixed rule on how long a green card holder can be absent. A rule of thumb is less than 6 months before you need a reentry visa but it is not a given. So that is always a risk.
Second, you don't want to be away when you get your interview date. You have a month's notice but it could prove expensive to have to return hastily.
Third, you definitely need to maintain a permanent residence at all times within the USA because without one you can be considered to have abandoned your residency. So if you move out you also have to move in somewhere else. Not having a job will no look good at an interview.
Finally, I think you are saying your got your green card via marriage. Are you now divorced? If so, then see https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/can-i-apply-citizenship-i-ve-divorced-the-person-got-me-green-card.html
Given the above I would think again about leaving the country.

I took my oath on March 28. One thing to note was they asked me for "all" my green cards even the expired ones. So if you have more than one remember to take them all.
