Okay guys, i am done with the naturalization interview!!! And now waiting for the oath ceremony to be scheduled. Interview experiences helped me with a lot of my anxiety so hopefully this experience can help others out. 
 
For some background, I am in Houston, naturalization based on 3-year marriage. 
 
Biometrics - feb 21 
Interview scheduled letter :. July 30
Interview Date : September 3
 
Since i applied based on marriage my naturalization application had photos, utility bills, joint taxes, joint bank account, joint auto insurance, health insurance, ID showing same address . 
 
I took even more stuff with me, like more photos, recent tax return, update auto and health insurance cards, recent bank statements. I wasnt asked for any of these.  Infact the only thing i got asked were my passport, green card, ID and my appointment letter. All which were given back at the end of the interview.
 
Okay so, went inside like 10 mins before my interview time. Got through security, got my biometrics done. And was told to wait. Didn't take long actually, was called in like 10 mins. 
The interviewer was stern, not very friendly but professional. There wasnt much chit chat, she asked me to take the oath and be seated. Asked for the above-mentioned docs and went straight to the questions. 
 
1) What did the emancipation proclamation do?
2) who signs bills to become laws
3) what happened at the constitution convention
4) what is the supreme law of the land
5) how many amendments does the constitution have
6) why does the flag have 13 stripes .
 
Reading: how many senators do we have?
Written: people want to vote.
 
Afte that she just asked me questions from the N-400.  The yes/no questions.
No dates except for my birth.
Where my husband was born.
Where i was born etc. 
I was born in Pakistan but am Portuguese citizen so that came up, but it was just i think curiosity since she asked me that in the end after everything . After that she made me confirm my info on the tablet and that was it. I was told that i would be recommended for approval and to wait for the oath ceremony. Got a letter for that and i was done. The atmosphere changed as soon as she said that, mostly cuz i was just relieved and she could tell and she was happy for me too. The whole thing lasted about 30 mins. I checked an hour later to see status changed to oath ceremony will be scheduled! 
 
So whew , i am done with this, one last step of waiting. To everyone who have their interview coming up, good luck! And hope this helps.
