Los Angeles county I think? The one in downtown LA. Yes, went with spouse, but they didn't want spouse, it was more to show it's a real marriage 

Los Angeles county I think? The one in downtown LA. Yes, went with spouse, but they didn't want spouse, it was more to show it's a real marriage 

The officer went through the entire application, line by line. But he asked follow up questions only around the places of residence. 

Had the interview today and oath ceremony 1hr later at the Los Angeles processing center in downtown LA. Was taken in 30mins after the interview time, and it was around 30mins long. I had two long trips (5 months and 3 months) back to back with 6 days in the US in-between (3/3 years ago), which worried me. However, the officer didn't ask anything about it. He did ask a lot of questions around why we kept moving places, mostly during pandemic to get out of the city. Civic questions were easy, just basics around term lengths etc. 
 
All in all, it was a very smooth experience. Good luck to everyone else.

Interview March 8
3 year rule, applied on the 3 year anniversary. 

Hey everyone, yesterday I had my Oath Ceremony in Pasadina, CA (LA county)! I applied 89 days prior my 5-year GC anniversary and It took 3 months from filing the application till the interview + 5 weeks from the interview to the ceremony because I changed my name.  I'm sharing my timeline here. Good luck everyone!
 

While for majority of cases the US citizen spouse would not be asked to participate in N-400 interview, it does happen in some cases. Even with I-751 approved. After all, citizenship under 3 year rule is based on marriage to US citizen. Even mere presence of US citizens spouse in the waiting area is another check box in IOs head confirming the marriage is going fine and reduces the chance of additional scrutiny.
 
I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Daughter and I applied for our passports on 02/02 (filled in the form and took it to USPS where we also got photos taken).  I opted for expedited which currently is 2-3 weeks but did NOT opt for expedited shipping.  Anyway, passports are out for delivery today! 🎉

Congrats! Great to hear the oath ceremony was scheduled immediately as well. Any idea why they didn't do the oath on the same day? Does your FO not do that? 

Had the interview this morning. I waited about an hour for my interview but otherwise it went smoothly and I got approved. My oath ceremony was immediately scheduled on February 29th. 

For the interview, does anyone know if I need to take any documents to show there are no outstanding taxes? Also, do I need to take both federal and state tax returns? 
 
Thanks.

And estimated time to completion went from 3 months to 7 months 😂😂😂

No, I moved to another apartment when I came back

Got my interview letter yesterday, it's scheduled for the 8th of March. Filed on 18th of Dec (on 3 year anniversary)

I don't think those estimates mean anything. Mine went from 5 months to 8 months when the interview was scheduled. I have seen similar comments from others as well.
