I had my combo interview on 11/20. The interview went smooth, not too many questions asked and my officer was a very cool guy. Although my husband came with me he wasn't needed in any portions of the interview. The fact that the officer asked me whether it was my husband sitting with me when we were in the waiting room proves that he actually looked at my file prior to this. We started off with the I-751 file I'd never realized my file was huge until I saw it on the officer's desk - I was just like wow). Basically it was just the verification of my information and hubby's (name, DOB, work). He asked about our current address, which I told him and offered him the lease - he said no need however changed his mind 30 seconds later, and whether we have and plan to have kids and that's about it. It took about 10 minutes and I was approved on the spot. The N-400 was easy. After I passed the test he just read to me a series of yes/no questions on the application. All it took was around 10 minutes. The rest of the time was just him typing info into his computer, and the interview was 45-50 minutes in total. In the end I was told I was scheduled for the oath ceremony next month and my notice should come in a week. At this point I breathed a sigh of relief that I was officially done with all this paperwork nightmare forever woot woot. So word of advice: come well prepared. You need to know your applications like the palm of your hand and make sure you bring all the documents needed and you should be fine.
Just got back from the oath ceremony, what a great morning it was, people from 96 countries in Plano, one thing I will say, I had the early ceremony at 7:30 and tons of us showed up at 6:45 but they refused to open the doors till 7:30 on the dot, but other than that it went perfectly, I’m officially a US Citizen!!

Maybe the Part 2 thread will be lucky for everyone.
