Not necessarily because you are fluent. I am sure many people who are fluent were asked to take the tests as it is normally required. These things sometimes really depend on who interviews you, how much in a hurry that person is, whether there is a pandemic, how backed up their office is, how new that person is on the job... But for sure if someone walks in and has complete difficulties communicating then for sure that person would get the english test while on the other hand nothing is guaranteed.  

Sorry about the divorce going on. At the time of filing (and still now) you were married, so you did not lie on your application. You have been a GC holder for a long time, so you would qualify under the 5 year rule regardless of the divorce happening after the fact. If the divorce decree comes up before the interview, then you should add that to your documents as USCIS asks that any change in status be mentioned. They also ask at the oath ceremony if anything has changed since even after the interview. I am not sure if you filed under the 3 year rule originally whether they just adjust it to the 5 year rule if things change or if you are supposed to re-file under the 5 year rule, but as others have stated as far as the 5 year rule is concerned for sure you would still qualify. Maybe they will just  adjust it.
Sorry about your troubles. I hope it works out.

Great to see you are close to the end.
Based on everything I have read on the forum and elsewhere, you seem to have everything. I just read someone who had their interview (it was a combo i-751) and said that they were asked about 2020 W2s. If you have it, then just bring that just in case. It really depends on the officer you get. You wouldn't want to get one who would ask for that, not have it and be issued an RFE and the note saying you passed the test but "a decision cannot be made at this time" which would delay things. If you already have your 2020 W2s bring them. If you don't have it yet then you can explain why IF ASKED. Better be safe than sorry. Bring everything. 
As Soley said, I brought a bunch of stuff with me in a folder, even what I had already included during the application and then what I had uploaded during the wait, but he only took my GC and my Old passport (to check see the name and also go through what stamps/dates I had in there). Bring everything, but DO NOT volunteer anything. Only give him/her what they actually ask you for. Don't throw a pile of documents at the interviewer as soon as you walk in. Let him/her ask, then submit what they ask for. If you submit more than asked, they may want to review it before they take a decision. Plus the less paperwork the better. Less questions.

Did I say any of that is illegal? My posts are still there. Please read. 
You keep on moving the goal posts. And you are wrong. It is not illegal to divorce after the fact. It is illegal to have an affair or already be in a relationship and go to the interview and pretend to be in a bona fide marriage. Your doubling down on denying this simple fact is preoccupying and raises concerns on what kind of advice you may have been giving people here. I stated many times, if he ALREADY knew he was in an affair or planned on leaving and closing the bank account at the time of the interview then it means he misrepresented himself during the interview. You come back with  "Moving out is not illegal, Closing a bank account is not illegal...". Who said that was? So what you are saying is encouraging people to open bank accounts jointly, not be in a bona fide relationship, know all this, file for n400, then just close everything after the oath, because closing a bank account isn't illegal then everything is okay?
Pointless discussion and a waste of my time.

This is what you stated: "None of those things sound illegal."
Now you are saying you never said that.
Pointless discussion.

I am not sure of what most people here are talking about. All talking about how this is a civil issue and everything. Did you even read the OP's claim that, they were together everything was fine, then as soon as he took the oath (everything immigration wise was done) then he went south? Have you ever heard of immigration fraud? Have you ever heard of GC revoked? Have you ever heard of even Denaturalization? 
To the OP, if there is proof that he was with you for immigration purposes, Green cards can be revoked and naturalizations too. What some don't understand is that when they make you sign those papers for n400 and other immigration purposes, the reason is so USCIS can use that against you should they discover you had lied to either deny you permanently or temporarily legally if they catch it before, or go back and strip you of what they have given you. What kind of advice by non lawyers is this? That someone would possibly have lied to get an immigration benefit and yet it's a civil matter? 
OP, there is a civil litigation side to this (divorce), but YES! if you can demonstrate that your spouse in anyway lied during the process and had clear intent to leave as soon as he was done "using" you for immigration purposes it is a violation. That's the whole concept of immigration fraud, which some apparently don't understand. On top of that should they ever discover this and they discover that you had a role in this, you too would face a fine and possibly jail time. I recommend you talk to a real lawyer on this one, but I believe your options would be to just deal with him at the divorce, and not suspect that he stayed just for immigration purposes in which case you have no proof and nothing could ever come back to you, or you take the time energy and possibly money to try and prove that he deceived USCIS. Even though you were still legally married at the time and all, the n400 application if based on the 3 year rule especially can still be fraudulent. But again, you would have to prove that he was in deception already then and possibly that he had an affair then when you all had your interview and he feigned to still be committed and then once he got his oath he left. I have seen good advice on the forum and bad advice, a lot of these were pretty awful.
Talk to a lawyer if you have doubts or just move on with the divorce and let that other part go, but also remember that if it can be proven that you knew then you are an accomplice.

The 90 days residency I believe is at the time of filing. If you move after you filed, your application is still valid. You just have to inform USCIS of the change of address. But make sure to follow the correct procedures for changes in address as I have seen many people on the forum who moved while their application was pending but were still reporting USCIS had the old address. I think you can't just change it in the portal, but have to fill in a form and/or contact an officer at USCIS.

This is amazing. Now you are going back to this argument? Sorry to say but your determination into proving that because of the number of posts you have, that somehow makes you an expert is clearly astounding!
You said initially: "This is not an immigration issue. It's just a civil issue".
And I said that even though it may be difficult to prove (if it is) it remains also an immigration issue. And I said that something being difficult to prove doesn't make it not a crime because it's difficult to prove. A reasonable person would have said, "it is definitely a civil issue, but it also is an immigration issue if he lied to USCIS at the time if he already was planning all this". That is what I said. You said NO it's not an immigration issue. Now you are saying that it's not an immigration issue because it's difficult to prove? Makes no sense whatsoever. Plus how do you know it's difficult to prove? What would make it an immigration issue in your eyes? If she found a text message of the affair and the plans the day before the interview? A crime is a crime whether easy to prove or not. It's still a fraud. 

Just to be clear and end this discussion, please read what I said from the start. I agree with you if they were married and went through some issues afterwards, after the oath. Even if it's 1 day later if he met someone after that, then it's just civil. You can legitimately be married to someone then go through a divorce even after getting your immigration status sorted out. That's just a civil issue. Not an issue for USCIS. But the OP said it appears as soon as he got his oath ceremony (less than a month and a half ago), he moved out with someone he was having an affair with. You keep on talking about how hard it is to prove. The second sentence of my first post, I said exactly that. But even if something is difficult to prove which maybe she can prove easily, but, even if difficult doesn't make it not an immigration case. When we take the oath and raise our hand to say that we "swear to say the truth and nothing but the truth", there is a reason for that. So USCIS can legally determine that you have no good moral character (a liar) and they can deny you legally and you would not have any recourse. If the husband ALREADY was having an affair and had PREMEDITATED moving out as soon as he was done with immigration, that is immigration fraud whether difficult to prove or not. That is irrelevant. If he went to his interview based on being married to a US citizen after 3 years, he had to prove during the interview that he was still in a relationship with the person. He showed pictures of him and his wife. He displayed the image of being in a solid relationship at the time of the interview, but he was lying because he had already plans to leave as soon as he was done. How is that not an immigration issue (as well as a civil issue when they divorce)? Then what would be the goal of signing the YES/NO questions in our applications, checking that we are "Married", "Divorced", "Separated", "Widowed"...? If we can check and say whatever we want and do whatever we want. The fact that someone robs a bank whether you can prove that he did or not, doesn't determine whether the crime has been committed or not. I am just saying that when you and the other one are saying that it's not an immigration case, just a civil one you are misleading people into thinking that as long as they are not caught then it is okay to say what you want at the interview. It isn't. This would be a clear case of immigration fraud if he was living a double life. This is a form of polygamy (which we also swear not to be involved in when we apply for N400). 
It's the whole basis of filing for N400 under the 3 year rule. The first criteria is to be in a genuine bona fide relationship at the time you are applying/talking to the officer.
So to close this on my side I wanted to make sure you didn't give ideas to people that they can apply for N400s, lie knowingly, and if they don't get caught at the time then it's okay, whatever they did just becomes a civil or other case. If you get a benefit claiming something, they will take back that benefit if it was based on a lie. That's why you sign those documents so they can hold you accountable should they discover something. So as I said from the start, this would also be a case for immigration fraud, but also a civil case (divorce). I am shocked that anyone on an immigration forum, especially for this long would fail to see that and keep on repeating that it  is okay because difficult to prove. Difficult or not it still is immigration fraud, if he knew what he was doing at the time of interview.

The oath took place December of 2020. Just a month and a half ago. So after that he met someone had an affair and in less than 1 month and a half moved in with the person? Come on? Yes! As you state, it's obviously a failed marriage. But if the guy knew he was having an affair (I would be surprised he didn't) prior to his interview and sat down before the officer at the interview and pretended to be in a loving relationship with his wife, how do you qualify that? Did he not lie to the officer? And what happens do you reckon when USCIS finds out you lied? What do you think happens if you don't disclose a crime you committed in your country and did not mention it on the form and some time later USCIS finds out about it even after having granted your n400? Do you think they say that since they didn't catch it at the time, then it's okay? Come on.

I am not sure of what most people here are talking about. All talking about how this is a civil issue and everything.

Okay. You seem to be here to talk about your experience more than anything else. What happened to you is irrelevant to me to be honest. I even tried to explain to you that the polygamy statement, had nothing to do with what is happening here, but it would be the same thing as someone saying he isn't in a polygamous relationship at the interview. That would be lying too. Then you retorqued by saying polygamy is okay to become a US citizen. Which I responded actually polygamy is a crime in the US and one would be denied. Now you are trying to give me a lesson on relationships and definitions of polygamy which I said from the start isn't the issue here. But regardless you have in plain black and white you saying polygamy is OKAY for citizenship. I mean I can't debate with that. The only people presuming things here are you and the other one who only made presumptions. And talking about your personal relationship failures. Read what the OP said. As for your relationship not sure how it is relevant for me to know that if you were still married with him he would still be having an affair? I don't care. That's a civil issue. Deal with him.
If someone says one thing at the interview which isn't correct and knows at the time that it isn't it's fraud. Whether you had a bad relationship or not, that's just a fact. This is insane.

Pointless discussion.

I wanted to update everyone on my N-400 journey, which has been quite enlightening into our federal agencies! I had my interview in SAT on November 4th, and passed the tests etc. However, since we own our own business we filed an extension, and still had not received the official receipt from the IRS of taxes owed, so I told the IO that I owed taxes. I showed him the return transcript, he was very nice and understanding, and said they would send my a notice of continuance (NOC) requesting the updated transcript once the taxes were paid in full. No problem, as I was planning on doing that by the end of the month. 
 
Well - the IRS didn't send the receipt until the beginning of December, and the NOC gave me until January 10th, 2021 to respond. Again, I thought I had plenty of time. Made the payment to the IRS through their Direct Pay portal logged in under my SSN, got the confirmation, and the money was withdrawn 2 days later from my account. About a week later I went to check the updated transcript, but the payment wasn't there - strange. I called the IRS, and the man on the line told me that he couldn't see any payment made, that the confirmation number from Direct Pay actually meant nothing, and that I had to call my bank to see where the money went. I hung up, called Chase, of course knowing that since the money was taken OUT of the account BY the IRS - there was no way they could tell me where it was. 
 
Feeling uneasy about just letting this man tell me I had to figure this out for myself, I got my congressman's office involved. They put me in the queue to work with a Tax Payer's Advocate based out of Houston, who works for the IRS, but whose purpose is to advocate on behalf of taxpayers experiencing delays, hardship or problems with the tax agency (had no idea this even existed). She was wonderful, and explained that unfortunately that man I had spoken with was indeed WRONG. Once the money leaves a taxpayers account and is in the IRS's possession, it is the LAW that the IRS perform a Payment Tracer and take it upon themselves to locate the money. The burden never lies on the taxpayers, especially since I had the confirmation number, and proof of the money leaving my account on my bank statement. 
 
So the deadline passed, because it took the IRS until last week to post the payment to my account. Luckily USCIS has a 60 day grace period extension to reply to RFE's and NOC's. I sent it in, was approved yesterday and am now in line for the oath. I wanted to share this, because it is so important to be a strong advocate for yourself and never believe anything someone on the phone says at face value - do your research, ask questions and back up your points with valid evidence. If any of you have any issues with the IRS I strongly urge you to use your congressional representatives and the Taxpayer Advocate Service - I had to demand it in the end, but I am thankful I kept pushing. 
 
Sorry for the long post! Hope someone might find this helpful for themselves! 

Just wanted to share my experience of the Oath Ceremony during Covid as I know everyone's is a bit different and it's nice to know.
 
My ceremony was scheduled for 8:30am in St Louis, I arrived at about 8.15 - the letter specifically stated not to arrive more than 30 minutes prior, I had planned to arrive earlier but due to bad roads from snow and ice it took a little while to get downtown.
Walked in where security asked covid questions, took temperatures and went through security, was told about 5 times to keep masks on. 
Directed down the hall where we were checked in, any family/guests were sent to wait in the cafeteria as only participants were allowed in (this was also on the letter but some people still tried) 
There were 10 numbered seats spread out through the room, we were sent to our number and given a packet of information, passport application, mini flag etc.
Our USCIS rep was late due to weather but we all started checking in at about 8.45, just going over the form on the back of our appointment letter, giving in old green cards and confirming our information on the citizenship certificate was correct. 
Once that was done the judge stood up, introduced himself, apologized profusely it wasn't a bigger deal as they normally had speakers, music etc.
Then went into formalities, we stood and took the oath, then the pledge of allegiance, the other USCIS rep congratulated us all, and passed out our certificates and sent us on our way as the next group of 10 was waiting to come in.
It all took just under an hour, was very relaxed and easy. 
Good luck if you're still in the process! It's long and stressful but worth it ❤

Hello everyone my oath ceremony was scheduled for March 08,2021 at my local office that I did my interview.  I’m so happy because I bought my ticket from December to travel at the end of March. So, hopefully I can apply for my passport same day. My journey finally coming to an end. I’ll try to expedite my passport.

Husband's immigration journey comes to an end today.... He had his interview Charlotte North Carolina. Filed May 5,2020..
 
Filed: May 5,2020
Accepted: May 11,2020
Biometrics: Nov 9, 2020*rescheduled due to traveling out of america
Biometrics re-use: Dec 10,2020
Interview notice: Dec 27,2020
Interview and Oath: February 10,2021

Good news! To all my Washington DC people:
 
My hubby received his notice for his interview. We checked online. March 16th!
 
So DC folks, things are moving along! Your day is coming soon.

Thank you- we had joked with our luck his interview would have been scheduled on her due date...but she arrived a month early and his interview was scheduled later than we thought so everything all worked out! 

Just got out of my interview. The officer was pretty kind and nice. My i750 is still pending but they didn’t even take my husband in the interview. She did the civics test, writing reading and asked me if I want to submit more evidence which i did. The only question she asked was if we got married in Turkey or in the US and she looked through our pics and gave couple compliments. Civics questions that I remember were; name 3 original colonies, who is the current VP? Who is over the executive branch? 
 
she gave me a notice saying she recommended me for approval and that I should hear very soon to come back for my ceremony.

My journey with USCIS ended today. I had my interview and my oath this afternoon. The officer was very nice and professional. I don't remember all the questions:
- who was the First president
- how many amendments
- what's the capital of the US
My oath ceremony was the last one of the day.
 
Good luck to everyone and thanks for all  your help.
