Congratulations! Awesome news to hear and thanks for the detailed secondhand review of the process.

Thanks, I just found that. Seems that if I can get everything approved and oath ceremony same day, I could go to the local passport agency (make an appointment first) to get an urgent travel passport.
 

My friend had his interview last January and would've been offered a same-day ceremony but he had to get it scheduled due to a name change.

Congratulations!

I don't know what drives the quicker or slower interview times, could be a Field Office thing or the type of application maybe (combo vs single).
 
I filed Jan 17, received interview notice in my USCIS online, March 27 for a May 2nd interview. I filed N400 only and my FO is Denver.
 
Keep the faith, it will happen.

Congratulations! Awesome story.
 
I too hope that May 2nd will be the end of my journey with the USCIS.

Yes you can order what you need, I think they go back several years. Do it on their website. Even if you get them by mail they should arrive before your interview.

Great to see some January filers getting movement on their applications!

You can get transcripts from IRS website.

We personally did print everything out, but that’s because my partner likes to be over prepared. The officer did only look at the first page of each of the last 3 years tax returns to see both of our names. Like the other poster mentioned, can use a tax transcript as well. We did provide the tax transcript, which she looked at in addition to the actual tax returns. She looked at the car insurance we provided and health insurance. 

Agreed! Passport appointment is tomorrow and international trip on March 22. Hopefully passport will be here in time.
 
FYI, for anyone not being able to find a passport appointment, I recommend Adam's county in Brighton. After trying several sites, this is the only one that had appointment available online. 

Congratulations, that's awesome news considering the weather and potential impacts that could have caused.

Hey guys, it was actually open and everything went great!!
 
Here is my experience:
 
Lots of people in line (I think there was an oath ceremony scheduled). Went through security, checked in, and waited on 2nd floor. I waited for about 10 minutes and they called my name.
 
Since I was applying on 3 year rule through marriage, my wife was with me. The officer asked her to wait while we did the interview.
 
The officer was SUPER nice. She swore me in, asked me for letter of appointment, green card, and state ID, and we started with the test:
 
- We elect president for how many years?
- Who wrote the declaration of independence?
- Name 3 states that were part of the 13 original colonies
- Name your governor
- How many amendments does the constitution have?
- What movement tried to end racial discrimination

Then we moved to reading and writing. "How many senators do we have" (reading). We have 100 Senators (writing).
 
She said that she reviewed the online documents and everything looked good. She did not ask me for any physical papers. I uploaded tax returns, evidence of marriage (joint accounts, joint car purchase), and her U.S passport as proof of citizenship.
 
After that, she asked me the N400 questions (when did you guys get married, your wife's birthdate, where do you live now, where did you live in the past, what do you do for work, what does she do for work,  are you willing to bear arms if required by law, etc).
 
She asked me if I had any trips planned, and If I wanted to do the oath ceremony then, which I agreed to. She waited for a bit while her admin approved me, and then went over the oath of allegiance in the office.
 
After that, I waited for 5 more minutes in the waiting room and she came back with the certificate (and the tiny flag :D), so I am now officially a US citizen!!!

I decided to post an update since rick832020 did not respond. I had my interview in the morning at Centennial Colorado and it went well. The interview, oath, and printing of the certificate took less than an hour. I hope someone finds this helpful. 

If I'm not mistaken, you need to bring your physical green card (and not just a scan). I would also add driver's license, and any expired passports if you traveled outside of the country in the past 5 years. My IO also asked for proof of selective service registration (not sure if this applies to you). 
 
Finally, my attorney advised me to take two passport photos as a backup, and sure enough, the IO for my interview asked if I had additional passport photos, and I was glad to have an extra set of two photos. 

While I should be doing work, instead I'm checking my case status 🤣
 
Estimated decision time has come down to 6 months now.

Here's my observations from my wife's case. 
 
8/22 - 13 months
09/06 - 9 months
09/30 - 8 months
11/27 - 7 Months
11/30 - 6 Months
1/1 - 5 months 
2/1 - 4 months

That's amazing news, congratulations!

Weirdest case update this morning, received an action notice email for my case early in the morning. Checked actual case status and nothing different from yesterday, anyone else seen this before?

Thanks, I'm praying for a smooth and no issues approval process.
 
What have folks been doing for the test piece?

Thanks. I have been putting each date of each section based on my court records so hopefully I have it all in the right order.
 
Thanks for the ending sentence as well, that's a good point to put in.

Is there any stats out there that show denials because of misdemeanor offences? Or any other minor offence?
 
I am trying to collect everything, applying soon and I am over 3 years from the end of my probation, offence was over 6 years ago but court dates/appeals are at 5 years.
