First he asked for my husband. He was a super nice guy! He asked him a couple of questions like where we live and my husband just told him we bought a house and we dis some renovations. He asked for some documents but my husband couldnt find anything just the pictures and that was funny. He showed him some pictures he asked about my parents on one and that was it. After he called me in and he asked me about the house as well to match up our answers. He noticed that we travel a lot and we were just back from Vegas for my birthday( it was a surprise from my husband) and i told him the whole story and he was taking my fingerprints while i was talking. It was super easy! And we are very happy

Interviewed on 3/8/18 with wife who entered on K1. Arrived at 9AM for 9:30AM appointment. Went through security. No issues with keeping cell phones. Went to 2nd floor, checked in with interview notice. IO called us in at 9:20. She verified our IDs, took picture and fingerprint of wife, then confirmed her name and address. Then pretty much went through most of the Yes/No questions from the I-485 application. While she was doing that, I organized the supporting documents to present to her (apt lease with our names, joint bank account, health and dental insurance cards, proof of wife as beneficiary on my 401k and life insurance, photos, proof of my wife’s pregnancy). After my wife answered no to all the questions, I gave her the documents. We then made some small talk but she didn’t really ask questions about our wedding or living situation. She then said she was going to order my wife’s green card ( conditional for 2 years as we are newlyweds) and she said it would arrive in 7-10 days. I informed her that we are planning to travel out of the country in a week and I showed her proof of travel. So she had us go downstairs, she spoke with an officer down there and after a few minutes she stamped my wife’s passport with I-551, good for 90 days. Overall, extremely pleasant and smooth experience. IO was super friendly as was the entire staff. If you are a legit married couple and you have your documents in order there should be absolutely nothing to be worries or stressed about. The only tip I would have is to get there early because parking can be tight. The lot is big but that morning there was a naturalization ceremony so there was only one spot left.

I applied for I765 EAD on a J2 visa on the 11th March,2014. Within 2 days I received a receipt and appointment for biometrics. I was given the date of 8th April, 2014 for my biometrics. I decided to go early on the 19th of March to the Cranston, RI office for the FP and photo. They were super super nice. It was not crowded. I told them I had to travel to India, and they did everything in the next 10 minutes! The office is amazing! Now waiting to see if they approve my EAD. But I have to repeat, the Cranston office is fantastic!

I can laugh now, but at the time it was stressful.
Due to my wife's employment, we were temporarily (2 years) posted back to the UK, so we decided to apply for naturalization under 319(b). We sent off everything before we left in September 2012, and I did a walk-in early biometrics in October 2012 when travelling to NY (2000 miles from where it was supposed to be).
Anyway, we got an interview letter for Providence RI for January 3, 2013. I was intending to do it in DC, but this is how it worked out. I flew in on January 2nd, with a return ticket on the 9th, via Dublin, as I'd hoped to do pre-clearance there, to avoid the hassle in JFK. For whatever reason, pre-clearance was closed, so I had to panic for 7 hours as to what stress I'd have in JFK (I always get a hard time, for some reason). The plan was to arrive at 7pm, rent a car in JFK, and drive to Rhode Island, get a hotel, and be interviewed at 8am the next morning. The best laid plans....
As I arrived in JFK, and before the fasten seatbelt signs were switch off, I turned on my cellphone, and looked at the emails that had arrived. To my horror, I saw the following:
"Please contact me at your earliest convenience to reschedule at xxx-xxx-xxxx. The phone number listed on your application as a work number and I was not able to raise the operator." I replied: "I've just flown in for the interview. what shall I do? I'm in JFK".
I then got off the plane, got through security, called the number (there was no answer - it was 7:30pm, and left a rambling message about being stuck in JFK and not knowing what to do.
The next day I got an email "Your file has not been received by our office. The file was mailed via ground shipment instead of overnight as we requested. The file was shipped on xx/xx and is currently in transit.".
So I stayed in NY and panicked. This was Friday. My return flight was Tuesday.
To cut a long story short, the file arrived Monday morning, and I drove up to RI. As I arrived, I was greeted by all the staff, who said: "Jack, (the officer, not his real name) - this is your guy". They all came to meet me, and apologised for the hassle. The interview itself was straightforward, starting with the test, which was easy. He then went through the application, told me to wait why they printed the certificate, and then all the staff came to talk to me. Half an hour later, I was called in the the Director, who did the oath with me, handed me the certificate, and wished me sucess. I had tears in my eyes.
The next morning, I turned up at the CT passport office without an appointment, and by 12pm I had my passport. Headed straight for JFK, had a Global Entry interview (approved) and caught my flight back to the UK.
All's well that ends well!
