I have my n-400 interview next week morning. I have a few questions and will appreciate any answers from the wise folks here.

- Interview is in San Jose early morning at 8. What is the usual time it'd take to be out of the San Jose center?
- Is there a chance of getting "same day oath?" If so does it need day off from work?
- Is there a need for real prep for tests if one is good in english/general knowledge and aware of current events?
- Is it a bad sign if IO says "decision can't be made" and what are its chances?
- Documents I need to take other than green card, passport, interview letter, and traffic citation related documents?
- Would I need to surrender my passport as my native country doesn't allow dual citizenship? They give an OCI.

thanks in advance!

Normally should be less than 2 hours.
Mostly no. But i have seen some posts of same day oath ceremony.
No need. prep Civics and no need of current events.
Not exactly. Only it entails more delay. Chances depends on each case.
As an abundant precaution you may carry tax transcripts. When you say you have it, most IO go to next item.
USCIS does not require you to surrender your native passport to them. After Naturalization you have to surrender your Indian passport to Indian Embassy/Consulate to get OCI.
 
My wife went to her interview in Baltimore a couple of days ago. She studied all the questions in the study guide that was given to her when she went to ASC.
In terms of documentation, each case is different. We were well prepared with documentation when we went, but we had already sent a majority of documents (copies) in with the I-485, I-751, and N-400 applications, and since the officer had my wife's entire immigration file she didn't need to see anything besides my wife's current GC.

Most of civic questions are about the past.
Some numbers have to be accurate like how many represnetatives in the house or senate, how many amendments.

Only current things are who are president/vice president, chief of justice in supreme court, the governnor/senate/house representatives of yoru state.

If you still have that CD and you commute, you can just listen to it. A few hours are more than enough.
But you have to dig out infor about the governnor/senate/house representatives of yoru state yourself
although it is unlikely such questions will be asked but since there is no absoluteness, you
ahve to find out in case
 
Do the questions refer to "additional information" in the civics lesson question-list?
It'd take less than an hour to go through the bullet item answers in the book.
