I became a US citizen on Jan, 20th. I will like to thank this forum for providing excellent information.
My appt. was at 1.00pm. I got there at noon, submitted my interview letter at window 2 and waited for my turn. Immigration officer called me around 1.30pm. The interview process was extremely smooth, officer talked about my Cornell MBA for 20 minutes, while the actual interview lasted about 2 minutes.
Our Oath was at 4.00 pm and it was all done by 4.30pm
My wife has an interview on 2/9, I will post her experience as well
Good Luck to all

Finally US Citizen !!!
I became a u.s citizen on jan 20th.. I had my interview appointment at 1:20 .reached the building around 12ish and parked the car behind it for $14/day parking..
i took the elevator after the security clearance to the 15th floor and dropped of my interview letter at window 1 at 12:30 and started my sitting journey with a lot of anxiety for about 90 mins before they called my name..( when they call u.. be sure to listen carefully if u think the name sounds familiar to your name ..then probably it is you they are calling ).. the officer asked me to come to door 2 and as he opened the door for me i said good afternoon and all i got was "hhmmm hu" ...that is when it struck me.. i am going in for a looooog haul of questioning... Like my stock prediction of 2009 which all went wrong this too was wrong... i came out in less than 3 mins ....first the officer asked me to sign the photographs i dint hear him so i asked him again and i got the asnwer ( " sign as in signature of your name ") ...i thought he was rude in saying that...but to think of it ..he sees people day in day out so let me cut some slack ...after that he asked me 6 questions
1) who is speaker of house
2) President term
3) First 10 amendments
4) Ocean in west coast
5) What party does the president belong
Forgot the 6th one..
one line to read " who is Abraham Lincoln" and to write " Lincoln was the president during the civil war" and he recommended the case for approval.....i walked out of the office in a flash ..back to waiting room and I had to sit in for next 120 minutes since i was the last person of the day before the 4.oo pm oath ceremony to get the certificate signed ( my luck as usual )...
Oath Ceremony took about 20-25 mins ... came out and went to nearby BK to grab a bite to eat...
I would like to thank everyone in this forum who has helped ppl like me get thru this tough journey.
Let me end my experience by saying rare funny moment that happened on that day...
when we are all in for oath ceremony the officer congratulated all of us for achieving this and the claps were all dull since most of them were all tired ..But when said “ are you guys not happy that you guys don’t have to deal with uscis any more “ that is when I heard the crowds real happiness…
On Jan 21st I applied for my passport ….
any question i will be glad to answer !.

Hi Vipr,
Good News ! Did you and your spouse both get the ILs? Did you get your YL?
Thanks
BK
yes, good news indeed. Both got our IL's. She got her Yellow letter. I did not. I had not included her DL photocopy with the application and hence I got a yellow letter which asked to make sure I brought along the DL. I would have brought the DL along anyways.
PS. I did not include it since she had not update the address on her DL and was waiting on a sticker from DMV. Did not think it wise to include the DL since after reading these forums, figured, you can always show it during the interview process.
Does anybody have any idea, what time the first interview in Newark is. If I am the first one in, would like to understand how early I can go in. I figure, it is a bit of First In, First Out around the general time of your interview so dont want to wait too long in the waiting room. Afraid, am not looking forward to the anxiety of waiting for the interview and trying to go over the questions and answers and all the documents that they will ask that I dont have (not that I plan not to carry any).
PP Received Today updated time line
btw, the states dept. online system doen't show any record of my PP application so if you applied for PP and no ststus on the online system, its ok...

We are both scheduled at 9:00 in the morning. I was planning to get there by 8 and was wondering if they will take me in. Would not being done early. I believe there is a oath at 11:30 in the morning. I feel if I show up at 9:00 I probably have to wait for the one at 1/1:30 in the afternoon.
