I need advice regarding Naturalization

As I said before: Even if a person does not get naturalized, it is not the End of the World! That person will still have a greencard with the right to live and work anywhere in the US.

That's true. No matter citizens of which country we are, we are all citizens of the beautiful Planet Earth for a short time of our presence here.
 
My interview is tomorrow... I will do my best, I know what to do, but not sure how will act in a stressful situation of the interview.

While everyone's experiences will vary, my interview was anything but stressful. I even made friends with the IO, who ended up pulling some strings and getting me the oath letter an hour after my interview (the DO where my interview was held did not issue same day oath letters).

Your case is simple - you'll do fine! Ni puha, ni pera!

You are well prepared, so go with confidence! The IO is not out to trick or trap you. I posted a link to a USCIS YouTube video in another thread that shows people going through the interview process, it may be helpful for you.

Do they ask membership cards? The problem is that I cannot locate my membership card for Mathematical Association of America. I have found only a receipt for paying my membership dues and a few letters from MAA. Would it be sufficient to prove my membership? Do they typically ask for membership cards at the interview? All my memberships are only professional.

Relax, they do not ask for any proof any kind regarding your memberships and they certainly won't ask for your membership cards or membership fee receipts or anything like that. The question about memberships is basically a pro forma question, and they only really worry about memberships in terrorist/criminal/extremist/subversive etc organizations.

As a matter of fact, many professional associations do not even have membership cards. As you probably know yourself, the American Mathematical Society certainly does not have membership cards (all I ever get from them is an electronic receipt by e-mail when I pay my membership fee).

So take it easy and try not to have a stroke before the interview. As long as you don't break any windows during the interview, you'll be fine.
 
The IO is experienced in dealing with nervous applicants, and those for whom English is not their first language.
Relax, have a safe trip, and a great interview!
 
How dare you suddenly decide to be succinct? Did they ask you about your arrest? Were your fingers counted? Your pockets checked?

First of all, I have never had any arrest! Not even a fine! But on March 5 I found out that there was a record about not filed citation at local police ( of 2004). I do not want to go through details, but this record was absolutely unfair, and that's why it was dismissed and not filed on, and I have never received a citation. No docket number has ever existed, local court does not know about this case. I had very hard time to convince local police to remove this record. They did not. But at the court where I came recently they told me I should not worry, because this case has never existed and not in any database. This all mess was about an accidentally broken tiny window in the basement, to replace which I paid $106.84. I had a misfortune of cutting hand by glass, it was bleeding, and my friend who was hardly speaking English called 911 to get medical help to me, but instead it was police. They came in and left. I would never guess that there would be a record... of property destruction!!! Luckily, it was dismissed. So the record lived its own life separate from me...

So what happened at the interview when the broken window issue came up? Did the IO ask any questions about it? Asked to see any relevant documentation?
