I had my interview last week, and took my oath yesterday. I could have taken oath same day, but I requested a few days later for work scheduling issues. The IO had no problem honoring my request, and asked me which date I wanted.
The interview itself was as simple and painless as possible. It barely lasted 10 minutes. I didn't have to wait before the interview either - in fact, I was called in a few minutes before the time on my letter. The only documents she wanted to see are GC, DL, and passport. Not a single other thing. We did the civics questions first, then the English, and then she breezed through the form.
I had gotten a ticket in 2010, which I disclosed. When she got there, she asked, other than this ticket, have you had any other issues with the law? I said no, and she moved on.
In the end, it was rather anti-climactic! I spent countless hours gathering piles and piles of documents - financial, taxes, insurance, birth certificates, proof of travel, court disposition for ticket, leases, mortgage, etc. etc. Nothing was needed or asked for. I felt exactly how I used to feel in school when I would spend days studying for an exam, and later it turned out to be the easiest exam ever. Still, no complaints! BTW, my IO was an extremely attractive young woman, which made the interview even better.
This forum has been an invaluable source of help as I went through I-485, I-751, and now N-400. This is so much better than hiring an incompetent lawyer, and I urge everyone to file themselves unless they have a complex case. Many thanks to all the experts on this forum who donate their time!
