I had my interview, and everything was very smooth. Arrived about 25 minutes before my 2PM appointment. About 15 people were in the waiting area, and everyone seemed very relaxed and happy to be there. I was called in around 2:05PM by a very nice lady.

After giving me the oath, she asked for my passport, GC, and driver license but only glanced at my GC before giving all the documents back to me. She went over the application with me and shuffled paper work while beginning to ask questions pertaining to the civics test. She asked me six questions and then asked me to sign the passport photos. The she casually remarked that I my application has been approved.. The transition from going over the N-400 to the signing of the photos was so smooth that I never realized I was being tested until the interview was over. I was in her office for about 20 minutes because nothing was rushed. In all, the interview was professional but relaxing.

I may be able to get in for the July 2nd oath ceremony, but the IO was not able to guarantee it.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone. :):):):)
 
Congratulations! :) All in all, from reading many interview experiences, most interview experiences are good.
 
Congrats! And yes I do agree with Huracan that most interviews go as smoothly as you described. On a side note, I was also surprised at how seamlessly my IO transitioned from asking me questions to the test items and then back to finishing up the questions in the N400.

I had a very similar experience except that mine lasted about 10 minutes and I was asked to send documents demonstrating proof of residence. BTW, what DO is this at? Mine was at the San Francisco office.
 
Hi there, immigrateful..

My DO is in Sacramento. When was your interview, and did you have your oath yet? I did not even realize how worked up I got myself about the interview until it was over. The last couple of nights, I slept really good again. No flash cards in my dreams. With that in mind, I shall say 'Good night.':D

It is amazing how worked up people get. My wife was so worked up that the officer asked her relax and asked if she wanted something to drink. Everything went smoothly and she became a citizen in no time. I think if you are not a criminal and have done nothing wrong there is nothing to worry. These officer are true professionals.

I think for many of us it is just our nature to freak out.
