Interviewed today
Uneventful interview. Passed and was told to expect the oath letter in a month or so.
It might be useful to carry couple of extra photos to interview because for many applicants in the waiting room, INS had misplaced their photos and they were being asked to go get photos and come back. and the INS officer was saying that it happens so often that many shops around INS have photo facilities.
Check out epassportphotos.com on how to make your own cheap ($.10 for 6 photos) passport photos.
People who were interviewed in Dec/Jan, please post as soon as you get oath letters
PD: 8/8/05, FP: 9/21/05, Interview 01/05/06

Interviewed today
Hi,
We had our interview today (1/10).
The officer was very nice and curtious. He took us little late but all our family members were interviewed by the same officer. he took about 15mnts for each person and went through the n-400 application line by line followed by quiz of 10 questions.
He told us to expect the oth letter some time next month but before end of April. Regarding travel (out of US) before oath, he said travel as before with greencard.
Thanks for every one posting their experiences here. They are very helpful.
Please post when you receive a oath.

interview
I had my interview yesterday.
Officer went through my application then asked me to write "I want to be an American citizen".
He asked me 10 civic and history questions (from 96 questions posted on CIS web site).
He did not need any addtional papers (tax transcripts, dmv records and etc.) eventhough I did bring it with me.
Then I was asked to sign my photos and he handed out the congratulation
form where it says that I have passed the civic/history test and congratulation....
I've asked the officer if anything pending in my case and I was told No and I should get the oath letter within two months.
