pretty quick - in-n-out actually.
I did overhear some guys sitting behind in waiting hall cribbing that they have been waiting for almost 2 hrs now. So dont know how this works.

If anything - I would say, just dont sweat.
By the way, the A-file that was in front of my officer - man, that was humongous!

I was so nervous because I have issue with my tax. So, I brought all the documents with me. Anyway, I was 15 minutes late because I made a wrong turn. Then, it's even worse, I forgot my wallet in the car more detail but it wasn't important. I dropped my interview letter around 8:40AM. I thought it will extend my interview time. However, within 15 minutes. IO call my name still nervous. So, I forgot all of my documents on a chair(HAHHAHAH). IO was so nice. He asked me some everyday life question which make me feel more relax. When I got in the room, there were 2 IO(supervisor and trainee IO). It made me feel even worse. However, everything went smoothly.
First, the supervisor asked me to raise my right hand...and so on.
Then, trainee IO start all the process. He asked for GC and DL.
Then, Verified more info and all the info on the application. Ask about my job, since I put my work address as a headquarter which is in West Coast. He said you're not driving to work over there, right. So, I told him where I work exactly (SHOW: traffic citation - I have extra copy on hand. So, IO took it and put it on file.)
Then, Civic test(EDIT LATER)
Then, he asked me to read a question. He answer the question(I write that answer).
Then, he went out to check oath time. He said if my interview time at 9, I would get oath time at 10. So, he asked if I can come back at 2PM. I said YES.
At the Oath Ceremony, I need to summit a paper that IO gave. It asked pretty much the same stuff on N400(only some). To make sure that you're not changing anything because some people do not get the same day oath. about 50 people at the oath ceremony.

Current Status Update
Here is my current Status Update:
Me and wife went for FP on 13rd Oct (Scheduled Date). Wife's staus updated on 24th Oct and IL received on 29th Oct for Interview on 30th Nov. My status finally changed on 4th Nov to Testing and Interview. But I did not get any IL. I started calling USCIS from 20th Nov but every time got to dumb Cust serv reps who kept on saying to wait for 30 days. Then came Thanks Giving Holidays. I decided to schedule infopass appointment for 30th Nov (the day my wife had Interview).
We reached DO at 9:30 for 10:30 interview of my wife as I have scheduled info pass at 9:45 AM for me. We could get hold of a good rep and good IO, who understood my situation and got hold of their counterpart at NBC. They informed me that my interview is scheduled on 9th Dec at 8:30 AM and I would be getting another IL in mail within next 3/4 days. They also said, if I do not get any thing by Monday (7th Dec), schedule another infopass for 8th Dec.
Now about my wife's interview, she was called at 10:20 and was done in 6 minutes. Showed GC and PP, civic questions asked, reading/writing and asked for any change in application (for which she said no) and then she was asked few yes/no questions from application at random (not all). She was given letter passed test and interview and wait for Oath Letter. We were out of DO by 10:30 AM. Now we are waiting for Oath letter for her. Oath in Kansas City is scheduled on 18th Dec and I hope she gets into that because I believe next oath is in Feb so that means 2 months wait, which will be very much painful.
Just now I got a call from my wife that my IL has been delivered in mail today and my Interview is scheduled for 9th Dec. So after going through rough time courtsey USCIS
, I am back on track for ID on 9th Dec.
Good luck to all the friends.

Good Morning Guys, I have my interview tomorrow at 11:15 am (NYC-Federal Plaza). I feel confident and optimistic, however I am a little nervous and excited; you can't control some human feelings. I am listening the CD for the very last time and ready for tomorrow. (I have to work today, it will help me to be distracted about my interview).

best of luck ITE.
No IL letter for spouse..
Me and spouse received email updates on 11/26 saying the case is transfered to local office. And I received my interview letter 11/30 ( Mailed on 11/24). But no IL letter for spouse.. I am wondering if it got mis-placed by post office in mail due to all holiday mails..
What would be the next step?. Can I call and check if IL was mailed for spouse?
Thanks,

Thanks,
Same thiung happened with me. We got IL for spouse but not for me. Cust Serv were hope less and never told me any thing other than what I knew. Finally I had to take info pass and I got new IL just days before my interview. (Read my post in this thread reply # 350).
Good luck.
Good luck iteusa. Please post your interview experience after you are done.
The cust serv number is 1-800-375-5283. But they probably won't help you much until and unless you come across a nice cs rep. I did not get one in many attempts I made.
I think you still have time. Since your interview is in Jan, you can wait for a week or two and then raise red flag probably around 20th Dec. For info pass appointment go to https://infopass.uscis.gov/info_en.php and then you can follow instructions. Good luck.
