Has anyone done an early interview?

ok, so i've just received the I797C notice (interview appointment notice). It's scheduled on November 8 2011, so i'm wondering if they will let me do the interview early. It's weird that they did let me do the fingerprint a week earlier !!

Never heard of an early interview. You should go on your scheduled day.

As far as I'm aware when you said "they let me do my fingerprints early" you mean you just went and did a walk in biometrics appointment? They didn't "let" you do it, and some offices won't accept it, so as the other posters said, there is no way to have a N400 interview before the one they assign to you.

Personally I've been grateful that my appointments and interviews have been within my local office timelines, some poor people on here have to wait months past their schedule dates without hearing anything..

Nope. I didn't just walk in and Yes "They did let me do it", because there were two officers at the front desk and anyone walks in had to see either one of them regardless. And i told them hey here's my finger print appointment,but i can't come on the scheduled day.... he said "oh, well,, do you want to do it now? there's no one in the line..............."

It was not possible for me to just walk in. By the way, my local USCIS office looks so serious. They scan your body to see if you have any weapons or anything like that.

So far I have not heard from anybody who successfully even attempted a walk-in interview for naturalization, but I also haven't seen pigs fly either. Still, I can't deduct from this that no pig can fly. Maybe there are flying pigs after all!

The only way for you to find out is by going to the place that's listed on your interview notice early in the morning, ask for the Office Manager and inquire politely if they would be so kind to squeeze your interview in that day. How knows, maybe it will work and we all would benefit from knowing.

By all means, report back to us with the result!
