Are you saying that her interview date will probably be in 2 weeks from Dec 11th or Jan 10th (since you rescheduled yours)?

2 weeks after Jan 10th - since exactly two weeks ago they sent me an interview letter for Jan 10th and this is the same office.

Regarding the spouse, I think it depends on the office and the officer.

When my other friend was naturalizing at Chatsworth CA (I think it was a year or two ago), she didn't bring the spouse with her, but they told her that the spouse should be present since she applied under a 3-year rule. They didn't want to approve her without one. She finally convinced them after showing numerous text messages/pictures on her phone.

Just read through the experiences of your USCIS office. Maybe they're not that strict and your spouse wouldn't need to take a day-off. I read the interview experiences, where the spouse was sitting in the waiting room the whole time.

My husband went without me - no problems for him. The spouse doesn't get to go into the interview room.

ETA: I would have gone with him if it was convenient - but it was more convenient for me to stay home with our daughter than to take her with us.

I have a question about the interview, do you need to bring your spouse? I am planning on going with my mother in-law.

I don't think you need to go with your spouse.

I had the same question when I was going for my interview. I scouted the threads for people that had gone through my local office(Los Angeles). I sent a private message to each of them asking whether they went with their spouse. I got a lot of responses and made up my mind not to go with my spouse, based on their experiences. It just wasn't worth taking a day off to sit in the waiting room, just so the IO can see him/her sitting with you when you are called.

Jeez, a third one?! It's probably another mistake.
