In my case i work in San Diego(local USCIS office San Diego) and Live in Irvine(local USCIS office in Santa Ana)

If possible i'd definitely wwant to avoid Santa Ana 1) Because of it slow processing time and 2) as its quite far from my work place.

Might be a dumb question to ask here but do we get to choose our local office for interview or is it the USCIS who decides.

USCIS decides based on where you live.

Just for an update, I got an update today May 1, 2015 that they would mail an interview schedule to me. I have not received the mail yet but I guess it will be in a couple of weeks.

For reference:

They received my application on 11/05/2014

I have been in line for interview since 12/10/2014

@Pyakurelk: Can you please tell us your experience in the interview?

Congratulations!

One important thing:

He kept your green card?

That was a mistake... you need your green card to travel and as proof of your residency. You will also need to submit your green card at the oath ceremony.

You should contact the office and ask for your green card back.
