I have my oath ceremony tomorrow at Federal Plaza building. My address is in Brooklyn. What exactly should I write in the "Signed at City and State" field on the form?

New York, NY.  You are signing it in Manhattan.

Hey all! October 2020 applicant here. My interview has been scheduled for September 7 at Federal Plaza. I am getting my documents together (did not expect it to be scheduled this quickly since I only did my biometrics last Monday!). I am applying based on the 5 year rule and was wondering if they are going to check my tax transcripts/returns? Does anyone have any recent interview experiences? 

Yes, they put a huge emphasis on my wife and my tax returns and even received an RFE because they read the paperwork wrong, which pissed me off because you'd think they'd know how to read simple transcripts.

 

They said we owed taxes when we in fact received refunds every single time.  We had to prove otherwise, but it was an easy RFE that only took two weeks to resolve and she got approved.  The amount of frustration was immense.

 

They wanted tax returns for every single year we were married.  

 

As always, your mileage may vary and they  might or might not ask you a thing, so just be prepared.

Thanks! one more question. On the first page of oath ceremony letter it is asked to bring "Any other documents USCIS issued to you...". Do I need to bring my passport that includes the I-551 stamp which I have received before receiving my green card?

My wife brought her expired passport with K1 VISA stamp, her current Dominican passport but they didn't collect them.  

 

Just her EAD/AP combo cards, 2 year and 10 year Green Cards. 

 

Bring yours just in case.

I called USCIS concerning an upcoming N-400 interview. I was advised that it was in the Brooklyn, NY office. I asked for the address and was told Jacob Javits Center at 26 Federal Plaza.

 

That is in Manhattan, not Brooklyn.

 

Are all the NYC N-400 interviews at 26 Federal Plaza or is it possible that it could be at one of local offices?

 

I'm still waiting for the notice in the mail but it would be disastrous to go to the wrong location.

All local offices are located in Federal Plaza - Just different floors.

Hi, just wondering if any Queens Nov 2020 filers have received an interview date yet? 
Filed in Nov 2020 based on 5 year rule and received NOA on 12/01/2020. Biometric reuse letter received on 02/11/2021 and have received no updates since then!!
