I haven't been on as long as you have but I have been here a while. You are right that the site has changed and I think a lot of that is people trying to seek answers to skirt around the laws or find ways around laws they think are impractical. So that has led to people coming on here and trying to set them right on different things. Not to mention that immigration law has come to the fore front of the national debate now. But congratulations on your citizenship

Sometimes people being honest/direct when giving factual immigration info can be seen as rude by the person asking the question if it doesn't align with their own belief/thoughts.  Not saying this to you in particular, just a general observation over my time here on this site.

 

Shoot the messenger happens quite frequently on VJ.

Wish you well ..my experience was a very Easy one..being from Canada may have helped that or the fact I crossed my t's dotted my i's and made sure I kept my butt out of trouble not even a parking ticket.

I had a total of 2 interviews in this whole deal 

1 at the Montreal consulate to get my K1 visa and the N400 everything else just came back approved ..and I didn't rush things I didn't need to. 

 

Oh and if your curious ..It took 72 day from when I sent in my Naturalization online until taking the Oath
