Just got home from my interview. Recommended for approval!

 

The whole interview took about 20 minutes; the officer was the same lady that did our green card interview back in 2016. 

I applied using 3-year rule, so the officer started with asking me if my marriage was in good standing, then she asked me to confirm my date of birth and address, then asked me civics questions (she asked 6, I answered all correctly). Then she did the English language part: I had to read a sentence from a tablet and then write a sentence on the same tablet. After this, she asked me about the traffic violations that I mentioned on my applications. I had two minor fender-benders back in 2013-2014 and I submitted the documents proving that I paid the fines. I also brought printed out copies of those, but she didn't ask for them. Then, she asked me questions from the application (have I ever been a terrorist, a vigilante, etc, do I promise to respect the Constitution). After all this, I had to confirm that my information is correct and she said that I should get oath ceremony appointment within two months. I'm changing my middle name, so it's going to be a courthouse ceremony.

My status on the USCIS website is still the same, but it'll probably take a couple of days to update.

 

This is a huge relief! I've been super stressed out about the interview!

Congrats!

Just like this very day, and in these hours of the year 2015, I was up in the air en route from Germany and about to land in USA for the first time. Tomorrow marks my 5th year anniversary in the US. A lot happened in these 5 years but I am grateful for everything, good and bad. Life is a gift so we must appreciate it. Good luck everyone!

The immigration process caused me PTSD.

Congratulations to all the appointments and good luck with the upcoming interviews!

 

The odd thing about my account is that the estimated case completion date says May 2020 (4 months) and it says the same thing on the bottom for Estimated wait time: 4 months. A while ago this used to be labeled as March but went up to May. 

 

San Antonio office, filed 05Oct and Bio 07Nov filing on 3 year rule.

Finally got caught up reading through all this thread. We are similar in that the estimated completion date says June 2020 but for Estimated Wait time it says 4 months. However now lots of posts with people having movement so I am wondering how accurate this is! We were actually planning a 2 week trip abroad for April and now I'm a bit nervous to with the random timeline changes. We filed Oct 19, Biometrics Nov.1 Online it just says we have reviewed your biometrics and nothing else....
