Told someone to do this. I was heckled. I knew I was not wrong.

In all fairness, it likely depends on where your local infopass enter is. Even in rural south carolina, he was informed had it been busier they wouldnt have been able to take him. Imagine in a city of any size larger than that.

Yes that is correct. You have to make sure you go at a time when it will not be busy, they open at 6AM and I was there first thing in the morning and they took me in but they did explain that had they been busy they would've said no and I had to come back another day and try.

I did the same thing twice here in Los Angeles, both for my i-485 and my i-751 and it was never an issue. Always did it after 1pm as they're less busy then. Didn't do it for my N-400 because of the pandemic, they were very strict then.

Exactly. Every time I go to my local office, they are always chilling and this is Houston. Been there 3 times during this immigration journey. It was only 1 time that i was there and had to atleast wait for 20 mins (old location).

I know my local office so good that the last time I went there, I pointed to one of the officials that it looked different from the one I visited last. Anyway, the lady told me that it was just their first month at the new location. They had just moved 3 mins drive up the street.

And I do not disagree. 

I was pointing out that someone can try. That is what I had advised and was heckled and told that is impossible during this COVID era. Nonetheless. I am sure if you have a few hours to burn and get to support center during off-peak, it would not be an issue. I was still hanged, though I even explained my reasoning like I just did here.

I had my interview yesterday in Las Vegas. It was super easy and quick. If the officer didn't have a problem with his computer I probably would've been in and out in ten minutes. Unfortunately Las Vegas doesn't do same day Oath Ceremonies and I was told it will take 30 - 60 day to be scheduled My status on myuscis updated to "Case Was Submitted For Quality Review Based On An Approval Recommendation". I hope it's a standard process and I will have my Ceremony date sooner than later.

Hey folks. I finally have my interview this week and I am confused with the prep.
I applied for naturalization (N-400) in PA in July 2020 and moved to GA shortly after. I filed the AR-11 to notify USCIS of my address change in Aug 2020 but got invited to N400 interview in PA in June 2021. I am going to the interview in PA with evidence of AR-11 and ideally want to do oath ceremony right there.
 

1. Should I provide the answers to the questions for state governor / representative for GA (new state) or PA (old state, where interview is taking place)?
2. How likely can I do the oath ceremony right after the interview in PA (Philly office), if I am no longer a resident there?

I would ask the officer this question at the beginning of the interview.

You did the correct thing by filing address change. However, had I been you, I would have used new address right from the beginning. I have a friend who changed address then a week later got notice for interview at former address. He went and did the interview. Unfortunately, the IO said she passed but the case has to be transferred to her new FO. Still waiting to see if she's gonna get new interview or just skip straight to oath coz she already passed her interview at former address.
