Did I really muck up my N400 interview?

[abfar 119]

So after nearly 2 years of waiting, I finally get my N400 Interview. 

I pass the civics test / written / writing. Officer asks me about yes/now questions if I'll be loyal to the US, have I ever been part of rebel group etc.

 

After that, he inquired if I've any documents on me to show if we're still living together. This was unexpected for me. I was unprepared foolishly. I only had our jointly file tax return Transcripts for the last 4 years (minus for year 2021 which we're yet to file). I wish I had taken out our joint bank account statements. My wife also doesn't drive and hasn't updated our new address on her drivers license. It still says the old address where we lived 2 years ago.  I'm not sure how much of a big muck up this. We have a 6 year old kit between us.

 

But the lack of proof is something that in hindsight now seems like a my doing. Initially with the N400 filing 2 years ago, I did upload scans of our driving licenses that showed the same address for both us and also uploaded health insurance letters sent to both of us with same address. But if the officer checked the wife's license recently, it obviously pointed to an old address and we don't have a car anymore so no joint auto insurance card. I do have records of our auto insurance from a year ago where it had both our names on the card but not sure how useful that is and if its even a good idea to send extra proof via mail or through the USCIS account when they haven't asked for anything yet. The only scary scenario for me now is it seems you've to sit and wait 4 months after interview to even file a request for update. So they can just put the file in a corner somewhere and add another 4 months to my already 2 year old application.

The officer told me he cannot make a decision yet as they need to review my file. I asked how long it takes and he said 30-60 days if not sooner and left.

The same day, I saw 3 status updates but I'm not sure what to make of these. I've seen horror stories here where people have been stuck in a limbo for 4 months to even up to 1-2 years in such cases when a decision is not made the same day. Any idea what to make of these status updates below (screenshot) or whether I'm panicking unnecessarily?

The IO mistakenly scheduled your oath before the review was done.
 

I expect you will get an RFE or an oath ceremony date set in the next 30 days.

Crazy thing is that for my interview i was missing a disposition of one of my cases & the IO especifically told me that he couldnt approved me that day but gave me a case number to help the court find my disposition because they had written my last name so messed up during that arrest that there was no way the could have found my disposition. He also told me that as soon as i submitted the disposition he was approving my case which he did just that a week after i mailed him the paper. I say this to say that he could have given you a little more help but didnt.
