Interviews are down to your local office not your service center. Where is your local office?

Did your driver's license suffice for that purpose? I heard from another applicant recently that he was asked to provide copies of older driver's licenses as well....which of course he did not have (Most states take them back when you move and apply for a new license). But that was a strange request since the officer must have known that it is not possible to hold on to DLs from states once you move out from there.
It did. They took my drivers license, green card and passport.

Folks who are appearing for interviews in the next few weeks (or who did appear recently)...please do share your experiences here so we can all prepare as best as possible! Particularly curious about the questions asked outside the Civics test....any questions you did not anticipate, or request for docs that you did not have on hand.
The only other questions they asked were the ones on the application. I assume to just to make sure nothing has changed since you applied. They did ask for a state ID in addition to my Green Card which was the only thing I was not expecting.

Chicago checking in!
Had my interview on 2021/09/24 and received my notice that I was approved and awaiting an Oath Ceremony the next day. I was told the wait for the ceremony is currently 6 - 8 weeks but I will update you all when I get scheduled. As for the interview itself it was really straightforward, they started with a little paperwork, moved on to the tests and then just ran through my application. All in all it was about 15 mins in the interview and about 10 mins wait beforehand.

Hi all,
Congratulations to the ones who got their card coming in the mail!
I am a WAC filer at CSC, it has been 6 months and i have not gotten a bio appointment letter. Tried opening a SR but system says that my case is within normal processing time range. Do you think i should invest some time in calling USCIS number to inquire about this? Or is this normal to not get the appointment letter?
During AOS process i remember they also forgot to mail me an appointment letter. I had to inquire after about 4.5 months and make an INFOPASS where the officer told me he doesn't know why they missed me in sending the appointment letter. That time they took all the prints on the spot, but i regretted not making an infopass earlier to get the EAD card.
Kinda worried now, that this maybe the same case again and they forgot or missed me in the pile or something.
Biometric appointments are canceled for the foreseeable future due to COVID-19. They will either reuse your old prints or you have to wait until they reopen if they feel they need to retake them.

Any Nebraska Service Center (LIN) folk seen any movement? I got the "fingerprints taken" message 5/14 but no local office transfer yet.

The typing may have been done after they left the desk and before the next person was called forward. CBP have every right to "warn" people about various things (although why your in-laws were so focused on other people's discussions with the desk agents is another matter) relating to immigration. Only USCs have the right to enter the country. Everyone else, your in-laws included, must request permission and understand that the permission can be denied at any time. Are they retired? A B-2 for longer stays might be more appropriate. Many retirees from VWP countries have had success with B-2 applications.
Best advice in the thread. B-2 should be your next move.

You need to speak to an immigration attorney. Your situation falls well within the "special handling required" category and I would be surprised if anyone here would be able to give you good advice for such a unique scenario.
That being said, good luck with everything and I hope it works out!

are they helping care for the grand child? watching it when you go out or doing any regular activities with the child?
This is an excellent point. There is a thread somewhere else on this forum where Grandparents were barred from entry as they were providing "child care services" and this was seen as working illegally.

Sorry one more question. They are thinking of applying for Global Entry this fall. Will that cause any issues?
If the officer has already "flagged" them then yes, this could be a problem
