I just had my interview in Charleston, SC today. I was in and out within 15 Minutes. My officer asked me 6 questions:
1. Who wrote the Declaration of Independence?
2. Who is in charge of the executive branch?
3. What is the political party of the President?
4. What are the two major political parties in the U.S.?
5. There were 13 original states. Name three.
I can't remember the 6th...
I had to write one sentence and read one sentence, besides going over my paperwork.
It was smooth cruising and the entire staff was very friendly.
I'm well inside a month from my anniversary date, which is 4/10.
Anyway, I'm happy to report that my case is moving much faster now. I got another update today (3/30/17) that my interview has been scheduled and a letter with the details mailed to me. I'm on my phone atm so could somebody with a computer please update the master list? Thanks! I'll put in the date of the interview when the letter arrives.
You're effectively delivering to a PO box, so USPS priority mail works well for that. Fedex and UPS don't deliver to PO boxes so they give you a different address to send to in the guidelines.
I used USPS and was very happy with how it went: you can track the package all the way from dropoff to someone picking it up from the lockbox. Unless anyone else can recommend why Fedex or UPS would be a better bet, I'd say USPS priority is hard to beat.

Just wanted to report in that there were no issues getting the stamp at the Manchester Field Office (NH). They did take away his green card, as expected, when they put the stamp in his passport. At least he's all set for another year. I am hoping that we start seeing Feb 2016 filers approved next month.
