Had my interview today...passed with no problems. Now I wait for Oath ceremony as I have some travel plans and had to re-schedule original date. Notes from visit: 1. 2 others from the Fort Myers area in the office at the same time as me 2. I was interviewed 30 minutes after scheduled time 3. Did not ask for identification at start of interview 4. First thing to ask was where/why was I out of the country between the time of application and interview. 5. After questioning about absence from country it was the normal process: civics, read/write, and go over questions at the end of the application One last thing, do not be late...1 guy was late 3 hours and they refused to see him and he had to wait 30 days for a re-schedule

Also, my online estimated time until case decision jumped from 4 months to 10 months once USCIS scheduled interview...so not really accurate.

GC for 14 years and no i-751 Not sure about less processing time for 5 year vs 3 year marriage basis though I do think the more complex a case the longer it takes...plus staffing levels at each office. Will try to get more info on the Fort Myers office...but my interview is in Tampa so they may not say much.

Oh, and the interview is in Tampa

FYI, for Fort Myers office: I filed N-400 on August 4, 2022. Just received notice (1/30/23) of interview scheduled for March 21. So approximately 6 months from time of receipt and bio metrics reuse to get interview. Not too bad I am thinking even though many on here got interview faster. Fingers crossed I pass with flying colors.

Filed Aug 4th with Fort Myers office and still waiting for interview. HHHmmmm...
