Our appointment was 10.45 and we came only 10 min early. Waiting area looked like the one in the airport and was quite full. Despite the note on the appointment letter that cell phones are not permitted everyone was using them.
Well, we waited an hour or maybe even a bit longer before we finally got called. We had 2 interviewers (one was on training). We had standard questions like where we met, when strted dating and so on, not many though. No harassment whatsoever. Interview lasted 10 min tops and most of it IO was trying to straight all of the many papers in our file.
Overall, very plesant experience.

Our appointment was for 2 pm at the DC office, which is in Fairfax, VA. We made sure to arrive by 1:30 so we could have time to park and walk in. We parked behind the building, which I almost missed because it said "metro riders parking", but it turns out anyone could park there. Make sure to bring some cash for the parking fee! We walked from the back to the front entrance, and went through the security area with metal detectors, etc. We were instructed to go up to the second floor and "check in" at the reception desk. On the second floor, the waiting room is on the left, we walked in and handed our interview notice to the receptionist. People being naturalized were asked to sit on the left side of the room and people there for adjustment of status interviews were asked to wait on the right side.
There were quite a few people there when we checked in, and we ended up waiting until 2:40 before our names were called! I was getting nervous because people who arrived after ... read complete review

Today, we had our interview for Adjustment of Status at the Fairfax, VA district office. Our appointment was for 1:30, and we arrived around 1:00. We had to wait in line to go through security, which was a bit hectic (a lot of people in line and several people asking if they could cut in line b/c they just wanted to ask security guard for forms or something), but eventually got through it and upstairs to the interview waiting room by 1:15.
Our lawyer met us there, and we sat waiting and chatting for a while. Around maybe 1:50, our name got called by a young man at the door – and I think my husband’s heart almost stopped. His hands were totally clammy; he was very nervous. But the man who greeted us and took us back to his office seemed very calm and laid-back – a young, clean-cut black man (looked to be about 30 years old). His laid-back attitude about it put us at ease as he took us into his office.
He introduced himself as Officer Burton, and said... read complete review

319(b) Naturalization Interview:
Background: On January 10th, 2008, I received orders for reassignment to Italy. Under Section 319(b) of INA my wife could apply for expedited naturalization since I am a US Federal Employee on assignment orders overseas. I quickly gathered all of the required documentation including having my director sign a DD Form 1278 and submitting that with her application packet to Vermont Service Center. We submitted the packet on January 14th, it was received on January 18th, and we received our first notice on January 27th 2008.
On February 27th, my wife received an email from Agent Bridges @ in the 319(b) section of the Washington, DC USCIS Field office requesting to select an interview date of March 14, 21, or 28. She selected the 14th. She replied to the email. Two hours later she received a PDF I-797c telling her to report to USCIS Office in Fairfax, VA @ 8:00 am on March 14th.
Fast forward to March 14th, 2008. ... read complete review

We arrived ten minutes early and presented our interview notice. Five minutes after our scheduled time my name was called in and we were greeted by a nice IO lady, she swore us in and asked for our ID's.
We had a little detour when she openly asked us when we first met. I answered March 05 and my wife 06... oops! My bad, she was correct. I quickly learned to answer only when she was looking directly at me :-)... Suspecting funny stuff, she started firing random general chronological questions about our relationship... luckily we got them all right and were back on track. Phew!
She then proceeded to ask me the "have you ever..." type of questions from the I-485 form and then she asked for any evidence of marriage documents. No problem there I had a stack of stuff... She ended up keeping our bank statement, phone bills, house purchase agreement and our last tax return and also asked for my wife’s last pay stub. While I was fetching docs she flipped... read complete review
