The Charlotte field office is clean and bright inside. There is ample seating and a TV with the news on. The staff are very professional and friendly. You are required to remove belt and shoes and go through an x-ray before entering (similar to the airport). You then go into a large waiting room and check in at the first window on the left by handing in your letter with the interview date/time on it. You check in with her, and she calls you back up in a few minutes with a number stapled to your letter. The interviewing officer then come through the main door to call you up by your number. Sorry, but spouses cannot go with you (I brought a paperback to read while I waited). They introduce themselves to you and bring you back to a private office.
My husband brought the letter, his greencard and my US birth certificate, and our marriage license. He brought other documents but no others were needed. The officer went over the Yes/No questions from the form, then conducted the civics exam. She then said he was approved and that the oath ceremony would be the following Thursday. She was very approachable and not intimidating. Overall the staff made what could be a stressful day as pleasant as possible. From what I've read others report, the ceremony should be just as nice.
