Arrived around 30 minutes before a 9am N400 interview. By the standards of the other USCIS field offices I've visited, small, reasonably well organised office. Having made it through security, I saw multiple people walk through and not see that they were required to check in at the first window.
After getting through security and checking in, I sat for about 15 minutes before I was called back to my interview (about 10 minutes earlier than my invitation.) I was met by a very polite young officer, who was being shadowed by a far older officer who was training him. They really did a fantastic job of putting me at ease--the older officer chatted about the recent passing of Malcolm Young after they noted my Australian citizenship.
Moving through the actual formalities of the interview--I was asked to take the oath, and then confirmed the details of my application. At no point was I asked for any documentation of any kind.
For the reading test, I was asked to read the question "Who lives in the White House?" and then asked to write the phrase "The President Lives in the White House." My 6 questions:
1) Name your state's governor (Kasich)
2) Name two national holidays (Columbus day, Thanksgiving)
3) Who was the first president? (Washington)
4) What movement tried to end racial discrimination? (Civil Rights)
5) What's one promise people make when they become citizens? (Defend the Constitution)
6) Where is the statue of liberty? (NY Harbor)
The officer said congratulations, stamped my form, said that I would receive my oath letter within the next couple of weeks.
