Received Receipt Notice and Biometrics Waiver Notice within an hour or two of online submission.
The Interview appointment was for 12:45. We arrived at 12:10 and she went in at 12:20 without issue.
She was immediately directed to have her biometrics done (they were waived previously). From there she went to the waiting room and was seen right around her interview time. The interviewing officer was remote, she communicated with him via a tablet and headphones. She said the guy was quite gruff and never smiled once (or even said she got an answer correct) but never was out of line.
They started with the Civics Questions:
1. We elect a President for how many years?
2. Name one state that borders Canada.
3. Who was the first President?
4. What are two ways that Americans can participate in their democracy?
5. Who is the governor of your state?
6. What movement tried to end racial discrimination?
This was followed by the Reading:
She forgets but it was something to do with George Washington.
And Writing:
George Washington was the first president.
Then he started confirming the N400 information. He didn't ask every single item in the N400 but asked a good chunk both initially and while waiting for submitted documents to be scanned in (which took a bunch of time because they were so busy).
After that, he asked for a joint bank account statement (we didn't bring it), so she suggested our most recent tax return which he accepted. He also asked for a copy of our lease, which we provided. From there he asked her a bunch of questions about our marriage (where did we get married, what's her job, what's my job, etc.) Interestingly, he never asked her for my (the US Citizen spouse) birth certificate or divorce papers or for our marriage certificate.
At the end of the interview, while they were waiting for some documents to be scanned in by the staff, he asked "Do you see the printer?" To which she responded yes, thinking he wanted her to scan something in because it was taking SO long. He said that he is going to send something to her. It was her approval. When she picked it up, he said "Congratulations, you passed." He then stated that in Washington, you will have a same day ceremony and the assistant will be in shortly to provide you with further instructions, before immediately hanging up. All in all the interview took around 45min-1 hour.
The assistant came in immediately after he hung up and directed her to the auditorium. They waited until a certain number of people were present and performed the ceremony at around 1:55. As she left, she saw they were already queueing up the next batch of approvals.
