Citizenship

Hi all - my N-400 interview is scheduled next month at the Washington DC / Fairfax office and it's based on the 3 year rule (i.e. married to US citizen for 3 years). The interview notice states that the only persons that I may bring are a) interpreter, b) lawyer or c) an individual to assist in case of disability. I don't have a need for any of those. Also, I have an approved I-751 (no RFE, no transfer and no interview) and already have my 10 year green card.

I have read conflicting advice on this. There's an argument advocating for having your spouse with you for either psychological reasons (officer sees spouse in waiting room and that re-enforces marriage) or if the officer decides during the interview they need to ask spouse directly. I have also read that the spouse is not needed as long as the marriage documentation is solid. FWIW, I think my case is solid - marriage is strong, we've been living together at the same address for many years, solid documentation on tax filings, financial co-mingling, etc. etc. - I mean that was the basis of the I-751 approval anyway.

Thoughts on this? Any personal experiences that you can share?

Thanks a lot!
