Citizenship

Hi everyone,

just adding my experience to give back to all the helpful posts i've read thats assisted me throughout this (and my GC originally too!)
Circumstances - N400 through spouse, (after a 3Year GC), we've been married 16 years, have 4 kids... (who are all dual citizens US/Aus) ... it went a lot easier and smoother than i expected so...

My GC was granted Jun2015...
Application Received - May21 2018
Biometrics scheduled - May25 2018
Biometrics done - Jun15 2018
Biometrics reviewed - Jun15 2018
Interview scheduled - Jul26 2018
Interview done - Sep04 2018
Interview approved - Sep04 2018
Ceremony scheduled - Sep18 2018

Had my wife with me for the interview, which i read was not necessary but just a 'nice to do in case' your IO wonders where or why they're not with you... (spouse cannot attend the interview anyway...). I had submitted the application all online along with scans of supporting documents, other than my GC and Drivers Licence, my IO didn't ask for anything else though i had brought it all along with me.
I was asked to verify all my details, addresses etc, spouse, kids details, and then the questions regarding affiliations etc.
My IO gave the civics test (note - it's NOT multiple choice, you're just expected to listen and answer verbally...) , read a sentence and wrote a sentence and was then advised that she's recommending me for approval and gave me the N654 advising... she told me that i should expect a letter within a month for the ceremony scheduling and another month (usually) for the actual ceremony.
But to my surprise (and happiness) , i got an update on my portal overnight that 'action had been taken' and when i logged in, i saw that it had been approved and my scheduled ceremony date is 18th Sept, less than 2 weeks away !

So again, thanks for all those who have shared their experiences (good and bad) and for everyone else going through the process, all the best and wishing you good outcomes also.
