11th Mar 2019. - Interview approved
11th Mar 2019. - Status changed on website to "approved and wait to attend ceremony"
I travel a shitload for work and had 87 International trips over the 5 years of green card which all had to be reviewed during the interview. Interview was 3 stages - first was a young girl verifying information and updating travel completed site application - second stage was the civics test and English test - very quick, just memorize the 100 questions they offer on the USCIS website but remember they are multi choice on the website but would will not be given multi choice options on day of test, last stage was the interview, I waited 2 hours for mine, but when the IO came out and got me he apologies for the delay and explained he had to grab second IO to go through my travel to calculate the days in and out of country correctly.
I get married in August this year and was adamant I wanted citizenship beforehand so that I could tell myself I got here on my own dime and not through marriage, no offense intended to anyone that got citizenship that what, just a personal challenge I gave myself. Now though with the damn zombie apocalypse we find ourselves in and all of the USCIS offices and naturalization ceremonies cancelled for the foreseeable future I have no doubt there will be a crazy **** long line of people all waiting for ceremony rescheduling so we shall see how long it takes to get the oath completed.
But regardless the system works if you out the dominos in the right order, I saw a loophole with my company to get the initial visa and I knew that L visas had an immediate ability to let you apply for the GC which was the ultimate goal as then its a time game to convert to naturalization.
This has been a helpful forum and stops you getting in your own head too much by reading everyone else's experiences - good luck.
