Does anyone interview letter says 2 hours interview??
I recently received my interview letter to be held next month. Does anyone interview letter states in the first paragraph that “The proceeding will take about 2 hours?.” I’m just concerned because I hear people say the interview lasted for 15 minutes. Someone should please advise...Thank you.

Interview experience and timeline
Hello everyone! This is my first time posting here. I hope my post will help some of you to get an idea of the overall n400 interview and application time line.
5 years permanent residence eligibility
PD: 8/15/17
Biometric: 09/4/17
Interview: 04/12/18 (today)
My interview's time was at 8:45. I got there 8:15 and the IO came to get me at 8:50. The whole interview was about 15 minutes long. First part of the interview was to go over the first 2-3 pages of my N400 application (confirming name, DOB, name change request, parents info, and addresses). Then we moved to the civic and English test which was super easy (finished it in less than 5 min). The IO asked 6 civic questions , then have me read out loud a sentence, and to write down a sentence. Then we finished off going over the rest of my N400.
*As I had requested for a name change, the IO asked for 2 passport photos which I didn't have with me at that moment, but he gave me a pass to come back the same day to provide the photos. So if you have requested for a name change, make sure you bring 2 passport photos.
*Result: The officer said I passed the test, and he's approving the application but because I still have to give him the 2 passport photos the interview result as of now is "The decision cannot be made at this time". He marked this on the decision form and show me but reassured that it was just because I need to drop off two photos for the name change.
I came back with the photos 30 minutes later and drop it off at the reception as the receptionist called the IO and he said he will come out and pick it up and that I'm good to go. I wish I could have talk to the IO again when I dropped off the photos to ask about wait time for the oath letter and make sure if everything is approved. The receptionist said I should get a letter within 2 months or earlier.
*Overall the IO was very respectful, and the interview itself was not as difficult and stressful as i thought it would be. I'm happy that the interview is over but still a bit nervous since I didn't exactly get the actual passed form N652. But I'm trusting what the IO has said to me.
** My advice for you all is to be 100% Honest when answering the yes/no question especially the tax question, and #32 - #35. I will update this post again once I receive the letter in the mail.

Received form G-56 after N400 interview! NYC field office
Hi everyone,
Just wondering if any one had similar experience. PD 07/2017, Biometrics 08/2017, Interview date 4/3/2018. I passed the naturalization interview and was given form n652 and was told that my oath letter will be mailed within a month or two. Today, i received a letter from USCIS i thought it was the oath letter! But to my dismay it was a form G-56 asking me to come back to the field office for Review of application and another fingerprinting and photos. Has anybody experience something like this?

Oakland Park Citizenship Experience
Hello Everyone!
Today it was my citizenship interview. Arrived at 10:15pm. Interview was schedule forn10:30am. IO called me around 10:55am. Whole process took almost 1 hr. Went through all my paperwork as I applied naturalization 5yr rule but was previously married to an USC. Officer was nice but very serious. He asked me about why I got divorced, All my previous addresses, Jobs, Full / Last name, current address, etc. About all the regular questions about constitution and oath.
Then he moved on to the Q.
-Ocean located in the east coast?
-Year constitution was written?
-Age you have to have to be for select service?
-What is the freedom of religion?
-How many senators out there?
I can't remember the last question. Then he asked me to write " Washington is on the bill".
Then he congratulated me and told me I should receive a letter within 30 days and I should come well dress for the Oath.
Once the tests were done, He was much nicer and we chatted a bit.
Anyone in this Journey, Just be patient! I was a PR for over 8 years and now I had the opportunity to file and make it happen. Lots of Luck Everyone!!!!
I will post one more experience once I find out about my Oath!

Form N-14 We received your response
Hi all,
I am a little bit confused here. At my interview on March 30 I was asked civil questions etc. and everything went well. I passed the test. Then the interviewer asked if i have any documents for her. I did. I was about to give her a folder and was told that's ok you should mail the documents stated on N-14 and gave me a notice. The thing is I had all the documents but the officer just didn't look at it and I did say that I have it. Next day online case status was updated to We received your response to the request for additional evidence and your case was moved to LIC field office. But I didn't even send any. I called call center and was given three different answers from L2 officers:
1. There is a glitch in the system and in general online system is incorrect, so do not look at it
2. We received it and you are all set
3. We still need documents
I sent all the paperwork 3 days ago, status is the same as before that they received my response. Did anyone have the same experience or have an idea whats going on? Thank you so much

HOUSTON
I've read that they are processing most of January PDs, is it both paper file and online?
coz im quite alarmed for I've read in some comments here that Houston might take 6-9 months to process first quarter fillers for 2017. This is really depressing.
