Arrive Early before the ASC office opens as there are many people that have same Appt. time , the line fills in fast.
Bring the following:

3) Be sure your fingers/ hands are not dry or cracked, If you have dry hands put lotion on the nigt before so when you arrive they will take good prints
Our interview was at the Federal Building in Los Angeles at 11am
I got a call from my attorney’s office at 8am saying he was taken ill to the hospital during the night and he can’t make it to the interview. The office said we can go by ourselves or they could postpone the interview.
After speaking with my wife we decided to go by ourselves. Part of me thought, “what a way to start the day” and another part of me was glad because I always thought taking an attorney might show that we had something to hide.
I am always reading comments from other membres on this forum, but today I would like to take opportunity to share my wife's interview experince for citizenship. Below is her N-400 timeline
10/12/05: RD 10/12/05: PD 11/25/05: FP Appointment 02/13/06: Interview notice 04/25/06: Interview Appointment 04/25/06: US citizen since 5:45
Thanks for this great list! I had my interview yesterday and went prepared with everything. My citizenship was based on marriage and these are the documents that the officer looked at / took: Passport, ID and Green card, obviously Selective Service registration Copies of last three years tax returns AND transcripts from IRS (though one or the other would have been fine) Three months of bank statements Three months of mortgage statements
My POE with the AP was actually Newark (there is a Newark-Beijing direct flight which goes over the pole). The officer just had my passport, the two copies of AP I have and also I had filled in the white landing card (the one you normally use for entrance with a visa).
