Oh, relax my friend. the exam is so easy. I am sure you can pass it without studying. However, i don't want you to be careless about it. Study. read over the 100 questions everyother day. And believe me, by january, you will master it. :)
Good luck to you

what i did was i got the direction from google map and I had a trial run to the local office before my interview.

they have the parking next to the fed building (where you would have your interview there). I believe it is 6 bucks an hr. Also, you have to go around the building in order to get to the parking entry.

since you have an appointment for your n400 interview, you would be getting into the building from the front door. i waited into the back door which it was for the infopass appointment only.

my appt was around 7:xx am. they would not let me get in until 30 mins before my scheduled interview time.

I went up to 2nd floor. I put down the interview letter and be seated. I waited for around 45 mins or so before I was called into the interview.

First thing the interview officer asked me to show my Driver License and Green Card. She made a copy of them.

We walked into her office. I swore before I sat down...

then the rest of the usual stuff... you might have already read them over and over again...

by the way, no camera cell phone in the building at all.

Hi SyedNaqvi,

Nope. I haven't heard anything from them. I am thinking of InfoPass appointment. At this point, I am not going to worry too much, I don't think I can speed it up - it's out of my control. So, I am just going to focus on my life. :)

Guys, please keep updating on anyy development and progress in your cases. Information is critical!!! Good luck to everybody

My interview experience - El Monte, CA (12/16/2005)

Hi all -

This is my interview experience this morning (12/16/2005) at El Monte, CA:

Interview Scheduled Time: 10:00am

Arrived at site around 9:35am. There was a security checkpoint outside the building. I passed thru the checkpoint and went to the interviewee area. Then a security guard asked all the interviewees to show their appointment letter. After looking at them, he pointed us to an elevator that brought us to 2/F.

At 2/F there are already people sitting at the waiting room. It was quiet except for the officers calling names. I was pretty much waiting there.

I was called in around 11:10am by an immigration officer. She led me to her office. Then she asked me to take the oath that I would only tell the truth. I took that and she had me set down.

First she gave me the English test. Read a simple sentence: He cooked last night. Then she asked me to write down a sentence: I went to post office.

Then she handed me the history questions and had me written down the answers. I missed one out of all 10: who is the mayor of the city where I reside (Los Angeles)... :p Still I passed.

Then she went thru my application and confirmed my name change (I requested that). Then she flipped thru my application - my residence, my job, my travel history. However, she did not ask me to show her my passports, tax return, DMV records or anything at all...

Then she asked me those questions like whether I am a member of Nazi Party or a terrorist organization, or have been married more than once at the same time (I have never been married)... :p

Then she asked me to sign at the last section of the application and congratulated me that I have been recommended for approval. Then she handed me the N-652 notice and told me that there will be some oath ceremories sometime next month (January 2006). I will know where and when my ceremory takes place by mail.

I walked out around 11:20am. The interview only took 10+ minutes.

The officer was EXTREMELY nice and to be honest, this is probably the best experience I have with USCIS... :)

Notes:
Never bring your cameraphone. The security is pretty strict about that.

Now I am waiting for the oath mail now...

Please update the forum on the date of your oath!
