Completed the Interview today. I guess in Seattle, the oaths are weekly and only on Mondays at 2.00pm. There was a huge line even at 1.30 pm to get in. Got a bit confusing because there was the folks that were taking oaths today and those who were waiting for other things ( FP, interview etc.). But one of the security guards later separated the lines and let few of us inside the main check-in desk.
By the time I was called for my 2.00pm interview, it was 25 mins past 2 pm. Distracted me ( Because there was just way too many traffic today(?) and babies crying, people smiling etc.) didnt realize that my name was called. Once I was inside the office, the interview didnt last more than 5 minutes. I timed it. I was out by 2.33 pm. And that too because the IO was telling me that Seattle Office does not do name change. I can do it but my oath wll be next year 4th of July!! So, she asked me to go to the court and change my name. Works for me except I have to pay 140 dollars for that one. The oath is automatically next week. So I will be back in that office again on the 27th pm. All that she did was asked for my green card and drivers license. She asked me some of the questions from the application ( married once? Job change? Lived where? etc.). The 6 questions were ( Senators represents whom? What happened 9/11? Abraham Lincoln was? American Citizens can do? 13 stripes represents? WWII question). Asked me to write a basic sentence and read one too.
Interestingly, she said that my name would be whatever I had in my birth certificate during the green card application not what I have on the card now. She asked me about my wife's application and apologized for the delay. My wife is due ( for interview that is) on the 4th of August.
To be honest, it was a dull interview!! why cant I do it with Live Meeting???
