Salt Lake Interview Experience

My appointment was 8:10am today. I got there 30 min before and I was called in shortly after the appointment time. The officer was very personable, polite, and curteous. The first thing we did after swearing in was the tests. The following Qs were asked:

Where is the White House located?
Name two senator in your state.
In what month is the new President inaugurated?
What is the legislative branch of our government?
What are the 2 major political parties in the U.S. today?
Who is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court?

Then I was asked to write down a sentence: He has a very large dog, and to read out loud a sentence from the sheet: What is the supreme court law of the United States?

After the tests, we went through my N-400. There were various changes as I got married after I submitted the form. Even so, the whole thing was quick and sweet - maybe 20 minutes or so. Then she told me that she would recommend my application to be approved. But there have been so many people going through the process and I can expect 4 months or so wait till the ceremony. Even though they have 2 ceremonies a month in the SL area, there are a limited number of people they could process per ceremony. Oh well, I got this far without much delay. I can wait another 4 months. I still will be able to vote this year, hopefully.

In any case, I feel much relieved that the interview went well. I haven't posted much in the forum but I regularly read the posts and found them very helpful. Thank you. All the best for all of you.

Was your 2nd FP because the 1st FP quality was not good? Did you get a fresh FP notice from USCIS after your 1st FP was done?

Thanks.

Yes, the quality of my fingerprints were miserable the first time. The ASC officer who did my fingerprints told me that most likely I would need to do this again. I got the notice for the 2nd FP about 10 days after the first FP. In a meanwhile, I faithfully used Corn Huskers Lotion (FBI recommended) and the FP quality improved dramatically! Hope this information helps.

Thanks for your immediate response. Just curious, who recommended the lotion? Was it the ASC officer?

Congratulations on your successful interview and all the best for your oath letter and ceremony!

Thanks for your kind words, Atanase & Samosa1. As for the lotion, I think I learned about it in this forum somewhere. I might have also read it somewhere online that FBI recommends it to improve the quality of FP. Good luck!
 
Congratulations UtahBoo. We're thinking maybe we should move to Utah.
