My scheduled time was 11:30AM and I got in the office at 10:50AM. I even found a parking meter which still have one and half hours left, so I just put another 3 quarters to make it 2 hours. Waited till 11:45 and my name was called. The delay is mostly due to there were more than 10 people waiting for interview. My interview officer was a male officer at his 40's. He led me to his office and immediately asked me to raise my right hand to swear to tell the truth. He checked my DL, green card, and passport and then went straight to the exam first.
Here were the questions I was asked:
1. When was the Declaration of Independence adopted?
2. Name one of the two longest rivers in the United States.
3. What do we cal the first ten amendments to the Constitution?
4. What is the name of the Speaker of the House of Representatives now?
5. We elect a President for how many years?
6. Who lived in America before the Europeans arrived?
Reading: Who is Abraham Lincoln?
Writing: Lincoln was the president during the civil war.
And then he went through my application very quickly: asked me the Yes/No questions. He did stop on my address because my drive license had my previous address and I told him that WI DMV does not require to have new license for address change. He suggested me to get a address sticker which can be put on to the back of the license and I told him that DMV does not offer the sticker any more. He smiled and said: must be the budget problem. I said that I have utility documents for address proof and he said not needed.
He then asked me to sign on the photos and the last page of my application. Also asked me to print my name clearly right above the signature.
He then printed out a sample page which has the information of my name/DOB/A#/gender/birth country and asked me to verify the information. He said these information will be on my naturalization certificate.
Finally, he stamped a big red "Approved" stamp on the first page of my N-400 application and congrated me for the approval. Also got the N-652 interview results saying that I passed the exam and my application has been recommended for approval. He told me that my Oath ceremony will be on January or February and I have to drive to Milwaukee again for it. He then led me to the door and greeted me "Have a nice day!"
The whole process took about 12-15 mins. I'm glad that the officer is nice and professional. Now I can have a good sleep tonight and on the road back I finally turned on my favorite CD instead of the 100 questions CD.
