Well my journey of obtaining my citizenship is over!! My oath date 7/16 at 9am, I got there at 7:30a and walked in around 8am. I made my way throught security and was told to wait in the waiting room because I was too early, at 8:30A myself and others waiting were sent to the 4th floor, there IO officers began the process of collecting oath letters and GC's, around 9:45A the ceremony started with the National Anthem, then the swearing in, then the closing out by 10:30A. Ceremony took 15 mins tops, it was the closing of a chapter in my life and the begining as an american, shortly after the oath I made my way to the passport agency and filed for my passport and told to come back at 3P to pick it up, I had made an appointment for 12:30p initially but to my surprise along the my naturalization cert there was also a letter stating that as a new citizen I can go to the passport agency without an appointment, you have 30 days from the date of the ceremony. All in all the whole process went smooth, Good Luck to all of you..

congrats.. Does the status change online after the oath letter is mailed? Or it pretty much remains at the "interview scheduled" status forever, for ever ever and ever ever... :)
 
Interview Experience at Mount Laurel DO

My wife and I had our citizenship interview today. Walked in at 8 am for an 8:40 interview. I was called first at around 8:45. The officer was cordial and professional. He went over the application, asked for my drivers license, green card and passport. Asked for my SSN card which I didnt have. He was ok with that. One thing to keep in mind is to listen and respond correctly to the questions, cause they do try to lead you with their questioning. eg: He asked "So you came to US for the first time in so and so year", but I had come before that. So I corrected him and told him the correct year.
He kept doing that throughout the interview. I remember he started with"So were you ever arrested (no), cited (no) , had speeding tickets .. " and he kept going on. I stopped him and said, I had a few speeding tickets ..to which he responded with a smile " I know". I told him I had my driving history from DMV but he didnt want it. Things like that. But all in all, nothing out of the ordinary. After that, he proceeded with 6 questions.


He then proceeded with a simple read and write question. Mount Laurel has same day oath which he asked if I wanted to do ( of course !! :) ) .. so I need to head back in a bit.

I was done in 10 minutes. My wife got called (different officer) once I was done. Her interview was a breeze. No leading questions. So I suppose it depends on the officer. Or maybe since I was the principal applicant (employment based) I had a lot more questioning on the application front.

I wish all of you nothing but the best. This forum has been very informative and supportive. Good luck to everybody.

Hey Ajibra, Thanks, the status online still shows interview scheduled still as of today. So I guess thats a yes to your question. Good Luck to you.
 
We have oath scheduled in San Jose (Campbell)on July 29th. My wife is scheduled at 10:00AM and mine at 1:00PM.

Wishing you the best.
