Interview:
My interview officer was very cordial and friendly. But, he was very serious all along which I think is good. When he called my name, he and I greeted each other, I tried to shake hand but he does not want to do so. He directed me to his office. He told me to stand up and raised my hand take oath:
IO: “” take the oath that whatever I say is truth. I said, “I do”. He asked me to take a seat.
He asked me very politely to look at my passport, GC and Driving license as he opened my file that was on his desk.
He started reviewing my application line by line and asking me questions as he went through it. He confirmed my name and address.
He asked me what was my status prior to Green Card. I said "H1B". He asked "What was the company name that sponsored your Green Card?"
Honestly, I forgot the answer for few seconds and answered after that. He was a little bit surprised. But he moved on. It was my nervous reaction.
He also asked all the questions from N400 (Section B,C,D,E,F and H) and answered all questions. He did not ask any other documents,

If I do no get by this time, he told me to contact the local office. He also told me not to try take oath on my wife's date if I do not get it same date. Some people does it and it makes really not manageable." I said "I won't do that". He told me if my oath date different than my wife's date. let the local office know so that they may try to make it same day. Then, he said "Thanks for the interview, Sir." I said "You are welcome. Have a nice day!". He walked with me to show the door to way out. The total interview was almost 15 minutes. That's all. Overall experience was great!
