smdk..
took the evening off... so updating this morning
Went at 1:35 for our 2:20 interview - reached there faster than planned!
The officer called me in at 1:45 - remarked that I was his last interviewee that day and he had been looking forward to seeing me
Administered the oath, looked at my GC, went through the form line by line - at Jet speed... I mean he was cruising through...
Asked me to read a sample, write a sample and without any 'transition' went right into the test questions.
I was cruising through the answers too.. guess his speed rubbed off on me...
As soon as 6 questions were up, he clicked his mouse and printed a form, and said you passed the test, Congratulations.. and showed the box checked on the form (which said congratulations you passed etc..)
He started to wind up when I brought up the issue of a recent traffic ticket..
He asked if it was a minor traffic ticket and said he is not concerned about it...
I asked about same day oath or an earlier date..
He said that they did that only for military personnel... so I'll have to wait for the letter - 4-6 weeks..
I was out at 1:55... my wife asked me if I had to go back in for the interview...
She could not believe it was over! she thought they only checked some documents etc...
So.. it was like wham bam thankyou sir .. for me!
We then waited till 2:20 for her turn...
Her interview officer was a bit relaxed, started with the oath, going over the form, asking about dependents etc...
(slightly informal conversation)
Then the read, write samples.
Then informed her that she was starting the test.. and then did the 6 questions.
Gave her the interview results, congratulated her.
My wife asked about an early oath.. she got the standard answer... and was done.
She came out at 2:35 ish..
We were walking out when I noticed her form didnot have a couple of boxes checked.. so we took it back to the counter.
It was taken in, properly marked and returned...
That was it.. we were out of AJC building at 2:45
Cleveland seems to be fast and efficient... especially if you are their last person for the day.. its gonna be fast!
