Finally a long journey is over.....

Proud U.S Citizens now (my wife and I).

My wife had a simple and easy interview which lasted for 15 min.

I had a long interview which lasted around 30 min, mainly because of my three minor traffic speeding tickets.

Finally, outcome was very positive and we both had our oath ceremony in the afternoon.

My interview Civic/History questions:

1. How many U.S. Senators are there?
2. The House of Representatives has how many voting members?
3. We elect a U.S. Representative for how many years?
4. Who is the Chief Justice of the United States now?
5. When was the Constitution written?
6. Name one war fought by the United States in the 1900s


My IO was an African American, looked very serious until end of my interview but she was very helpful.

I opted out of name change I requested in my N-400. IO was ok with that.

She asked me all basic questions like name, DOB, address etc.
She then asked me about general moral character questions.
She came down to arrest/citation question...... Asked me the nature of tickets (I said they were all speeding). Then she asked me how much over the speed for each ticket. I said I don't remember. Then she asked me if I have supporting documents. Luckily I got certified court dispositions for all the three tickets.

She read all three tickets thorougly, noticed how much over the speed I drove etc. Then finally she wrote something like 'minor infractions' on the form.
Then she moved on to next questions like 'Do I owe tax to IRS/State? She asked me If I had my recent tax returns. I said, Yes, I do, I have all the tax transcripts for last 5 years, She took all of them, went over the 2009 tax returns for few min.

Because of this forum, I took IRS tax transcripts, court certified dispositions etc. I am very grateful to this forum/forum members.

From this point, she became very friendly. Congratualted me and finally gave me the letter for same day oath ceremony.

What a relief !!!!

My wife's interview questions:
1. What is the name of the national anthem?
2. Why does the flag have 13 stripes?
3. What is the “rule of law”?
4. What ocean is on the West Coast of the United States?
5. What major event happened on September 11, 2001, in the United States?
6. We elect a U.S. Senator for how many years?

My wife's interview was straight forward, no extra documents asked.

I must thank this forum, forum moderators, tons of forum members for their awesome contributions, for helping fellow members etc. I have always got answer to my questions in this forum.

Thanks a million to those who helped me during this citizenship journey. I wish everyone good luck.

Congrats for those who became citizens and good luck to those who are waiting....your day is not far.

Thanks IPL-fan. Hope you are done as well. Do share your experience. Did you revert your name change request to go ahead with Oath and take care of name change later through the court yourself?
