I had my naturalization interview today. The appointment was scheduled for 1:50 PM. I arrived at 1:30 PM but was not called until 2:45 PM. The waiting room was packed with a very diverse crowd. A middle aged lady called my name. We went into her office and she swore me in. She was very pleasant and put me at ease. She asked me to read 'Which state has most people?' She then asked me to write 'California has most people'. She then asked me the following questions:
1. There are 4 amendments on who can vote. Name one.
2. Why did colonists come to America?
3. Who is the head of the executive branch?
4. If the president cannot serve, who becomes president?
5. What is one right or freedom from the first ammendment?
6. During the cold war what was the main concern for the United States?
The immigration officer reviewed my application line by line. She asked me to print my new name on the 2 passport pictures. She asked me why I did not register for selective service and I explained that I did not know of the requirement. I had written an explanation letter when I mailed in my N400. She asked me what was my status between ages 18 and 26 and I informed her that I was out of status at that time. She asked me what my previous status before that and I informed her I was an F1 student. I was expecting more questioning but thankfully she moved on. She told me everything looked fine and she would get me into the next oath ceremony which happens to be 8/4/10. I was pleasantly surprised as my DO has an average waiting time of between 1 and 2 months for oath ceremony. She asked me to wait in the lounge and 20 minutes later I got an oath letter for 8/4/10. I had brought in a boatload of documents but she only asked to see my marriage certificate. All in all, it was a good inverview and I can't wait to be a USC.
