Off to my interview at 8am today. Wish me luck :D


ETA: Just got back from my interview, it was a breeze. My oath ceremony is next month (Nov.30). I can't believe how quickly this whole process went by. I wish you all the same speed with which mine came together. Good Luck! \(^w^)/

Congrats Trisme11 - great news! Our timelines are virtually identical!

Any unexpected q's in the interview? And what documentation did they ask to see? My interview is tomorrow morning.

Cheers...

Thank you :D

We just went over the application, and if anything came up there were a couple more in depth questions. She asked to see my passport (both old and new) my drivers license, green card, and Social security card (which I didn't have at the time but she said it was alright.)

I made a mistake on my application(registering to vote), so I brought an update of the page and all the explanations to go with it (she seemed to appreciate me making her job easier by bringing the right documents lol)

I even think my interview would have been shorter without my mistake. But all in all pretty straight forward. I was nervous for nothing lol.

Congrats Shazer! How was your interview - pretty straightforward, I'm guessing?! My interview is on Tuesday, 10/25 so I'm just getting all my paperwork organized and ready for it!

Sorry for the late reply, my interview was very straightforward. The only documentation the LO asked for was my marriage certificate which was surprising, because it was no listed as one of the documents I need to bring and I was not applying based on marriage. But I had it with me anyway.
My oath date is on 11/09. Good luck on your interview.

Interview done - passed!

Had an easy breezy interview today :D ... here's a quick recap.

Interview was set @ 9:50am and the place is about 10 mins away so I left the house at 9am - encountered a major traffic jam enroute due to 2 accidents and only got there at 9:35am - a bit of unnecessary tension and I should've left even earlier!

- 9:40am: Dropped my interview letter in the slot and walked to the back of the room to find a seat
- They called me in even before I sat down!
- Officer swore me in and went over the app (reviewed basic questions) - only asked me for Passport, Green Card and Driver's license - did not ask me about any other docs and I had a full file full of docs!
- Took my civics and English test. Here's the q's - got the first six right! :)
1. When was the declaration of independence adopted?
2. Name one of the longest rivers in the US?
3. Who lived in the US before the Europeans arrived?
4. Who is the speaker of the House of representatives?
5. What do we call the first ten amendments?
6. We elect a President for how many years?
- Officer congratulated me and handed me the N-652.
- I was back outside and in the car at 9:52am! :D

All the best!

I took my Oath on 11/9 at the Tampa Convention Center, so it’s official I am a US citizen. There were 360 applicants, but the event was very organized and the process went very smoothly. The only thing crazy was the people trying to apply for passports, there was no way I was getting in those lines LOL.

Time from start to finish was 4 months. I am so happy it’s done.
 
Congratulations
