Interview passed
Hi everyone-
just thought I'd update with my interview experience at Federal Plaza NYC.
My appointment was for 10:00am however we arrived at 10:30. waited fro 2 hours until 12:30 they called my name and the interviewer told me that he was going to lunch to come back in an hour. We went to get lunch ourselves then promptly at 1:30 my name was called. on the way to his office, he asked about lunch and what I had and it was a very pleasant conversation. He asked me to swear to tell the truth then proceeded to explain that since I am applying based on marriage and I did not bring my husband's naturalization certificate that I may need to come back with more evidence. Then he asked me to say "Who elects congress?", and write the answer on a separate sheet saying "The people elect congress" (that was the english test). Then he asked me the following:
1) what is an amendment?
2) who vetoes bills?
3) what is the supreme law of the land?
4) who did we fight in world war 2?
5) who was the second president on the US?
I did not know all the answers but he was ok with that, then said I passed 100%. We then basically had a conversation about the movies, living in NYC and so on while he looked through my application. Told me that I had enough evidence and that I will get the oath letter in 4 to 6 weeks. He walked me out and said it's rare that his interviews are that easy and straightforward.

Interview Done - Got Oath letter the same day for June 22
Folks,
Me and my wife had our interviews yesterday - Both Approved
IO mentioned that he is very happy since it is a straightforward case. The only thing he asked was the certified copies for the traffic tickets, that I had mentioned in my app. IO was super friendly, chatting a lot about his personal life and my actual interview lasted just 10 mins, just rolled thru. IO gave me 2 options to pick from for the oath - either June 22nd or July 4th and I chose the former. We were asked to wait, and in about 30 mins, we got our Oath letter for this Friday, June 22. Almost Done! I'll update after the oath.

"5) who was the second president on the US?"
Are you sure they asked you this question. I haven't seen this in 100 questions. May be it is who was first president or who is our current president. IF they have asked you who is second president..did you answer it correctly?

The question may not be second president. It could be the vice president or the IO might have asked to read who is the second president of US?

Interview
It was more of a conversation than an interview. I should have mentioned that question he asked because after the first 3 or 4 from the book, he said that was it, that I passed, then we spoke about some other political topics and he just asked that one for fun to see if i knew the answer. So it wasn't a big deal.

I do not think there is lot of rush for N400 in Columbus. I had problems getting fp notice, you can take an Infopass apt if there are any issues.
Oath Done.
Folks,
Me and my wife had our oath yesterday and with that, our immigration journey has come to an end. Although it was a little emotional to renounce the citizenship of your country of birth, I'm very happy to feel, that I belong here and that, I do have a say in the policies that shape this great country, where I have lived the better part of my adult life.
I'm very thankful to Mr.Khanna and all of you here in this forum where I get answers and inputs and solace for any queries that I post. I want to mention a special thanks to Jackolantern, nwctzn, baikal3, osheth and others for their insights. I'll try to hang around in this forum and help other folks. All the best to each one of you !!
"God Bless the USA!!"
Thanks Again,

Thanks!!
madgu-gc2005,
Thanks!! Yes I got a new Drivers.License(new plastic) then and there with the same expiration date etc ., as the old one, the only difference being, now there is a new line in the card that says "Replacement Card Issued" with the date. As you may know, they looked at the original Naturalization Certificate, scanned it and then gave it back to me.
All the best for yr interview!
