Atlanta Interview Experience
My interview was scheduled at 9:25 AM. I live less than a mile away from USCIS office so I left home at five past and was there at 9:10. It does take an additional 10-20 minutes based on number of folks at security. SO give yourself and additional 15 minutes and be ready to do a TSA airport routine!
I checked in at 9:24 AM.
I was called in by an efficient, but unsmiling Officer at around 10AM. Administered Oath. and asked me the same set of questions that have been posted within the last 2 days.
Who wrote Declaration of independence?
State bordering Mexico?
Commander of armed forces?
3 of original 13 states?
President's party?
the 2 political parties in US?
He reviewed my file. and went through my responses on my application quickly. He specifically asked me if i had any speeding tickets. I had responded NO to any arrests/citations in my application. But I told him of a remote speeding ticket in another state, my only one, 8 years ago. He asked me if I had paid the fie, and I said yes. He recorded this and moved on.
Verified I had not ever claimed to be a US citizen, voted etc. And then asked me if i would like my oath ceremony today.
I responded in the affirmative. He finally smiled and said congratulations.I was done by 10:20. i had to wait for another 40 minutes to get my oath letter.
Came back after lunch by 1
m. 94 new citizens from 40 nations were sworn in today.
I was sworn in by 2:30pm. By 2:45 I had made a copy of my certificate, and then went home,filled my passport application online. Had it submitted at the local post office today by 3:30pm.
