Got my interview/ Oath done yesterday (11/16).
Appointment was at 08:15am. Reached there at 07:35am. went thru the security, got directed to 2nd floor. Checked in at 7:43am. Got called in at 08:20am, I was then asked for my GC and Drivers license.
Initially, I was asked to raise my hand and swear that I would only speak the truth.
She suddenly started asking me the following civic questions:
1. Who wrote declaration of independence
2. Who is commander of armed forces.
3. Name one state that borders Mexico.
4. What is the policitical party of the current President
5. Name two main political parties
6. Name 3 states of the 13 original colonies.
That's all, she stopped as I answered all questions correctly.
She then asked me to read a sentence "Where does the congress meet"
and made me write "The congress meet in Washington".
She spent most of the time going thru the papers. Asked me to confirm my travel and other entries on the form. Asked my passport, she verified the latest exit/entry stamps on my passport. Last time I travelled out of US was in year 2008.
I had three traffic violations but I haven't mentioned about Traffic violations on the N-400 application form.
I had proof of payment for all these three violations, but didn't have disposition letters. I tried to obtain from the court but I couldn't get the disposition letters.
My latest speeding ticked was in year 2004 in CO, after going thro this forum to be on the safer side I called the court and request for a disposition letter. He haven't understood what I was asking, he mentioned that he can send me a receipt for the amount I have paid. He sent that letter in mail on my request.
For the other two tickets in CA, the court mentioned that they do have my info in their system. I didn't try for the disposition letters after that.
At point # 21. She asked me, Have you been in Jail or prison? I answered No.
I mentioned about my traffic violations to her. She asked how much fine did you pay to the court?
All three were $200 or less, I had my file with copies of tickets/receipts in my bag, when I was about to pull my file from the bag to keep it ready, she noticed and told, "don't worry about it." Believe me I got totally relaxed.
She had gone thro the remaining portion of my application. Asked me to sign on my photos and couple of signatures on the forms.
Asked if I wanted to oath same day?... YES!!!
Gave me a letter that my case is approved and will be reviewed by another officer. She kept the green card. Was out at 8:30am. Overall process took 10mins.
Asked me to wait at 2nd floor. After 30 mins, I was given the letter for 2pm oath.
We had to initially check in, to verify our certificate to ensure that name, DOB were correct.
Then the oath. pictures..
At 3:15pm, walked out as new citizen!!!
Thanks a lot for all the help from this forum. All the Best for everyone of you.
