My wife and I had interview today and were approved. It was a pleasant experience.
Were late for 1:00 PM by 10 minutes as missed the building and then were hunting for parking. I got called in within 5 minutes of arriving. My wife was called after I came out. My wife found out that there were people waiting since 3 hours. There was also a case where a wife had her Interview and husband had been waiting for an hour. We were out by 2:00 PM.
Had usual stuff. Civics test, writing test, reading test. Verification of N400 form.
My IO asked for marriage certificate but wife’s IO did not. We had applied under 5 year rule and not under 3 year (marriage to US citizen) so was bit surprised at the request. Thanks to the tips given on following link (“N-400 What documents for Interview”) posted on this board, I had taken it. What is more I had not been able to locate it first and spend 2 hours hunting for it. Glad my effort paid off as IO said without this it would have complicated things for me.
None of my friends, in situation similar to mine has ever been asked for Marriage Certificate. It is better to be over prepared than under
.
IO gave me option to go for oath today but did not take this option as am traveling overseas shortly. Was told that Oath appointment will come in mail. No date was give except that it will not be before I get back.
