Manchester NH Citizenship Interview.
Hi All
I just had my interview in Manchester NH.
I live in Methuen Ma, but was sent to Manchester for the interview.
It was the most pleasant experience at an INS / USCIS office in my 16 years here in the US.
My appointment was at 9. I was expecting long lines because that is what I remember from 5 years ago. I got there at 820am expecting a long line, but there was no line. Just few people sitting in the waiting room.
I assumed Cell phones will not be allowed, but that was not the case. People had brought their laptops and were working from the waiting area.
People were using their cell phones. Having coffee.
It was quite Chill Mahool inside.
Even the security guard was pleasant and nice to deal with.
I sat there for 30 minutes, wishing I had not left my blackberry in the car.
Exactly at 903am I was called in by this amazing looking officer.
She was Assistant Adjudicating Officer, but seemed like she came out of a magazine.
She asked about 7 or 8 questions from the usual 100 questions.
Asked me to read "This is blue something"
Asked me to write "I bought a blue car"
Then she just went over the application.
Did not ask for anything else.
I had taken about 4 inches thick pile of documents.
She did not ask for anything.
She did not even ask for new pictures.
Few signatures here and there. That is it.
15 minutes later I was out.
920 I was in the car heading back to work.
Oath Date is 11/3 in Atkinson NH.
Have a good one folks.

) , My wife told me that she got a call from USCIS stating that this notice was sent out by mistake for me and the OATH will be held on 12th as per the old schedule. The officer also asked me to bring along this notice. Only I got the notice and not my wife. Since, USCIS confirmed by phone to ignore/bring along the notice, I will do the same. I am assuming that this will be the case with everyone who got this notice. Please validate/verify it by using the means/methods outlined in this posting by experienced members.
