Today was my and my wife interview at chicago.

Our time was 10 am but we reached Clark St around 8:45. Park the car nearby garage.$11.

My wife was called in first around 9:55 am. She was back in ~10 min.
she told me that her interviewer was very nice and polite and first went thru 6 questions, write, read a sentence and then went thru the application real fast. she was approved.
I was called in around 10:30, My interview last ~30 min and the interviewer was asking question in great length and detail. First I was asked 6 questions of which 2-3 looks a little bit different.
1) Difference between Lincoln and Martin Luther King.
2) Political benefit of citizenship - Right to vote.
3) One more question whose answer was Abraham Lincoln but was not the one in the list.

I answer all of them correctly.

Then I was asked to provide

1)Birth Certificate
2)SS Letter
3)Social Security Card
4)Court copies of my Speeding Tickets that they are paid off.
5) Green Card
6)Passport to verify all my dates of outside the country.

I provide all of the above documents and then Interviewer went in great detail on each question on my N-400.

After that the interviewer told my that my application will be approved.
He stamp my N-400 infront of me with an Approved stamp. Told me to wait for Oath letter in the mail.

Lesson Learn , take every thing with you, I was lucky that I took Birth Certificate, Speeding tickets records and SS letter.

I learned a lot from this forum and it prepare me well.

Thanks All. :)
 
Congratulations!! Your case is really fast to pass through the citizenship. It is amazingly less than 4 months. Wish everyone the case move as fast as yours. By the way, What is SS Letter?

Thank you for sharing your experiences. It really helps for the others to figure out the picture of the interview.
 
SS is Selective Service Letter. One need to register between the ages 18-27 (think so) with selective services. If you are on F-1 or any non-immigrant visa then you dont need to register but still need to get the letter stating that you dont need to register.

He ask me some type of proof that what those tickets are for and did i pay them off.
He did not ask for the court copies. since I had both the DMV and the court copies I gave him both. He was quite happy when he saw those copies and told me thats a good record keeping and keep those in my file.
 
I dont have court copies and they dont need any documentation for fines less than $500.

But I do have tickets and printouts from the court website that case has been disposed off.
