Interview
Had my interview today. Passed it
Was asked 10 questions. Answered all 10 correctly. The ones I remember are:
1. Who lives in the White House.
2. What are changes to the constitution called.
3. What do the stripes on the flag represent.
4. What is the highest court in the U.S.
5. Who said give me liberty or give me death?
6. What was the holiday celebrated for the first time by American colonies
7. Who makes the Federal laws in the U.S
8. Independence day celebrates independence from whom?
9. The dreaded question: name the 13 original colonies.
10. I dont remember.
Was asked to read the following sentence "I have three children".
Was asked to write the following sentence "I am very happy today".
I was the first one scheduled for interview on that day and the IO was extremely efficient and I was done in under 20 minutes.
I had to sign at 2 locations on the N-400 form I had sent in as well as along the passport photos that I had sent with the form.
I was asked to give recent documents that proved that my wife and I were co-habitating (my app is based on marriage). They also ask if your wife had accompanied you. Mine hadn't, but I think that if your spouse does - then that could be a favorable remark in your application. I gave them a copy of the lease document and some recent insurance papers.
I was impressed at how quickly the IO processed me.
I was told that there is a big oath ceremony in Denver in May. I hope that my application clears it in time - so that I can be sworn in on that day.
