Interview Experience in Detroit
My wife and I interviewed in Detroit this morning. Both of us passed the interview but my wife's application was stuck because of name check.
The interview was pretty simple and quick . I went in and out in 10 minutes. I answerd 9 of the 10 questions correctly. The question that I couldn't answer was "what is the location of the White House". Washington DC is not the right answer as the interviewer was looking for the street address.
I have a couple speeding tickets that I didn't mention when I submitted my N-400. I collected proofs from DMV and court but never had a chance to show them to the interviewer.
During the interview, I was asked if ever got citation for traffic violation. I thought the answer should be yes but before I answered, the interviewer added that he was only interested in DUI so my response to that question was a "no". My wife was interviewed by a different interviwer and her interviewer also specfied her interest was only in DUI pertaining to traffic violation.
From this forum, it seems that oath date is about 3 to 4 weeks after interview. Due to travelling plan, I requested an oath date in August but the only thing the Interviewer could do was adding a 2"x2" note specifiying my intent in the application. I can only pray that the note won't get lost in the process.
Parking is free and abundant in INS Detroit. Don't be fooled by a $5 parking sign opposite INS. On Mt Elliot, just turn right into the INS parking lot.
Finally, traffic is bad I-75 southbound around 13-mile road. I was 30 minutes late although I spared an extra 10 minutes in addition to the travelling time suggested by Yahoo.

Done with the interview Today
Both myself and wife had interview today scheduled for 8:30AM (for both).
Detroit office looks more like a drivers license office, plenty of parking.
As soon as I entered the building at 8AM, an officer with suit approached me and said, I can take care of your appointment. He had a big office. He was very kind and friendly.
First question - Where are you from. He then asked me why do I want to become a US Citizen when all the jobs are going there. I just smiled and gave the usual 3 reasons why I want to become US citizen.
Then he asked to raise my hand and say yes to all truth .... etc
Went through each and every section in the application (asking each question).
Tickets didn't affect the outcome.
Asked me to write a sentence -
THen 10 questions: all from the listed 96 - wrote 100% and said, you must of studied all night.
- What are the two types of political parties in United states today
- How long do we elect House of Reps
- How many amendments to constitutions
- Who is out Vice Prez
- Who is chief of U.S. Army & Navy
- Who is the governor of your state
- Name two senators from your state
- What is the executive branch
- What do the stars on the flag mean
- What is the national anthem
Then he chated for 10 minutes about life - general stuff. nothing related- experience with INS etc. My oath should be within 3-4 weeks in nearby city. Asked me bring passport and Green Card.
Took about 30 minutes and out by 8:30AM which was my appointment time.
However, my wife was called in at 9AM (30 later than appointment time) to a small cube. But she finished by 9:10AM.
10 questions from 96. She had couple!! of speeding tickets but they didn't care.
Good luck! I will update as soon as Oath date is sent

query11 said:dude....
its mr Bush....the commander in chief!!!!!
It is like telling who is my boss?Ans : It is Mr. Bush because he is commander in chief. He is boss of everyone.
I just checked the web and it says that Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army is
General Peter J. Schoomaker.
Bush is commander in chief, no doubt, but he is not the chief of Army.
If you differ please say why.

Where do you sign the Oath letter?
Hello Jha/Thanks2Rajiv,
The Oath for me is in a different location than my home. The Oath letter asks you to specify the Place where you sign it.
Do I sign as the location where I live or the location of the Oath?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards
Nebulous.

What happens after interview and before oath letter is sent out
Looks like Detriot INS is processing oath letter fast once the interview is completed. Do you know what goes on between interview is completed (officer says I am going to recommend your name for approval) and oath letter.
Why some INS centers conduct the oath the same day as interview.

I live in a different city than the location of the oath (Detroit). I put the city where I live, as that is where I signed it. I don't think they care as long as you sign it.nebulous said:
