Hello All,
Following are my Dates:
Application Mailed: Dec 18, 2007
Priority Date: Dec 27, 2007
Finger Printing: Feb 01, 2008
Interview: Oct 23, 2008
Oath: Nov 07, 2008
Total Time Around: 10 to 11 months.
My Interview was scheduled at 8.50 am today and my wife's was at 9.15 am. Reached the location at around 8.35 am. Submitted the forms and were asked to wait for the name to be called.
I was called around 9.25 am..... My case is employment based with 5 years stay in US. No questions asked about my prior employment. Only asked about my current employer. Asked all routine questions which i guess were straight from the application and i had to reply Yes or No depending upon question.
Everything was in place. Only thing asked was Childrens Birth Certificate and Ofcourse Green Card. I was told that i may need to resubmit my photos the size of which should be 2 X 2 inches. The one i submitted were a little smaller in size. But the IO said he will submit the ones given to him but told me to get another for Oath just in case.
He asked me one question which i have no idea what that was then i told him that i have studied New test. Then he asked me to read a line. Write a line. and following 6 Questions (Did not ask all since answer to 6 were correct)
-- What is the Flag called - Star Spangled Banner
-- Eligiblity to vote - 18 or older
-- About Law - Everyone must obey the law
-- What happened on 9/11 - Attack by terrorist
-- Which Ocean is on West Coast - Pacific Ocean
-- Why are there 13 stripes on flag - Representing original 13 colonies
He asked one more question because i think it comes from different category:
-- How many Senators - 100
He handed my test results saying that Application has been Approved. I asked if i could get the Oath done soon so that i can participate in the elections.... He said in some place it is possible bot not here in CT. In CT there need to be special Federal Judge who need to be there at the Oath. Anyway i got the Oath Date for Nov 21.
Then the same person took my wife's interview. He made copies of the Childrens birth certificate as i only had one set of originals. He gave me the copies to give it to my wife. My wife's interview was quicker than mine. She got the Oath date of Nov 7...... Good we checked it then. We requested that IO to change mine so he gave both of us Nov 7.
Great Experience. And i thank God for giving us this wonderful IO. He was very polite.
GoodLuck to All Out there.
