Just wanted to share my interview/oath experience at Charlotte. I received my interview notification around the last week of May for July 12th 2004. I took 3 years of tax returns, our birth certificates, passports, GC, etc. My wife was scheduled at 10:10am and to my surprise, an officer called her exactly at 10:10. He just verified her N-400 application, looked at her GC, passport, asked her 6 questions (out of the standard 100), and thats it. I was called in at 10:30 (right on target) and he verified my N-400 information. I have many speeding tickets over the past few years but did not check the box on citations in N-400. When I told him that I have a few speeding tickets, he asked me if I was arrested on any of those incidents, or if it was a DUI charge. I said no and he continued with the other questions. My birth certificate had my name with initials and when I came to US, I moved those initials to my middle name. He wanted some clarifications on that, and asked me 6 questions. All this took about 10- 15 minutes, and he asked if I will be able to attend the oath ceremony on the 15th of July. They did not look at any other documents other than the passport and GC.
We went to the oath ceremony on the 15th where the officer gave a speech on the citizenship and showed a video of Bush welcoming new citizens. Around 100 folks took the oath that day. The officer took away our GC and gave the naturalization certificate. All this took close to 2 hours.
Well, we applied for our US passports and received it this week. Now got to figure out whaz happening on the dual citizenship front with India, or, get a India visa.
