We arrived at 8:10 AM for a 8:45 AM interview. My wife was called almost instantly and was done in 15 minutes. I was called in at 9:00 AM and was also done in less than 15 minutes.
My IO was to the point no expression kind. She walked me the room and asked me to raise my right hand and take the oath. Then she asked for Green Card, Driver's License & Passport. She said she wanted to do the History test first. She asked me the following questions:
What are the colors of the flag?
Who is the President today?
Name one right that you have as a US Citizen
Who becomes the President if both President & Vice President Die?
When was the constitution written?
Name the amendments that guarantees a citizen the right to vote?
She stopped there as I answered all the 6 six questions correctly. Then she went through my application form and asked almost all Q & A that were answered there - Yes or No. She then asked me about my last trip outside the US. Then she asked me if I had ever been out of the US for more than 6 months. Then she asked me if I had any citations. I told her yes a speeding ticket and I paid the fine. The last thing she did was to make sign on my pictures and then sign on another document that listed my home address, phone number details etc.
Finally, she gave N-652 form that indicated I have passed the tests and Congratulations.
My wife said her IO was very nice & friendly but she pretty much went through the same steps as my IO. My wife requested that our Oath be done after Jan 7th as we had travel plans. Her IO said sure and also told my wife she will make sure my IO also knows. So when I was done I asked my IO and she said she is aware of the request and that it should be fine.
So that was it then.
My 2 cents: In general the atmosphere was very friendly and cordial. The way people were coming out of interviews made it look things being very easy. I am sure everyone has had their fears and experience but my feeling is if you are "clean" you have absolutely no reason to worry unless you face an disgruntled IO.
Good luck to all who are waiting. I will check the web site regularly and will also update when I get our oath letters.
