Hi,
My wife finished her interview at Buffalo, NY successfully. Interview appointment was 1:40pm. We reached promptly 5 min before the time. It was 1:40pm by the time security check was completed and entered the room (waiting). We put the appointment letter in the tray. There were around 10 people. She was called for interview at 2:00pm.
My wife had a trip more than six months and less than 12 months. Couple of traffic tickets - both for speeding five to 15 mph more than speed limit. We have paid the fine. We had taken transcripts from IRS. We had chosen not to put any traffic ticket details in the application. Also, in the trips section with dates, we had put trips only in the past five years. She had a weeklong trip to Europe before 5 years, but, after becoming lawful permanent resident. She had practiced the questions for only two hours on previous day, and 15 minutes in the car while driving to district office.
The interview was recorded in a video tape. In the interview, after oath, he made her read a sentence, and write a sentence. Then she was asked 10 questions. She missed one question about term of House of Representatives, she said six years instead of two years.
He never bothered about traffic tickets. When mentioned about Europe trip, he said that they care only about trips in past five years. My wife tried to give the dates, so that he could update her application, but, he again said it is not necessary. He never bothered to check IRS transcripts. But, he did ask questions about the trip which was longer than six months. He confirmed that I was still working in US, having a residence, and looked at copy of tax return submitted with application. Regarding oath date he said there is one in June, and she would receive her oath letter soon. He gave her a letter saying 'Congratulations....'
Officer was very nice, polite, and professional.
For those looking for dates,
Priority Date - Oct 2003
Interview - Apr 2004
Good luck to everybody.
