Hello Folks.
We just came back from our interview in Mt Laurel NJ DO. Wife is completely done..her oath at 3PM. She said very simple process as everybody saying here and also her case very st.forward..not even a single ticket/dmv fine in last 8 years of here driving history. Officer has been very nice to her..6 q's were right and he stopped. One funny thing my wife shared was...He asked why she wanted to be a citizen..and my wife said she could apply for fed jobs.
Right away, the officer laughed and said...you don't want to be like us
He also said abt how fast her time line was and commented that even they do the things fast..they still won't get a raise
well I have no comments and leave it to every one here.
About my interview...
The lady knew even before I went in, I will be not able to do the oath today. But she said we will finish the interview. The problem is with "How the name was in my passport" in comparision to all other doc's like GC, BC, etc etc.
She said all the way some how my name is being different from the Indian PP and it needs to be fixed at this point or her job will be in trouble..!!
I am using the name as in my GC and all my other docs like BC, SSN, DL reflect the same. I was thinking I was fine..well not really !!
She did some paper work for the name change and finished my interview and said they will do a background check again with the name on the pp since what they did was based on the N400 appl name.
One other thing...
Regarding the "citation". Yes I did say that I got copule of tkts in the past and paid the fines..blah..blah..
She striked yes for the question on N400 and wrote details of the tickets like year, place and type of the tkt underneath. I didn't had absolutely no proof of paying those tkts and she didn't ask me any thing except that she updated the appl and took some addl signatures.
I realized I forgot to mention one addl ticket I had back in 2005 for cellphone and no belt. Not sure if that is ok !!
Other wise everything was fine. Went in around 8:45 and out by 9:45.
Now I suppose I am back to scratch with the name check thing. Did any body had a similar experience can please share their timeline etc.
Thanks to every one who have been supporting and providing valuable advice in this forums. I will still be lurking here for any q's.
Thanks again.
