Finally my Interview is done....
I had my interview today (June 4th) at 9:00 am. I reached the Kansas City DO at 8:30 and put my letter in, to get into the queue. Surprisingly i was called within 5 mins after i gave my interview appointment letter. I was in the IO office at 8:35 (25 mins before my scheduled appointment.. nice..). The IO was a caucasian lady. Very nice, very polite and extremely professional. I was asked to swear in before my interview began. After swearing in, she asked me to be seated and asked for my Green Card and Passports. I had 2 passports, one of which was expired and the other was current. She just glanced at the green card. Did some small talk with me about the weather (knowing that the weather was really bad last night) while she got the application documents out of the folder to begin her review. She went thru the whole application with me. Everything was pretty standard. She kept ticking the application as she asked me to verify the answers i had written in the application. Then she asked me to sign the application and write my full name. I asked her how i should sign the application, recursive full name or like i sign on my bank checks, and she said, like u sign on your bank checks (which kinda surprised me cause i have been reading in the forum that you should sign your full name in recursive). I asked her again and she confirmed that i should sign it like a bank check. So i did, then she got my 2 passport size photos out of the packet and asked me to sign them to, again like i sign my bank checks, so i did.
Next she said she is going to ask me the civic test. She said there are 10 questions, and i should get 6 right. As soon as i get 6 right, she said she would stop. Here are the questions she asked.
1. How many stars are there in the US flag
2. Who is the current President of the US
3. Which was the 50th state to be added to the Union
4. Who was Martin Luther King, Jr
5. Who becomes the President if both the President and the Vice President die.
6. What type of government does the US have.
Got all of them correct, then she asked me to read aloud a "I drive a blue car" and had be write "I goto work everyday". After that she said you have passed the civic and English test and said she is going to recommend me for approval and gave me the approval letter. Told me that i should expect to get my Oath letter within 2 to 3 months. I asked her if my oath will be in Missouri or Kansas, since i live on the Kansas side of the state-line, and she told me it will be in Kansas. They usually have it on Fridays, but they have one this Monday, and there are more then 1000 folks scheduled. So she said it might take a little while to get the letter (around 2 to 3 months).
I thanked her and walked out. When i was out of the office i checked my watch and the time was 8:50 am. So i finished the whole thing in 15 mins (and 10 mins before my scheduled interview time)
Question: The IO took my interview letter and did not give it back. Not that i asked for it or anything, when i was back home i was going over all my documents and realized that she did not give me the interview letter back. I got my FP letter back after i had given by FP back in March. So i was wondering if this is correct. Are we suppose to get our Interview Letter back??
Thank you everybody for contributing to this awesome forum...
I'm really surprised how fast I got it, if you think there was also weekend and I got it on Saturday the 7th
