Hi - I would rather go in business casual like khakis and polo but Business Formal will do just fine too.

Have Fun!!

Interview Update

An update. Passed with interview (@ DC local office in Fairfax) and now the oath is scheduled for coming Saturday morning. :)
Whole interview lasted about 20/25 min. Regular Civic questions followed by verifications regarding if all info is current regarding where you work, live, etc. And what was the last trip out of country. Officer was firm but polite. No chit chats.
Only nerve wrecking part was that I'd mentioned a couple of traffic tickets. One from last year and another from 6 years back. She asked of proof of payment which was the only thing I did not have. :) Funny how that works. But the outcome was good since I offered to and she agreed to let me come back the same day and get the info.

Once I gave the info, she gave me the oath letter. Sigh! Good Luck everyone.

Went to the interview location at 9:00 AM and submit the interview letter there. Then after some times they called me for interview. I went inside with my 2 and half year old daughter and gave interview with my daughter in lap. Officer was very friendly and very fast. He started with civic questions.

What is the name of the national anthem?
Why does the flag have 13 stripes?
What ocean is on the west coast of the United state?
What is the rule of law?
What major event happened on September 11th 2001 in the United State?
How old do the citizens have to be to vote for president?

Then asked me to read this.

How many US senators are there?

And asked me to write "We have 100 senators".

Then went to the forum and asked few yes no questions. Like if you ever deported? I guess there were total 9 questions from the forum the first 4 with answer no and last 5 with answer yes. And this took 5 minutes. He even tried to be friendly with my daughter, but my daughter was not in mode at that time. Then he asked me to wait outside and said that if the we already have enough people on september then you may come in October. I asked the date for October and he replied that oath will happen on September 19th then October 17th.

We waited outside and after approximately half an hour got an oath letter with date September 19th.

Over all very good experience, very friendly andn very fast people. No need to worry at all even if you couldn't find a baby sitter. He didn't asked a single thing about my daughter all at that why did I bring her at first place.

Questions for my wife interviewed at the same time

Where is the statue of liberty?
Who is the governer of your state now?
What is one promise you make when you become a United State citizen?
Name two US holidays?
Who is the father of our country?
What movement tried to end recical descrimination?

We both got oath letter for September 19th 2012.
 
Thanks Jugnu, and wishing you luck in your upcoming interview as well.

Had my interview over two weeks ago at the DO in Memphis and was recommended for approval, i have not received any updates yet about being inline for oat ceremony or scheduled for oat ceremony or oat letter been sent out, and i am just getting so frustrated daily and i just want to be done with this process and move on to greater things, please is their anyone out there that have recently experienced such delays after his or her interview at the DO in Memphis?
 
Honesttt - You will get it soon, for my wife it took about three weeks earlier this year.

Jugnu


Thanks Jugnu, it's just difficult to be patient, but i guess i should, if i could ask you; you said it took three weeks for your wife, so did she get update on her case after three weeks? or was it an oat letter she received after three weeks?

Thanks.
 
how to get an info pass appt

Thanks a lot Jugnu, i would wait a few more days and if nothing happens then i will call the FBI or do an info pass and i saw that you are from Nashville as well.

Both my daughter and I have rec'd interview dates for the end of this month, however , my wife's case has not gone beyond yellow letter( she is about three weeks behind us). I want to make an info pass appt for her, problem is I do not know which line to tick off in the info pass online application.

Please help ,
 
In essence that does not matter but you can Choose "You need information or other services" that will take you all the way to the end and you will have an InfoPass scheduled.
 
My status in the USCIS webpage changed on Sept 12, stating that my interview date has been set. I should receive the letter 'soon'
 
An update. My immigration journey has finally come to an end. I took oath on Saturday and after 15 years in the US of A, I'm finally a citizen! Thanks for all the support folks. It's been rough at times but N400 has been the smoothest of the filings. Good luck all! You're be there soon too.
