Hi,
My citizenship interview was scheduled for 1.30 pm yesterday. I was called in at 1.45 pm by IO Peter Van Buren. He was very polite and nice. He swore me in right away and asked for my Passport, GC and Minnesota ID.He went through various sections of my citizenship application. Since I was outside the country after I filed my application I added the days I was gone to Page 4 of the application. He made the changes and moved on interviewing megoing through each of the other sections. He did not ask me anything about selective service and computed my age himself at the time I became LPR and dertermined that I was ineligible for Selevctive Service.After going through my application he told me there were 7 changes to my original application and asked me to sign sections 13 and 14 of the original application. after doing this he said that the major part of my exam was complete. He then asked me to write and read a sentence in English which I did sucessfully. then he went to History and Civics section. He said said he was asking 10 Questions and I had to get 6 right. I answered the first 6 questions accurately and that cocluded my interview. He told me I passed the interview and Gave form N-652. he mentioned that oath ceremony could happen anytime between 4 to 6 weeks and USCIS will schedule my oath ceremony. All questions were asked from the 96 questions from the USCIS guide. Hope this is helpful. Good Luck to all of you whoare getting ready to apply for N-400 or in the processafter applying.
