I\'d like to share my experience with you guys, I know how valuable it can be.
I applied for naturalization on July 5th 2001, in California. Got the receipt notice after about one month, and got fingerprinted in October. Shortly after the fingerprinting I received the interview appointment notice for February 25, 2002.
So I had the interview today. I was very tense, everyone in the waiting room was. The interview is very basic, the officer goes over the application, asks questions to make sure you answered the questions correctly. Then you get about 8 civics questions on a piece of paper, that you answer in writing. The questions are very easy, from the 100 set available in the Internet (INS site). You also have to write a sentence in English dictated by the officer.
That\'s basically it, not a big deal and no reasons to be tense at all. At the end I got some forms that tell me I got pre-approved, and I waited another half hour for the final approval and oath ceremony appointment on 3-5-2002.
So, this is my experience, and from what I saw there, other people\'s too. Don\'t worry when you go there, just have proper documentation that you might be asked for (like a divorce decree if yoo are divorced, etc) and answer the questions like in the application.
