Dear all,
I feel it is my responsibility to share my experience since I learned very much from this forum. If you are reading my response for experience purpose please post your response after you attend your interview since this may turn out to be useful to other candidates. Sorry this is a lengthy one and I am sure you will enjoy reading it.
While sitting in the waiting room, I was observing how other people were coming out from the interview panel, some were smiling, some were disappointed. Some were Mexican that may be requiring translators.
I was hoping my officer to be very friendly but did not care much since my interview time had come. My officer was really very friendly. He asked me to raise my right hand before sitting on the chair. I placed my jacket on the adjacent chair besides my chair. I said I do, I was then asked to take a sit. I was asked how I was doing and first question was who sponsered my VISA, green card. Why did I leave my previous employer, whether I liked my current job, if yes why. I was asked did I paid or received money while paying taxes. This may to find out whether I paid my taxes. He asked me did I liked snow, or hated snow or wanted to stay in warm weather.
He then went over my N-400 form I had submitted to make sure nothing got changed. I had taken my copy of my N-400 form where I wrote by pencil all that had changed such as my change of address, travel outside USA from-to dates wherever applicable since my N-400 form submission. This made us (me and the officer) very easy to make changes quickly in my N-400 form and move forward. I was also asked whether I filled out AR11 form for change of address. I had called that 800 number, mailed them AR11 form as well updated the address from the web, Its not necessary to do all, but I just did it to make sure my change of address gets updated.
He then asked me few Yes-No types questions from N-400 form. Advice: Please read and go through your filled copy of N-400 form before appearing for the interview. Some of us will not care to read our N-400 form since we feel we are over confident [especially guys].
I was asked ten questions:
[1] What is the White house?
[2] Color of Stripes ?
[3] Name all 13 states (This was last question). While I was answering he was tick marking states that I was saying to make sure I answered all 13 states.
[4] Who said, "Give me liberty or give me death."?
[5] What is a minimum voting age in the United States?
[6] How many times may a Congressman be re-elected?
[7] What country did we fight during the Revolutionary War?
Other 3 questions I don't remember but I was told I answered all ten questions correct.
He then handed me a paper that had my registration number and asked me to sign and write a sentence at the end.
Finally he handed me a paper where he crossed the first item that I have passed in the interview and said I will be receiving letter to appear for oath ceremony within 90 days.
Good luck to all and thanks for sharing your experiences.
There is no need to ask where this interview was conducted, since it all depends on our luck.
