My interview
Had my interview yesterday. It went very smoothly. The guy who interviewed me was very nice and easy going. I had everything with me, all the copies, organized. As soon as we came in into his office, I laid out my greencard, travel document, driver license and other things in front of him. I got married after applying for citizenship so I mentioned that, showed him marriage certificate (he took a copy of that). I wrote down the trips I made after applying for naturalization, were, date , how long lasted, info about my husband. He was very pleased because it makes his job easier when everything is in front of him and organized.
We went through my application, put down information about my husband. Asked questions if I belong to any party, if I ever declared to be a citizen, etc. - all the questions that you have to answer "no" to at the end of application. Then he asked me gov't/ history questions. computer generates them automatically and you have to have 6 out of 10 correct to pass. I got all of them right. Then he asked to read sentence "the family went to the grocery store" and write "the teacher was proud of her class". He asked if I pay taxes and didn't want to see anything at all. That was it!
Then he gave me a paper saying that I passed and my application has been recommended for approval. He asked if I want to take the Oath at 2pm same day and asked to wait in the room. About 20 mins later, another man came in and called people's names and gave them their Oath appoitment letters for the same day. The ceremony was very nice and touching, there were 58 people of 30 nationalities, was very moving. Went pretty fast, lasted about 1,5hrs. After I went to get my expedided passport done and, hopefully, will have it Friday (tomorrow) morning!
Good luck to all of you! Thanks to everybody for their valuable advises! Will keep you posted on my passport status!
Sincerely,
-Ila
