Well as promised, I'm going to post my n600 experience/interview.

Basically I had an appointment for 10:30 AM today, I got there at 9:45, went through security and was in the waiting room at 10:10. I waited about 30 minutes, my name was called which was proceeded by meeting the immigration officer.

In her cabinet you're first instructed to raise your right hand and swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth. Then a series of unbelievably easy questions follow such as:

-Your name
-Height & Weight
-Your parents' names, dates of birth
-Your street address
-What school you go to
-How many years you've lived in the United States

That's it! You're then given an oath to read (not standing up) and instructed to sign your Certificate of Citizenship (not fully completed).

In 30 minutes you're presented with your finalized Certificate of Citizenship. That's it, you're free to go!
 
Congratulations. Which DO, How long did the process take?

Thanks!!!

I've been lurking or active on this forum for more than a year and this is the first N-600 experience I've seen posted.

Can you answer a few questions?

  • Who answers the questions, the parent or the child?
  • How old is your child?
  • Oath? Who takes the oath? What is the content of the oath? Why is there an oath involved in this - either the child is already a citizen or he/she isn't, it doesn't matter whether they take an oath or not. Or, am I barking up the wrong tree?
  • Can you post your timeline? We submitted our application 11 months ago and I'm getting *very* antsy

Thanks again!!
 
The child answers the questions.

I am 18 ( I am the one who was questioned)

Oath is a paragraph of the text read by the child, I am not sure why but they just make you read it and agree with it.

Submitted November 9th, 2006 received response in Early April, interview May 15th.
 
Thanks - you are in about the same situation as my daughter. She had recently turned 17 when her mother naturalized and we submitted her application. She's now 18.

Were you a minor when the application was submitted (in which case your parents submitted it) or were you already 18 (in which case you would have submitted the application).

Thanks for the information.

It still seems odd to have the child read an "oath". The Child Citizenship Act makes everything "auto-magic" - you meet the requirements (legitimate minor child of a citizen, residing with the citizen and being a permanment resident) and presto, you are a citizen. That's all the State department checks before issuing a passport.

Oh well, trying to understand the USCIS is like my dog trying to understand poetry.
