Interview Experience

Just back from my interview (San Jose, CA)
My appointment was 1:45 and I arrived at 1:20, passed the security check (just like those in airport), went up to 2nd floor, dropped off my appointment letter in the tiny tray under the counter window, then joined others (around 8-9 ppl) in the waiting room. I was called in at around 1:35. The officer asked for my passport and GC, then asked me to swore I told the truth and sat down. He went through the yes/no question, verified my name, address, DOB, then let me signed a sheet, and also signed the last page of my N400. Then he asked about my family, my work and my life in US. Then, we have a little problem on my nationality. I wrote that I am a chinese but I am holding a british passport, so he was kinda confused and he called his chinese colleague and fixed the problem, he then changed my nationality to Hong Kong.
Afterward, was the english test, he asked me to read and write a sentence, then went to the history part, the questions are:
When was the declaration of independence adopted
name one of the two longest rivers in the us
what is the name of the speaker of the house of representatives now
who lived in america before the europeans arrived
what do we call the first ten amendments to the constitution
we elect a president for how many years
I answered all correctly and he stopped, then he checked the application again, I gave him my tax transcript, and he gave me a N-652 with approval and told me to wait for the OL.
when I left the building it was 2:00.

HaHa, I dreamed that I will have a oath ceremony today :p
 
Congrats Micmic.

I got the famous Yellow Letter today. Just ask to bring Driver's License.

I was not expecting a Yellow Letter since I already got the Interview Letter. I was surprised to see it today in my mail.
 
Congrats micmic!

Question: "I answered all correctly and he stopped, then he checked the application again, I gave him my tax transcript, and he gave me a N-652 with approval and told me to wait for the OL. when I left the building it was 2:00."

What was the reason you had to show tax transcript? Did they ask you to bring this document? These days, we file taxes on line, so I am sure you have to request IRS to provide this document. Please share your thougts.

Thanks.

Yeah, when I submitted my N400, I just gave my W2 copy. After my application was sent, I felt that maybe a problem and I ordered my tax transcript from IRS (took about 1 month to send to me). The IO did ask any evidence that I lived with my wife such as bill, montage, tax return, etc, then I just gave him the tax transcript.

micmic, Did you apply based on 3 yr marriage to a citizen or 5-yr...
 
Finger print done today.

I did my finger print in Detorit today on the scheduled date. USCIS was turning away people who showed up before due date.

Thanks.

West, did you get any LUD before you got your yellow letter or interview letter?? I still am in the RFE crap!

Yeah I actually got a LUD 3 days before I received the letter. I received the letter almost a month after i got my finger prints taken so you'll probably get yours in a week or so.
