My Interview appointment was scheduled for 9.15 am, 26 Federal Plaza NYC. I arrived at 8.30 am, was directed to the 7th floor. Took a seat at 8.35 am, my name was called at 8.45 am. Interview over & passed by 9.15 am. I raised my hand swore to tell the truth etc.
Personal Questions:
Had I been out of the country, for more than 6 months.
Had I taken or sold drugs?
Had I been involved in prostitution?
Had I been a Member of Communist party or Nazi Party?
I was then asked each of the questions, I had answered on the N400. He asked me some questions about my children & my work. He also asked me if I was still married, even though I did not apply on the basis of marriage. I gave him 5 years Tax transcripts, 2 copies of paid minor traffic tickets (In 16 years, he made a polite comment), Green Card & Driving License. He visually looked at my Old & New Passports. I wrote one short sentence (The interviewer began the sentence & asked me to write & finish it) I read a short paragraph & was verbally asked 11 questions from the 100 practice test (19, 26, 29, 42, 47, 70, 73, 77, 80, 92, 97). The interviewer asked if I would like to wait for my Oath letter, I said yes & was told to take a seat outside.
9.30 am, my name was called & I was handed a "Oath Ceremony Letter" for 9/22/2005 @ York College Jamaica Queens.
The Oath Ceremony, was very unimpressive, "No bells & whistles. No wine, no coffee, no cake". We did not even go on the stage to be handed the Certificate. Several officers stood at the front of each section & called out the names, it was a bit chaotic.
Ps. The Interviewer, said he was “Very Impressed, I had all my docs & copies in a neat pile.” I used colored sheets to separate, the docs. I think, this got me in & out pretty sharply. Good Luck to all.
