Just passed the interview
Folks,
I had my interview this morning in Chicago. It was scheduled at 7:45am, I was at the door (539 S LaSalle) at 7:15 but they opened the doors at 7:25. I was the first one to be called in at 7:50. The interview took 10 minutes, I was asked 6 questions from the standard 96 question list. I wrote down a very simple sentence. Interview went smooth. I had indicated on my form that I was cited for two traffic tickets, one speeding, one other moving violation. (I had checked yes on question 16). The officer asked if I had been arrested before and why I answered that question yes. I said that I had never been arrested before and said they were minor traffic violations. She asked if any were DUI and I said no. She did not even ask for the court dispositions but I gave them to her to include with my application, just in case. She said fine. I also gave her the paperwork I got from the Circuit Court showing that I was never arrested before. She took that too. But it looked like she was not even interested in them since none of them were DUI.
Finally she gave me the "Congratulations!" paper and said I will get a letter in the mail for the oath ceremony. She said 30-90 days. I looked up on the upcoming ceremonies, and there are a lot in March, so hopefully it will be soon.
Will let you know once I get the letter. Good luck to all.
