Interview Experience
Hello friends,
I had my interview at the Hardford DO at 12.30 PM. I was there in the federal building at 11.30AM and was asked to sit in the lobby. Time went by and finally was called in around 2PM. Am not sure why there were running late.
When the officer called me, she was very courteous and informal. She asked my green card, passport and DL. When I gave her my Florida license, she said she cannot accept it as I don't have an id in CT. But my case was genuine as I was working in CT since dec 05 as a consultant. I showed her all the details and was in an argument trying to convince her for almost 25mins. She was also very patiently listening to me. Then she said she has to talk to her superior. Went in and came out after 10mins and told me that they were gonna transfer my case to FL. I told her I might not be in FL as I might take up the full time opportunity that might come to me soon in CT. So once that happens, the file has to come back to CT. So it doesn't make any sense at all. Then she said she would any how do the interview and see what happens. Started on the application page by page nothing extraordinary. No probs asked specifically questions on arrests and citation. I told her about the 2 traffic tickets and she was least interested. Then same stuff like travel outside US, taxes, company that petitioned etc. After that the history test usual stuff. Answered all the questions correctly. Finally made me to sign the application and finally gave me the very next oath date which is on 20th of Oct(2 weeks) at 10.30AM. I was literally surprised and couldn't beleive my eyes.
Though it was a bit of scary intially, things went well at the end. This was a very good experience to know for people like me in the same boat working as a consultant in different states.
The board have been really helpful and I thank everyone for all their inputs.
Good luck to everyone.
Thanks.
