I had my interview today at 26 Federal Plaza.
Appointment at 7:00 AM, arrived at 6:45 Am, had to get line. They start checking at 7:00 Am, after 15 minutes checking I came to 7th floor to submit my appointment letter at 7:15 Am.
My name was called at 8:00 Am. My interviewer was in bad mood, I think so. He is Hispanic and has accent (like most immigrants and me) but he speaks so fast and sometimes in incorrect grammar and incomplete sentences. Sometimes I did not understand and had to ask him to repeat. He asked me 6 questions about US history and Government and I answered correctly all of them so he stopped .
The he asked me to read a simple sentence and I did well.
When he asked me to write a sentence, I did exactly as what I heard but he did not agree (he said "Independence Day in July", there no "IS" in his sentence but he said I wrote incomplete sentence because it should be "Independence Day is in July", so I missed the first writing. He read a 2nd sentence in the same way before, so I asked him to repeat it and I did perfectly. He was annoyed when I asked him to repeat his sentence.
Then he asked me every question in my N400 form and I did well. Then he asked me " do you have the list of utility?". I said "what do you mean by the list of utility?, he said that gas, electricity. I was surprised but kept silent.
Finally I passed the interview test but "A decision cannot yet be made about your application". I asked him " what is the pending issue, Sir" he said "computer problem" and said I can go home now.
I have been living in English Speaking country for more than 5 years, TOEFL 600 six years ago, IELTS 7.0 six years ago (before going abroad), studying and working in the US, got master degree here, and underwent a lot of professional job interviews and now working in NYC but I never ask the interviewer for repeating many questions as this time. I have accent and so does he, but the way he speaks is very hard to understand. Another thing is that this guy is not professional at all (He did not introduce himself, got annoyed when I asked him, did not pay attention to my concern).
Anyway I will wait for N-14 or any letter from USCIS. If my case is not approved I will file a complaint.
ANYONE HAS IDEA ABOUT "COMPUTER PROBLEM"? IS THIS FBI CLEARANCE PROBLEM?
My N652 he checked 3 parts: "A decision cannot yet be made about your application", Please follow the instructions on form N-14, USCIS will send you a written decision about you application. He did not check that I passed the tests of English and US history and government.
