It says the interview and oath take place at the same location. A vast majority of approved applicants are administered the oath the same day so I am hoping I'm in that number! Cheers.
 
Hello all,

I had my citizenship interview yesterday on the 21st, and passed with flying colors! Cramming the more obscure/harder civics interview questions wasn't even needed since all the questions I did get asked were easy ones.

Had to write Abraham Lincoln was the president during the Civil War for my written portion, while having a minor brain panic I had spelled Lincoln wrong. NO recollection on what I had to say though...

The civics questions I got asked were:
when was the dec. of independence written?
the longest river
month we vote for president or # of years in a term, can't remember which it was.
who's the chief speaker of the house

those are all the questions i can remember. My appt was at 1:00, I got there at about 12:30, called in around 1:20, got done w/ the interview by 1:30, waited till 3:20 for the certificate and oath at 4:00.

The supervising officer must give the same speech to everyone. I read a couple of pages back how the SO got everyone to cheer louder by asking if how glad we must be that we never have to deal with USCIS again, he said the same yesterday. There was a perpetually rotating christmas tree decorated in red/white/blue and life-sized paper cutout of Pres. Obama and the first lady Michelle people could get pictures take with in the oath ceremony room. I thought the tree was hilarious.

Now I'm off to work, where one of my coworker 'threatened' she's going to make a CD for me with all kinds of patriotic songs on it. haha

Congrats. Can you please share your interview details with us.
 
I have FP scheduled on 8/23. I am thinking if I should try for early walk-in FP. I read earlier posts where some were succesful and other were not. Could you guys suggest, if walk-in is allowed in general or its possible only in emergency situations where I am not going to be in town on scheduled day? Thanks.
