Hi Friends
I and my wife are proud citizen of US now.
I am putting my Experience, just may be it might benefits some of my friends and folks in this forum
I had interview and 8:40 AM and for wife at 9:00 AM. Reached at around 8:10AM - 8:15 AM. Already 100 ppls before. I guess folks having interview at around 10:00 AM where also there.
1. Submit appointment letter at window 1. The lady is smart and I guess sort the letter according to Appointment time. So Even if you have interview at say 11 AM and go at 8 AM, may be you will not be called till 11:00 - 11:30 AM
So try to reach like 1 hour before, unless you wanna wait in room for 2-3hrs. The lady distribute letter for Different Room (1 ,2 and 3). Each Room has probably around 5-10 IO and 5-10 cubicle for interview.
2. In this case my wife was assigned to different Room than me and was called before me, she was back in 10 mins and I was called immediately in different room. Me to back in 10-15 mins
SO All process was done by 9:45 not bad just 1 1/2 hr
3. As per as interview experience, I am not sure how many had similar experience at Newark, but surprisingly me and wife had similar experience, although IO was different person. Others may probably have same experience
As soon as I was in Interview romm I was asked to swear If i will say truth
Officer opened my file and ask If I had to do any changes in my form, I just told that I had missed mentioning about my Candad trips and handed him new copy of that page.
Asked If I wanna change my name
Asked if how many kids I have ?
Where do I work ?
I was expecting him to go through asking me all Yes/No Question, but he just checked everything with pen on the form and finally asked me If I support US Constitution, I said Yes
4. Got a Set of Printed Paper which had test Questions. Asked 6 and was done.
What did the Declaration of Independence do
Name one branch or part of the government
We elect a U.S. Senator for how many years
If both the President and the Vice President can no longer serve, who becomes President?
What does the President's Cabinet do
When was the Declaration of Independence adopted
And he then asked to read and write a line of about 5-6 words.
And was Done
Intrestingly wife had same exact question. I guess they have 3 - 4 set oif 10 question each.
And in 10 mins I was done, almost feel like it was decided even before that my case is gonna be approved.
The IO was nice, he was not too friendly but not rude too.
My case is 5 years employement based.
I was not asked to show any documents, although I had carried most of them and will recommend to others too.
I had Oath Ceremony at 11:20 AM and done in another 15-20 mins, I had changed my SSN status after GC only.
My feeling is unless you have some DUI, Arrest, Court Case or Immigration isue you are almost approved unless you mess up in 10 questions.
I Thanks Almighty for completing my journey going all the way back from H1 - GC- Citizen
And I wish all my fellow and friends good luck and great wishes in there Citizenship process
