On Friday - 10/26/2012 me and my wife had our citizenship interview. Mine was work related GC and my wife - dependent. Both of us were approved and we got the Oath Letter right after the interview - it was scheduled for Monday - 10/29/2012.
Unfortunately, because of Hurricane Sandy all the district courts in our state were closed and no oath ceremony -
1. USCIS (mail or phone or infopass appointment or walk-in) or
2. the district court (mail or phone).
Please advice.
=======================================================================================
BTW, here are the series of events for those interested:
The officer took me inside the room asked me to stand and swear that I will tell the truth.
After I was sworn in, he went over application and reviewed pretty much entire application.
The IO was very friendly and the interaction was very smooth.
He asked me for my marriage certificate.
He asked me about my work and responsibilities of the job I do. Since I have been working for the same company all along and working for the same company that did my GC.
IO asked about my travel - I did after the n-400 application. Told about the travel that it was work related, he wrote on the application.
He asked me about question 16. Have you ever been arrested, cited or detained by any law enforcement officer for any reason?
I had check NO on my application. I mentioned about the parking ticket and traffic ticket. He metioned that it means I was cited and marked YES on my application. asked if anything was DUI or alochol related, I said NO. Then he moved on.
After that, he reviewed all the changes he made on the application with me, he went over English test as shown below:
Reading: There were three statements
He asked me to read the first one.
When is Columbus Day?
Writing: There were three lines
He asked me to write on the second line
Washington is the capital.
and Civic test questions
1.How many justices are on the Supreme Court?
2.We elect a U.S. Senator for how many years?
3.What did the Declaration of Independence do?
4.What does the President’s Cabinet do?
5.Name one branch or part of the government
6.If both the President and the Vice President can no longer serve, who becomes President?
since I answered all 6 questions right the IO didn't go further.
Then the receiptionist gave me the oath ceremony letter scheduled for Oct 29th 2012.
