Oath ceremony letter - What the heck is "final interview" ?????
- Thread starter gfindia
- Start date
In a way it is a final interview before the oath. Since you do go over your answers etc, there have been cases were people have been pulled from the oath ceremony because of issues. Some were due to time abroad between the first interview and the oath (ones that were on the border to begin with) or felonies etc that were aquired after the first interview etc.
Remember you still need to be held up to the same exact standards after your initial interview until you become a USC. This includes all time before you are actually sworn in. The final interview, though usually very quick and fast, can flag some people who may not qualify now because of something that occured after their initial interview.
Lady I talked to for my oath, she had gone to her friends ceremony the month before and said they actually pulled out about 4-5 people that were going for their oath. Didn't see any happen at mine though...
