My husband just passed the interview/civic in Houston. I thought I’d share how everything went.
Documents we had which were asked
• Passports
• GC
• Certified Marriage License
(Didn’t think he’d be asked but guess what! he did!!!)
• Driver’s license
Documents we had which weren’t asked
• 6 months pay stubs
• Previous Employment letters
• Selective Service Statement Letter
• Birth Certificate
• EAD cards (only one – he lost the rest)
• Copy of N400
• OLD INS documents (GC application)
• INS documents (address correction, FP appointment letter etc)
• 4 years Tax Transcripts
• 3 months proof of residency (Bills)
• 4 years W2 forms
• Ticket Dismissal
• Copies of everything above
In Houston, no cell phones allowed. The parking wasn’t so bad. I went there but waited in the car. He said I could have gone inside and waited in the waiting room. He dressed business but said most people were dressed very casual. I think it still helps to dress nicely.
He waited over an hour then called. The interview took only 10 minutes or so. He looked at his driver’s license and said he was too old for selective service so he didn’t ask for status letter. He looked through the passports, GC, went through N400 – mostly about crimes and such. Surprisingly he asked for marriage license. I almost didn’t get it until 2 days ago but got one just in case. He asked if the officer could make a copy of it. Officer told him it would help later on if they had the certified copy in file. So he gave it to him. He asked why he wanted to be US citizen and if he wanted to keep both citizenships – yes. He asked what status I am. Nothing about trips outside the country as he only had short trips. Little chit chat then verbal civic test. Some of the questions he could remember were:
• Color of the stars on the flag
• Chief of justice (Don't forget the Jr)
• Terms for senate and H-R
• How many senators
• What were the 13 states called before states
So pretty much all from the book.
Then he was asked to read and write a very simple English sentence. Too easy he said.
He said the officer was pleasant and professional. The next oath day is in August.
