I passed my naturalization interview at San Jose office today. I checked in 20 minutes before my interview time and placed the appointment letter in the tray for citizenship interviews. I was called by an officer about 45 minutes after my scheduled appointment time. The actual process took only about 10-15 minutes.
After asking the standard background questions, the officer asked me to sign the last two sections of the N-400 form. He then made me write an English sentence "I am working as a ... ... at the company ... ...". He then gave me a paper with ten history/civics questions (all of them from the 100 posted at INS web site). He asked me to read each question loud, say my answer loud, and then write the answer in the blank space below each question. I answered all of them correctly, and he kept saying "Correct!" as I was telling him each answer.
He then handed me Form N-652, congratulating me for passing the interview. He told me that the Oath Ceremony should be in about 6-8 weeks.
Here are my timelines:
1. Filed: Sep 2001
2. FP: Jan 2002
3. Interview: Jul 2002
4. Oath: expected to be around the end of Aug/beginning of Sep.
