I had my Interview on Jan 5th - a very pleasant experience and here are the details:
As we enter USCIS:
We had to drop our Interview letters in the tray.
I saw a lady collecting interview letters, taking the files out and keeping the files ready and interviewing Officers were getting hold of files and calling the N-400 applicants based on the file/interview letter.
I was interviewed by a lady who was nice and sweet. She walked with me to her office, explained me the process briefly and the ususal oath was done first.
Then she asked for Passport, Green Card and Driver's License.
She obtained my signature on the photographs that were sent alongwith N-400 earlier.
Immediately after that she said she would ask me the questions first
Questions asked -
1. What did the declaration of independence do
(declared our independence from GB)
2. Name one branch or part of the govt
(Executive - others being legilature and Judiciary)
3. We elect US Senator for how many years
(six years)
4. If both President and VP can no longer serve, who becomes President
the Speaker of the House (not Speaker of the Congress)
5. What does the president's cabinet do
(Advises the President)
6. When must all men register for selective service
between eighteen (18) and twenty-six (26) (not Between the ages of 16 and 25)
She said I was supposed to answer 6 questionscorrectly, which I did so I passed that part and that she does not have to ask any more questions in that category.
Next she moved on to the English test Read the sentence- When is Columbus Day? and write the sentence - Columbus day is in Oct.
Once we were done with the above, she quickly ran through the N-400 applications, ran through almost all the questions from there, like checking it once again with me, then she verified some details of visits outside US with entries in my passport - everything appeared OK and she informed me that I passed the test and interview and that I should wait for about an hour to collect Oath Ceremony letter.
Briefly thats what happened - it was a very pleasant interview experience and it laster roughly about 1.5 to 2 hours.
We collected the Oath Ceremony letter and came back home happily.
I thank everyone on this forum - contribution on this forum was immensely helpful in preparing for all the steps.
Now getting ready for the Oath Ceremony - GLTA
