N-400 INTERVIEW @ BOSTON

[TayRivers 4]

Had the interview today and here is the report:

We arrived at 8:10am for the interview booked at 8:30am, We had to hand in the interview letter at window 1 and then take a seat. The wife was called along with 4 other about 10 minutes later and asked to follow the officer, we were taken to a smaller waiting area and asked to take a seat. 5 minutes later the same officer called the 1st person and they were only in the room for 10 minutes then my wife was called.

The officer was David Voo and he explained that he was going to give the Citizenship test and then she would be interviewed my another officer. I was allowed to be with her the whole time.

Officer Voo asked to see her Greencard and then checked her details on the file he had in front of him. He asked is she has studied the old or the new test and she told him the old one, he explaned that he would be asking question that applied to both the old and the new test. He then started the test. She was asked the following questions:

1. How many stars are on the US flag?

2. What is the minimum voting age in the US?

3. What happened on 09/11/2001?

4. Who was the first President of the USA?

5. How many stripes on the US flag?

6. Who is the President of the USA today?

She was then asked to read the sentance "A US Citizen has to be 18 years old to vote"

She then had to write "US Citizen's can vote"

My wife could not belive how easy the test was, she had spend hours going over all the hard to remember one just incase! Officer Voo then said Congratulations you have passed the Citizenship test. He handed her a slip of paper and told us to go to room 160 and wait to be called for the interview.

We waited 15 minutes before we were called by Officer Davoy, We went to room 15 and after my wife raised her right hand and swore to tell the truth we were asked to sid down. Officer Davoy was very friendly and put her at ease very quickly. He looked through her folder and then asked all the Yes/No questions, He then asked if we had been out of the US since she had filed the N-400, my wife explaned we had taken a trip to England at Christmas time and that she had brought our flight Itinery for him to see. Officer Davoy looked this over and made a note of the dates then handed it back to my wife.

He asked if we were still married and living together and we replied YES, my wife said she had brought lots of evidence to show him like joint utility bills, joint insurance details, joint bank accounts and our tax transcripts for the last 3 years and also a full copy of this years taxes that we filled just yesterday. Much to my wifes disapointment he said he did not need to see any of it. He then explained that they have just digitized my wifes immigration records and he needed to call them up on his PC and just check a few things. Well he had problems logging into the PC and ended up having to call their tech support to get instructions on how to access the file, so that held things up for about 10 minutes but it was ok. He checked her security checks and her entry/exit information (we could clearly see the information on the screen, it showed her exit and entry dates at each POE for every entry she has ever made to the USA going back to 1992!!) He then started to check off thinds in red ink and then put a big "APPROVED" stamp on her file.

He explained that we needed to go back to the waiting room and we would be called to sign her photos and pick up the Oath letter telling us where and when it would be.

He thanks us for our patience and said Congratulations. We then returned to the waiting room and were called to the desk about 10 minutes later to sign the photos and we were given a bright pink letter telling us to be at Faneuil Hall on March 26 2009 at 12.00.

We left the building at 9:50am.

So happy that we are almost done.
