Hello RichardS,

this is my first post in this forum- and indeed your question is the reason for me getting registered in the first place :)

I had my citizenship interview on Wednesday (January 13) and would just like to share my experience with you...

My interview took place in Manchester NH.

Even though all of the officers I encountered during my immigration cruise had been extremely friendly and polite I was pleasantly surprised by the way I was treated today.

My DO went out of his way to make me feel comfortable, joking that he had not slept all night either, knowing he had to conduct a citizenship interview this morning...

Before taking the oath he made me write down the sentence "Lincoln was President during the Civil War" and begun interspersing the Civics test questions into some small talk "to break the ice". I was asked the following questions:

- When was the constitution written?

- Who lived in America before the settlers arrived?

- Who is the speaker of the House of representatives? (I was quite amused to see him looking up the answer to this question on his PC before he marked it as correct )

- Name one of the two longest rivers in the US.

- What are the first 10 amendments called?

- For how long do we elect the president?

(Did not have to read another sentence aloud.)

After this Q and A he confirmed that I passed the test he asked me to stand up and swear I'd tell nothing but the truth. He had me confirm my personal data and went through the whole set of yes/no questions. At the infamous question #16 he asked for documentation on the speeding ticket I had disclosed. I gave him a copy of the ticket and the check I had written to pay for it- and we had some joke about the occasional "need to speed" (which I told him I plain could not afford any more ).

After about 15 minutes the DO told me that everything was fine and that he'd schedule me for an oath ceremony within the next 120 days.

All's well that ends well!

Good luck to everyone who's currently studying- you'll be fine!

Take care,

Rebecca
