Wife passed interview. Got the "approval recommended" sheet. Said ceremony letter will take 2-4 weeks, and to expect a ceremony some time in February.

Naturally, this is going to conflict with travel plans - as I expected. Told wife not to plan travel until this whole thing is done - but NOOOOOOOOO.

We'll probably end up having to reschedule the ceremony until after we get back, so she can travel with her passport and PR card.

Just wanted to share with everyone that I recently returned from my citizenship interview in SF. It was pretty straight-forward, and my application was "recommended for approval".

Nothing out of the ordinary - came in 10 mins before the scheduled interview. Waited for approx 20 mins, and the interview itself lasted for ~30 mins.

It's been mentioned in this forum too, but the officer was very detailed and reviewed my N400 line-by-line. From time to time he also made notations on the form. There were some questions I didn't expect - such as whether I'm renting or buying, who lives at my place, whether my wife came w/ me in the past 4 international trips I listed on the form, whether I've ever had any traffic ticket, whether my wife or myself have ever had any children outside marriage anywhere in the world, where's my wife right now, among others. He also asked for a joint bank statement and car insurance, which I fortunately had with me. In addition, he also took a very careful look at my joint tax statement.

Here are the questions asked (not in this order):

1. US flag color

2. Father of the country

3. How many members there are in supreme court

4. Who's the commander in chief of US military

5. How many branches there are in the US govt

6. Who elect congress

7. Requirements to be a president

8. Most important right to US citizen

I hope the oath letter will come soon, and good luck to everyone. Feel free to write me if you have any questions I could help you with.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Still no interview letter in the mail.. I see that people using the CSC who filed after me already got their interview date. Should I be worried? Should I call?

NO. In general, people on here could really lower the stress in their lives by being less neurotic about the process. I'd give it until at least 2 months from now.
