I had my interview yesterday in Sacramento. My interview appointment was 9:00am and I arrived around 8:45am. The IO called me on time. There were only few people waiting on the area. The interview probably took about 10mins and its was an easy and painless one. The IO is an old guy and he even asked me if I'm nervous and I told him I'm very nervous because I only read the study guide the night before my interview. He had a questionnaire ready on his table. I got 6 correct answers out of 8 questions. The way he asked me was kinda alternate easy and hard questions. Then he re-run my application and the yes or no questions and he asked me to write down a sentence. Then he gave me the paper about the oath taking ceremony and he told me that I will be receiving a letter regarding the date of the oath taking.

Do you know how long would it usually take to receive the letter?

My husband's oath ceremony was today. It was a wonderful event. 62 people were sworn in from 25 different nations. They had social security and voter registration there today so he got to take care of all of that at one time. It is nice to see the certificate and know we can say "au revoir" to USCIS!

Tnh9479-Congrats on your husband's oath ceremony and thanks for sharing that here on VJ! :thumbs:

Btw...how was it like to have your children at the ceremony? Did they cause any problems or were pretty much well behaved throughout...Just curious..

Good luck with the rest of your journey as a USC and in getting your passport too.

just returned from my interview!!!

I had the appointment at 1pm, got there at 12:45 - so I had to wait a few minutes and got called shortly after 1pm.

First thing the IO (a very nice lady) says: I haven't had lunch yet, and Im starving. we have to get this through in 10min!!

so she went through the paperwork, made me sign my passport pictures, double-checked address, name, all the information in the N400 basically.

then the actual interview questions:

1. What is one promise you make when you become a US citizen

2. Who is the Governor of your State

3. Who was the first President

4. Name two US holidays

5. Where is the Statue of Liberty

6. What movement tried to end racial discrimination

All went well with the questions. Then I had to read 'The President lives in the White House' (funny, the lady said that even though English is also my language I had to do it....didn't know that English is the official language of Germany ), and write: The President lives in the White House.

That was pretty much all!

Then she went through some more papers, told me about her new cell phone and how she doesn't really know how to operate it, checked all the YES/NO questions again, and that's it!

then she gave me a letter saying that my application was recommended for approval, and asked me to wait in the waiting area to get my oath date.

After another 20 minutes or so of waiting I got the letter with the oath date: January 28.

So, only 9 days left and I will find out how Americans are made
