New Citizen .. The Journey is OVER!!!

[RichardS 0]

My wife had her interview in Atlanta (October 2009 Filing) on Tuesday Jan 19 and then her Oath Ceremony yesterday Wed Jan 20!

It appears that everybody are being asked virtiually (if not identical) questions and it looks like the are the same for many USCIS Office and change by the month! There is a pattern here!

My wife didn't remember what she was asked to "read!"

She was asked to write "The President lives in the White House."

She was then asked 6 questins which she passed with flying colors ...

1) Name of governor of the state.

2) Name 2 national holidays.

3) Who was the first President?

4) Where is the Statue of Liberty?

5) What is age to vote?

6) What was the name of the movement - Civil Rights Movement? (sorry if not exact question .. look at your test documents.)

While waiting in line yesterday for security screening to get into the oath ceremony, I overheard 2 other people talking about their interview .... they had different questins to read and write but the Civics Test questions were 100% IDENTICAL!

So that information (and similiar situation with some posters in December who had same questions at different USCIS locations) leads me to believe that there are the same questions being asked across-the-board for the month of Jan 2010!

In any event ... GOOD LUCK to everyone else who are going throught the N-400 Process ....

My your journey be a good one with a fantastic ending!

I had almost the same questions!!

so to all January Interviewees - there is no guarantee, but I recommend you pay special attention to the questions quoted above!!!

Congrats to your wife, RichardS!

That is fascinating about the same questions in every month, I can see how USCIS would send out a memo with the questions to ask each month.

I know it has to be a fantastic feeling to be done with the bureaucracy of the USCIS.

Congratulations!!

Did they call you pretty much at the time your interview was scheduled for? How long did the interview process last?

I assume you came with your spouse. Were you allowed to go with her during the interview process? Or were you asked to wait outside?

Sorry for all the questions - I have my interview coming up in Atlanta in a couple of weeks!

Generally, Atlanta seems to be pretty good at keeping on scheduled times. No, the spouse is not allowed to go in for the interview and yes, the spouse must wait in the waiting room. The waiting room is on the second floor, however if they are really busy (having an oath ceremony at the same time) you may be asked to wait on the third floor. The interview process is about 10 to 15 minutes at the most and is very non-threatening. Atlanta is a good office to deal with - and if your interview is in the morning before 11 there is a good chance you can get a same day oath ceremony.

Good luck at your interview.
