I married to my hubby who is a U.S. citizen in 2003 and received the temp green card in July, 2004. I can't remember when i got my permanent GC. :bonk: Then i had been busy in my life (going to business school for an MBA and then trying to find a job, etc) and never put citizenship application on my agenda. Until last year, i decided it was time to apply for citizenship. I submitted the I-400 in the first week of Nov and was scheduled the interview on Feb. 8th which was yesterday.

My interview went very smoothly and lasted 20 minutes. THe officer was super friendly. It was a very informal conversation. He did not ask me to present any document except my Green Card, Passport and DL.

The speaking question was "Why do people want to become U.S. Citizenship" (very classic question, ha! :)) The writing part is "Because people want to vote." (Bingo!)

The six questions were:

1. What the name is the national anthem?

2. What does "rules of law" mean?

3. Which ocean does west coast face?

4. What happened during 9112001?

5. When is u.s. citizen able to vote?

6. Why does national flag have 13 stripes?

Now i am waiting for the oath ceremony date to be set up.

BTW, when i submitted my application, i did not include a lot of supporting materials. I only gave them copies of 3 years tax proof, one copy of join account b/w my and my hubby, one copy of medical benefit for both of us, one copy of house insurance with our names on.

Hope it helps. Good luck with the folks who will have their upcoming interviews.

Cheers,

Congratulations! And welcome to Visa Journey :) .

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
