N 400 February Fillers

[deppeler 1]

Thanks! Report will be as detailed as I can remember...if I can remember anything after!

I know, I had a hard time remembering what was said, but looking back it was a breeze, I know human nature is to worry and it (the interview) becomes all consuming but truly it is very easy and everything (answers etc) just comes out of your mouth without giving it too much thought. And the feeling afterwards is worth it...a great relief

A friend called me last night to wish me good luck and she quizzed me (all of the 100 questions) on the phone. Was good because it is oral.

That's a good way to do it. My husband threw in questions every now and then when I was prepping for, until the very day of the interview. It helped.

I played my CD in the car every morning/evening to/from work, till I was sick of it and I had it in 3 voice types (accents), American female & male and hispanic male, I found that it helped hearing in these various ways (I wasn't sure who I would get at the interview!). Probably overkill but hey, it worked.

I PASSED!!! :dance: :dance:

Here is my report!

Got to the Garden City office at 1:56 PM. The appointment was for 2:05 PM. Went in to window 3 downstairs where the letter was stamped and was sent upstairs where the letter was taken from me. Sat in the waiting room with about 8 other persons. My name was called at 2:20 PM and I was taken into Ms. Iskhakova’s (very nice woman) office.

She administered the oath to tell the truth and then she asked for my green card, passport, and ID. She said that she would administer the test first and then we would go through the application.

Questions:

1. What is freedom of religion?
   
2. How many U.S. Senators are there?
   
3. When must all men register for the Selective Service?
   
4. When was the Constitution written?
   
5. What ocean is on the East Coast of the United States?
   
6. Name one state that borders Canada?
   

She had me sign the bottom of the test (she had written all of my answers in and ticked them off as correct).

She then asked me to read a sentence – it was a “longish” one and I cannot remember what the heck it was… Then I was told to write, “We have to pay taxes.”

Then she went through the entire application form line-by-line.

The IO was very nice and never asked for any other documents. I had a copy from my passport to give to her because I went home at the end of June but she said she didn’t need it – she just made a note of it in the file.

She gave me form N-652, Naturalization Interview Results, on which she had checked off:

1. You passed the tests of English and U.S. history and government
   
2. Congratulations! Your application has been recommended for approval. At this time, it appears that you have established your eligibility for naturalization. If final approval is granted, you will be notified when and where to report for the Oath Ceremony.
   

She told me that I should receive the Oath letter within the next two weeks.

And that was it! Anticlimactic after all of the waiting and stressing, for a 15 minute interview!!! And she told me that the Oath would be held in the Brooklyn Courthouse.

At 2:35 PM I was walking out of the building!!! YAY :dance: :dance:

Congrats!

That's funny, do they ask people the same questions on any given week? I kinda wanna do a research now!

The selective service one is the one that I forgot about.
