N-400 Interview Experience at Fairfax office.

[talkative 1]

Hello Everyone -

I had my naturalization interview last week in Fairfax, VA office. It was a 5 minute interview, I had my appointment for 8:20 a.m. and I was called at 8:22 by the IO. The IO was a fairly young male in his mid 30's, he introduced himself on the door and than again when we got in the office. There was another officer with him who was in training, IO introduced that officer as well. The officer began with N400 application, asking usual stuff like address, phone number, etc. Asked for my passport, green card and drivers license - he also saw my selective service registration card and matched the number I provided in the application. After that he gave me a line to read, which was:

What is the capital of USA?

and asked me to write:

The capital of United States is Washington D.C.

Than he asked me 6 simple civic questions

1. What is the supreme law of the land?

2. What is an amendment?

3. When was the constitution written?

4. What is the rule of law?

5. Who makes Federal laws?

6. Who wrote the Declaration of Independence?

After that he stopped and said Congratulations you have passed the test and asked if I was available that day for the Oath Ceremony. He scheduled me for the same day Oath ceremony at 2:00 and told me to report at 1:00 p.m. I was out of the office in a total of 30 minutes in the morning and returned back at 1:00 p.m. I applied for the N400 in the first week of March and was fingerprinted mid April.

I took the Oath the same day and got my certificate. I will be applying for the passport book pretty soon. How long does it take to get the passport if you expedite the process, does anyone knows? and how can I find out which Postal offices accepts passport applications.

Congratulations on your newly acquired status.

There is also a post on this board "Passport Filer" started by DeeBee asking posters to list their time lines on their passport applications. You can read the post to get a feel on the application turn around time posters on this board experienced, and add your own on that thread if you like.

Cheers

Congrats!

When they asked your phone number... did they specifically asked home phone number? Because I have put my cell number as my day time number. So if they ask for home phone number should say the cell number that I entered or my home phone number? Please help.

Thanks.
