BethandBilly, congrats again

I was trying to send u an email but not able to

Guys,

sorry for the delay to post my review. Too much celebrating!

I applied for US Citizenship based on 3yrs marriage.

I arrived at Dallas office at 7:30am, was called in about 8:15am. Interview lasted about 20min or so.

Officer wasn't very friendly at first (not even good morning) but after a few minutes she started to loosen up.

Since she noticed I could speak English well, she jumped straight into the civic and writing portion of the interview.

Some of the questions were:

Who servers if the president is unable to serve?

Explain one of the 4 amendments about voting?

Why does the flag has 13 stripes?

Name one right of all Americans that is on the first amendment?

(can't remember the other 2) She stopped at question 6, since I got all correct.

Reading question was "Which state has the most people?" Written answer: California has the most people.

I joked about my bad hand writing, she smiled and said most people had it worse than mine.

She then went on to look at my file. It seemed like she hasn't seem my file before (it was huge! every single piece of paper I ever sent to them)

The file was divided from AOS, ROC and Citizenship.

She asked me address, DOB, etc and then the YES and NO questions.

Asked if I worked and showed an interest in my job, kept asking questions about it.

She was curious why I had traveled outside US 7 times over the past 3 years, I explained I have to go overseas for work.

She didn't ask for anything I had brought, besides GC, DL and passport. Not even my latest tax return. Didn't ask for original of anything.

Then she said it all looked good and I was approved. She left to get a piece of paper and came back with a form for me to come back same day at 1pm for oath ceremony.

The whole interview was in a very friendly mood and I wasn't nervous at all. She talked how behind she starts her day and I asked how many more cases she had that day, she said 13!

I came back for ceremony at 1pm yesterday, and there were 70 others from 27 countries. I was expecting more from the ceremony. It seemed like they are doing so many that it's not very personal anymore, the officer was reading off a page all she had to say and was mechanical. But it was emotional to sing the national anthem knowing that I was about to become american.

It lasted about 1 hour and I got my certificate.

I'm finally done with USCIS!

Thanks everybody for you support here on VJ.

I received this email on Tuesday:

The last processing action taken on your case

Receipt Number: NBC*0024XXXXX

Application Type: N400 , APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION

Your Case Status: Oath Ceremony

On May 29, 2012, we scheduled you for your oath ceremony and sent a notice providing the date, time, and location. If you move prior to the scheduled ceremony, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

The thing is, I checked the ceremony schedule on the Paramount Theater's website (that's where they do the ceremony for SF local office), and the dates available that are close are June 20th and July 11th. I will be on a business trip from June 17 - 24, so if it falls on June 20th, I will probably have to reschedule. Considering that it is already scheduled, I'm thinking it is very likely to be on June 20th. Oh well. I'm keeping my fingers crossed though, until I receive the actual letter.
