Interview date is fast approaching and I'm just a wreck. Seeing the questions here and me answering to it gives a little bit of confidence eventhough its completely random. Feel free to post your interview questions. With how my work had been this month (working almost 16 hours per day and working every other weekends), I don't have any time at all to study.

I posted my questions from last week. They were very easy. I was so nervous but honestly sitting in the waiting room was worse than the actual interview. I played the CD in the car all the way to New Orleans and would answer the question before the answer came up. Have you tried the CD? I found it useful for the questions to not be on paper, as that wouldn't be how they were asked.

Same here, I find the CD is very useful and convenient. I place it in the car and listen to it anytime I drive. I dont even need the book at all. However I came to hate the voice of that speaker very much

Bonus: unexpected:

One late night I had to pick up my husband at his work. My car was parked on the street. And I was feeling uneasy because I once experienced a man appoached and asked me for money. So I quickly got in, started the car. And right away somebody suddenly spoke up. In roughly 2 seconds or so I was freaked out seriously, scared that somebody was sitting in my car, I was in danger and my life might be finished for. Thanks God, in no time, I realized it is the voice from the 100 citizenship question CD.

Yeah her voice can get annoying after a while LOL

Oh man... I never heard the CD.

Maybe I should go back and listen to it

I passed my interview in Tampa today. I have been recommended by the IO as being eligible for citizenship and I should have my Oath Ceremony letter in the mail in two to three weeks.

My process was much the same as everyone elses. I arrived 25 minutes early but wasn't called through until 40 minutes after my scheduled appointment time. The office was very busy but I deduced that many others were going in on time. It would appear that cases are assigned to specific officers rather than just picked up by random IO's and if one of them runs late then all cases assigned to that officer will run late, while other appear on time.

I went to a private office and was asked to remain standing to swear an oath of truth. One done I was seated and then the officer asked me to produce my GC, DL and all passports I have ever traveled with. While he flicked through the passports I was asked to sign my name on the side of the front of my two passport pictures I had sent in with my application. He then confirmed everything I had completed in my N-400 (name, address, employer etc) including asking me all the YES/NO questions (have I been associated with a communist group, persecuted anyone because of race, blah, blah). I was then asked to sign the last page of the N-400 application twice and print my name.

He then asked me to read the sentence "What is the state with the highest population?" Following this I had to write (no request for cursive or any particular style) "Washington is the father of our country." He then asked me six questions from the one-hundred we have been asked to study and he made notes as he went. I guess I got them all right as he only asked six questions in total. There is no point me writing out which ones they were as I do believe they are picked at random (probably by the computer which was printing stuff for him as he requested it during the interview) from the 100 given to us so anyone wanting to try to save time or gain an edge by just studying those mentioned here would be doing themselves a great disservice. Learn them all. It isn't hard or particularly time consuming and as mentioned before, if you are short on time use the CD in the car or convert to MP3 and put on your portable player.

When this was done he then told me I had passed the tests and he was going to recommend me as being eligible to citizenship and to wait for the oath ceremony letter in a few weeks. He printed off a form confirming all this and then showed me out. Whole process was less that 15 minutes.

The IO was polite, but business like at all times. I tried to engage a little small talk but I get the impression that he was very behind and trying to be thorough but speedy about the interview. Other officers I saw greeting interviewees appeared much more relaxed an jovial, but like I said I have no complaints about him, he was very professional.

With regards to attire. I saw plenty of people going to the interview rooms in jeans and tee's. Others like me were more dressed up. Despite being in FL I wore dress pants, shirt and tie (I was the onyl one with a tie) and felt appropriately dressed for the occasion and therefore respectful to the IO.

My wife came with me and as I left her and entered the interview area the IO asked me if that was my wife. It might just have been a passing question or her being there might have added weight to my case of citizenship on the three year marriage rule.

I took everything listed on the document checklist and more however nothing was asked for except the items listed above. I suspect all those things are asked for in the hope that if you failed to submit them in your application they can copy and include them at that point. I have always been meticulous about my apps and supplied way more data/evidence than requested and as a result have never been called an interview or received an RFE for any of applications (K1 thru N-400) up until this point. If you are thorough and learn early on what is required from you at all future point of your immigration process then you can ensure that you collect all the evidence you will need for when your application comes.

Good luck to everyone still awaiting interview and oaths.

Same here! Can't believe it is finally over. Good luck everyone.

To everyone who has had their oath ceremony already, did they make you sing Lee Greenwood - God Bless the USA? My husband played me this song after my interview as a joke, then it turned out to be a song in our oath ceremony.
