MikeAndIryna · August 29, 2012

My lovely wife had her interview today and passed with flying colors. Since everyone has always been helpful over the years and it seems like us VJ'ers never can have enough info, here is what she experienced at the Chicago office this morning.

Appointment time was 9:45, we got there at 8:30. Form said to go to the 3rd floor, we did and checked in, then were told to go to the 2nd floor and sit by Door #1. Not sure why there are two areas, but where they tell us to go, we go. At 10 AM the nice man called out my wife's name, asked her for her invite letter and off they went. 10 minutes later, she came out with a smile on her face, she had passed. We had taken all of the documents that were requested on the invite letter, original marital documents, divorce papers, birth certificates, translations, you name it. She was not asked for any of that. He only wanted to see her original Ukraine passport w/ the K-1, my passport and her green card. He then told her "I am going to ask you 10 questions, you need to get 6 correct in order to pass". Iryna has been studying and knew them well, and went 6 for 6. He told her she had passed and did not ask any more questions. He then asked her to read one sentence, which she did, then write a sentence, she also did that with no problem. He then asked her what was her birth date (to confirm I guess), that she was indeed divorced before - of course, and would she like her name changed (assuming more Americanized) to which she replied no. He printed out the N-652 naturalization Interview results form stating "Congrats", he shook her hand and told her she would be receiving a letter for her Oath ceremony in 2 weeks. In her opinion, very easy, very polite but man was she glad it was over and done with.

One note, be ON TIME. One couple showed up 5 minutes late, they met their adjudicator and was told they had to wait until the next available opening where someone missed their appointment - so always be early. That was at 9:05 AM, at 10:15 they were still waiting. A couple of other people walked out and did not look very happy, and I overheard one adjudicator tell a family member "she needs to study a little more, then can retake the test". I think the unhappy ones fell into this category.

For those of you VJ'ers who want to know every step, the questions Iryna was asked were:

* Who wore the declaration of Independence? (her reply was Jefferson, the adjudicator asked for the first name as well which she replied Thomas - she forgets everybody's name, glad she remembered this time)

* What is the political party of the President now?

* What are the two major political parties of the United States

* What is one promise you make when you become a U.S. citizen?

* Name one branch of the Government.

Question she had to read: What are two rights of the Declaration of Independence? Question she had to write: Who lived in America before the Europeans arrived?

Hope this help sooth some nerves for everyone. Just be on time, and study. The people at the Chicago office couldn't have been any nicer and the process was pretty easy overall. Granted it seems like it took forever, but like so many others, it was worth every step. Glad we are DONE!!! And when we have our Oath letter, we'll update the timeline so it doesn't skew the data.

Here's a new twist I'd like to share. So Iryna was approved last week Thursday in Chicago (see above details). We thought we'd get a letter this week and her Oath Ceremony would be in two weeks. She gets a telephone call from USCIS on Monday, asking her if she could come in Tuesday for her Oath Ceremony. Of course I was out of town for business, so we had to pass up this opportunity, which the USCIS contact said was OK, just wait for the letter then. Never heard before of the phone call for an Oath Ceremony, but it looks like it can happen!!

Had my oath ceremony yesterday. I got married since my interview and that seemed to shake up things at the ceremony as they had already made all the certificates. They had to edit mine to show my current status. Other than that, everything went smoothly and it only took about 45 mins.

cave-canem · August 31, 2012

Got my Oath ceremony letter today.

Scheduled for September the 27th.

Can some, please, update the records for me.

Thank you

Congrats! I'm still waiting for mine and the waiting just blows! I'm hoping that the letter comes in the mail when I get back from vacation. I checked my case at the USCIS website and it's still under Testing and Interview.

Hope I didn't mess this up, again. Had our Oath Ceremony today in Chicago along with 132 others. Went great, and we are finally DONE. Good luck to everyone else and thanks for all the support.
