Thanks everyone!!! We got there at 11am. His appointment was for 12:30 & the letter said be 30 minutes early. We waited in the car til 12, then went to the door where security was. He had to take off his watch, belt & everything out of his pockets. He went to drop off his letter at the window and we waited from 12:15-12:45 when they called his name.

He said the officer started with swearing him in, then the 6 out of 10 test questions, then went over personal questions. He was asked when was our anniversary, where does he work and live & where he worked in Ga. The officer wanted to keep the originals which was our marriage certificate & birth certificate but Adam told him we needed them back. (I know the interview letter said to bring originals of everything you sent a copy of) so I don't know why the officer acted like he needed the originals but he made another copy of them instead. He asked about the past 3 years in taxes bcz we pay around $300 to the IRS each year and he wanted a copy of those receipts. Adam told him that isn't what the interview letter asked us to bring so we didn't but that I could get them if he needed them, so he said its ok and you are approved & stamped his N400 with the red approval stamp. Then he had Adam sign off on the name change sheet but the officer made a mistake and added his old middle name & Adam told him he doesn't want a middle name so the paper got redone and Adam got to sign it with his new name.

He was told not to wait in the waiting area like others were doing bcz he would get a letter in the mail for his oath ceremony in the city closer to us. Houston is about 40 miles away and so is Beaumont. He said we live near Beaumont so he will have his oath ceremony there.

Congrats Tamara wishing you the best always. When Farid has his interview I did not attend with him as he said I would make him nervous so I stayed at home. He went in and out in 10 minutes and was not asked anything personal. He had the list of items they asked him to bring in the letter as well. The waiting for the oath was the hard part on us because he had to go get biometrics once more as they had expired and then we took our trip to Morocco so we had to reschedule the oath. But finally he had his oath and we are now applying for his US passport.

It feels really great to finally be over all this. Hope you can now take your vacation and have a great time Tamara. Much love to you.
