Citizenship Interview in Baltimore

[Urge To Race 2]

It has been a loooonnng time since I posted to VJ. My wife got her K3 back in March 2008. She just had her Citizenship interview yesterday in Baltimore, MD.

The interview was scheduled for 11:00am. We arrived at 10:15 (driving in from Bethesda). The security line extended outside, but progressed very quickly, and we were inside and checked in at the interview room by 10:25. We then sat and waited until she was called at about 11:25. She was in for 15 minutes and emerged with a big smile as she had passed.

The actual interview went like this:

A. The officer went point by point through her N400

B. Five civic/government questions

1)What is the party of the president right now?

2)There were 15 original states, name 3?

3)Name the major political parties in the US?

4)What is the supreme law of the land?

5)

C. The officer asked her to read "Abraham Lincoln was President"

D. The officer asked her to write "Abraham Lincoln was President during the Civil War"

That was it, she passed. She was given two slips of paper, one saying that her application was recommended for approval, and another telling her to return at 3:00pm for the same day oath ceremony. We went to lunch on the harbor, Baltimore Harbor Place, and ate lunch, walked back to the Federal Building and attended the ceremony, which started at about 3:30, and was finished by 4:15.

Six years after starting this process, we are finally done!!

Wish to thank you as well, since we'll be interviewing in Baltimore (hopefully) soon.

I wonder if same day oath ceremonies are common, as I want to be there for that, but would have to take off work.

if your interview is before 12 noon then its common to have the oath the same day in baltimore. i had interview and oath the same day in may 2011 in baltimore.
