As promised, here's my interview experience. Interview was scheduled for 9.30am, I arrived at 9am. The line was a bit long and slow, got to the 15th floor about 9.20am. Handed in my appointment letter at window 1 and sat for just under 2 hours before my name was actually called. I was interview by Officer Jordan, she was not rude or mean but very professional, serious and got down to business. I swore to tell the truth and she asked me to have a seat. I took out my envelope to give her my updated trips that I had taken for my job. She said she didn't want to see anything unless she asked for it. She told me to put everything down on the table and not to give her anything unless she asked. She asked for all my passports that I've used, green card and driver's license. She ran through them quickly and then got into the English part of the test. Don't remember the line she asked me to read but I had to write "We pay taxes. She then had me sign a paper and we then got into the civics part of the test. 1. What is freedom of religion 2. Name one state that borders canada 3. What ocean is to the east of the United States 4. When was the constitution written 5. How many US senators are they 6. When must all men register for the selective service. I answered all correctly and then she asked me to sign another paper. She asked when was the last time I left the US, I told her I left on 13 APR to Paris and returned yesterday. She then started with the yes and no questions, then finally she got to my trips and she asked if that was all the trips I had taken out of the US (I had listed 3 trips). I told her I have an updated copy, she took a look at it. I had a total of 33 trips and 82 days out of the US. She asked if I was still employed with my employer to which I answered yes. She then asked if I had any proof that I was registered with the selective service, I gave her a copy. She then give me a paper saying I passed the Civics and English part of the test and also congratulations, you are recommended for approval. She asked if I had any questions for her, I looked at her with a huge smile and said no and finally she smiled back at me. She told me to take a seat until they called my name. I went back to the waiting area and waited for about 4 hours until they called. They took my green card, asked me to verify that the information on the certificate was correct, I signed the certificate and was once again congratulated. I was told that the Oath will be at 4.30pm. At 4.30 we all gathered into the room for the Oath but unfortunately it was the last oath of the day and they were still interviewing more people and printing certificates. The Oath was now delayed for another hour and 30 mins. Finally we all took the Oath and collected our certificates and I was out the building. Just like that I became a US citizen. Long day but well worth it. I spent a total of 8 and a half hours at USCIS today. Thanks to everyone on this forum for all your help throughout the past 4 1/2 months and I wish each and everyone of you the best of luck in your journey to becoming a US Citizen and after becoming a citizen. I can finally say my USCIS journey is finally over. It was a long one but a bitter sweet ending. God Bless you all.

Congrats niagara, I also got approved. My oath ceremony starts in 10 mins. I will post my experience as soon as I get home.

Hi, do you know if they will update my case status on the web saying, we have scheduled you for the oath ceremony, and we have mailed you the appointment letter.?

As right now, it says, they have put my case in the oath ceremony queue.
