I read a lot if posts about that issue and finally decided to take the advice of one member and just crossed out the 5 and replaced it with a 3. An IO told another member to only count trips after bec

I think there is an issue with this format. First you get inline for the interview and then you get the Interview letter. Am I correct ?

Fixing format Inline Interview section is now BEFORE Interview letter (Hopefully I didn't mess it up too much) lol Instructions for adding/updating yourself (or assisting others) to this list: 1.

I had my interview today and i passed, ya'all!!!!

Omgosh, I am just beyond happy right now haha... The IO checked the box "Congratulations! You have been recommended for approval!" and told me i should be getting the Oath letter in a few weeks!! :dance:

Here is my interview experience. I showed up at the field office at 8 in the morning, my interview was at 8:25. It is a big facility and a lot of ppl already waiting around in the room. After dropping my appointment letter off in the box, I was called 15 mins later. The IO office seems like a very nice and professional guy. He exchanges small conversations back and forth on the way to his office about the weather and he was asking me where i am going to school, etc... When we sat down, he opened the file and he found out that he was the IO that interviewed me almost 5 years ago when i first applied for GC!!! Hahaha, what are the chances, right? He even showed me his writing a few years on notes about my past interview. After that, he seems even more friendlier towards me (i guess it's due to the fact that he knew my case before)

He did ask a lot of questions though (casual and easy ones)

He asked me to confirm my address, and questions on my application to to clarify everything (for ex: have you ever claimed you are a citizen? Have u ever voted? Do you support the Constitution?....)

He asked how's marriage life going? any children? etc,...

Then he proceeded to the civic questions:

-What does the President cabinet do? - advises the president

-How many justices are there on the supreme court? - 9

-Name one branch or part of the government? - Legislative

-If both the President and vice President can no longer serve, who becomes President? - Speaker of the house

-What did the Declaration of Independence do? - declared our independence from Great Britain.

I answered all of them correctly, he then asked me to read the question: "What is the capital of the United States?" and asked me to write "Washington DC is the capital."

After all that, he asked me for my husband's proof of US citizenship and our marriage certificate. (he already had those copies in his file anyway, so i guess he just wants to compare the time line to see if it's correct). I didn't have the original copies with me because they were in a bank locker under my father in law name and he is traveling out of the country so we didn't have access for it. But I brought with me the same copied version (haha), and i just gave it to him anyway (i figure i'll explain it if he asked anything) but he didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that they are copied-version. He just compared them again and then moved on to ask for some recent proof of marriage. I gave him some recent utility bills, valid car insurance, current house insurance that have both of our names on it and he said "oh that's good enough, you don't have to give me anything else in the big file you brought there" (hahaha...)

After all that, he said i did very well and congratulates me and told me I should wait for a few weeks to receive the Oath appointment letter.

Yup, that is all folks! Now i am anxiously waiting for my Oath letter haha!!!! Christeen & FlipgaRN, let me know when you receive yours!

Also, I just want to say thank you for all the support all of you have for me and for each other. I wish the rest of you good luck in your process.

congratulation :)

I signed up for text and email updates for my application and had received a text saying "On March 20, 2013, we placed your application in the Oath scheduling que" Not sure how long it will take to get the Oath date but hopefully it will be in April.
