She is having the interview on 9/18. Question:

The questions, do you answer them orally, or you must write out the answers?

... marked correct and then asked me the same Adriana Watson's questions:

1) Name of the national anthem,

2) What's the rule of law,

3) What is the ocean to the west of the US,

4) How old do citizens have to be to vote,

5) What happened on 9/11 (I knew they were going to ask that since today is 9/9)

6) Why does the flag has 13 stripes

Exactly the same questions!

You didn't ask me, but from what I've seen you answer everything orally except for one sentence which they ask you to write.

RPRR, you were eligible on 6/30. So you became a US citizen on 9/11 which was before the anniversary? How could that be possible?

I'm guessing they put their actual anniversarry date, not using the 90 days rule.

Thank you very much. We are both very happy. Thanks also for updating the timeline.

Also you are correct that I just put in the anniversary date and not 90 days before. Is the eligibility date use the 90 day rule?

I think both are correct for eligability, just depends on whether or not we take advantage of the 90 day rule.

How was your interview experience?

Had the interview and oath on 9/11/2013 at Honolulu USCIS. People from outer islands are scheduled for both interview and oath the same day.

Here's the process:

Arrive 8:55 am for a 9:20 am interview.

Computer issues made it almost 9:25 am before I was registered at the reception.

Waited till almost 10:00 am for the interview.

Interview was about 15 minutes long. I had about 15 trips total in the last five years including one made after citizenship application was submitted. Spent some time explaining this. No trips exceeded 3 months. Also explained my job since green card was employment based.

Reading question: Who was the first president of the United States?

Writing: George Washington was the first president of the United States.

Test questions:

1. Who wrote the Declaration of Independence?

2. Name one state that borders Mexico.

3. Name 3 of the 13 original colonies.

4. Who is the commander in chief of the United States armed forces?

5. What party does the president of the US belong to?

6. Name the two major political parties in the United States.

That's it. Passed test.

Got oath letter around 10:30 am for same day oath at 2 pm.

Went to have a heavy lunch. Back at 1:30 pm to register for oath ceremony.

Oath started promptly at 2pm. First video from Madeline Albright. Then oath ceremony. Then video from the president of the US. Then another video. Then pledge and finally the presentations. They were very relaxed. People could take pictures during the presentations. Over by about 2:30 pm to enable some of the people to apply for passports at the office next door. All in all a memorable experience.
