Report of Atlanta interview.

[nightingale 59 0]

My son and I had our interviews in Atlanta today. Our appointments were for 1pm, we arrived at 12-20pm but we're not allowed to sign in until 30 minutes before our scheduled time. Sign in was on the first floor they take your interview letter tell you which floor to report to give you back the letter and a number. We were both on the second floor, which was crowded and it was not clear at first what we had to do. You have to put your notification letter in a tray on the front desk, then a person behind the desk calls out your number, the one that you were given at check in. You go up to the desk and they take your fingerprints, index fingers only, and take your photo. Then you sit and wait for the IO to call your number.

There was a long wait in Atlanta today, over 2 1/2 hours. Numbers seem to be assigned to IOs and so numbers are called out of order for instance 4 people with numbers after mine were called before me so don't worry you probably have not been missed.

My number was called and my IO took me through to her office. She asked me to stand while she conducted the oath, then she asked for my green card and drivers license and passport. She asked if my address was still the same and opened my passport to check it was mine. Next she went through the application putting a check mark next to each question as I answered it. Before I realized it she started the test my questions were

What is the supreme law of the land

What do we pledge allegiance to

Who did we fight in WW 2

Who vetoes Bill's

What is the capital of GA

What is an amendment

My son's questions were

Who wrote the declaration of independence

Name the two major political parties

Who is the commander in chief of the military

Name a country that borders Mexico

Name three of the original colonies

What is the political party of the President

My sentence to read was where is the white house and to write the white house is in Washington dc

My son's was who elects congress and to write the people elect congress

Our interviews lasted about ten minutes we were both approved. My son was not asked about his traffic tickets and I was not really asked anything that was not on the application.

We were finished too late for a same day oath or even a next day oath. We were told that our oath letters will be sent to us and that we should have our oath within the next two weeks, so we shall see. We finally left at 3-50pm. Our big mistake was not having lunch before we went in. No food or drink is allowed but they do have a vending machine on the first floor, not sure what was in it. Parking is free and we found a space easily.

I am very happy that we were approved, good luck to everyone.

Congratulations!! My Atlanta interview last year was at 7.15 am. I was there at 6.45, and got sent straight upstairs.

The interviewer was already waiting for me...I was his first one of the day.

He called me straight in....and I was out of the building by 7.10....even before my interview.

I was nervous enough already....so glad I didn't have to wait for hours!!

I guess that the later in the day you are scheduled the more chance for a delay. The people we were sitting opposite told us their appointment was for 11-30 and at that time It was almost 1pm so we know we were in for a long wait, but you dare not leave the building in case you get called. I am glad it all worked out for you and that you are now a citizen. we are very happy to have been approved. So the wait for the oath won't seem to bad.
