N-400 Sept filers

[Rachel Chen 1]

Thank you, Alisya.

Yes, my interview went smooth. IO is a nice lady. The first question she asked me is why I want to be U.S citizen. I answered it is because my husband is U.S citizen and I supposed to be. She laughed to my answer. My interview took about 30 mins. English and civic test took only about 5 mins. She asked me so many questions to our marriage. I feel like more than my green card interview but very friendly way, just like casual conversation.

She asked me to read a sentence "what state has the most people?". And She asked me to write "California has the most people". The questions for civic test are;

1) there are 4 amendments to the constitution about who can vote. Describe one of them.

2) what is one right or freedom from the first amendment?

3) who is the in charge of excecutive branch?

4) if the president can no longer serve, who becomes president?

5)what is one reason colonists came to America?

6) during the Cold War, what was the main concern of the United States?

Then she said I passed the English and civic test but she said she needs to go over the questions to my N400 form and asking spelling to the name, address, phone number, work...

In this point I asked her if it is possible I change my mind to add my husband last name to my name. (In our culture it is not necessary to take husband last name so that I didn't change when we married). She said she can change my last name to my husband but she can't add since my name is too long and they no longer do name change. I don't wanna take off my last name. So, I ended up keeping my current name. ?

After all the questions to N400, she let me sign in the sheet and hand me a paper to read. That's interview result!!!

YES, I PASSED! ?

She also gave me notification to oath ceremony on Jan 21 2015. Wow...that's only 16 days away. Can someone update, please?

Thank you, everyone. Thank you, VJ. Thank you my fellow Sep filers.

Thank you, Alisya.

Yes, my interview went smooth. IO is a nice lady. The first question she asked me is why I want to be U.S citizen. I answered it is because my husband is U.S citizen and I supposed to be. She laughed to my answer. My interview took about 30 mins. English and civic test took only about 5 mins. She asked me so many questions to our marriage. I feel like more than my green card interview but very friendly way, just like casual conversation.

She asked me to read a sentence "what state has the most people?". And She asked me to write "California has the most people". The questions for civic test are;

1) there are 4 amendments to the constitution about who can vote. Describe one of them.

2) what is one right or freedom from the first amendment?

3) who is the in charge of excecutive branch?

4) if the president can no longer serve, who becomes president?

5)what is one reason colonists came to America?

6) during the Cold War, what was the main concern of the United States?

Then she said I passed the English and civic test but she said she needs to go over the questions to my N400 form and asking spelling to the name, address, phone number, work...

In this point I asked her if it is possible I change my mind to add my husband last name to my name. (In our culture it is not necessary to take husband last name so that I didn't change when we married). She said she can change my last name to my husband but she can't add since my name is too long and they no longer do name change. I don't wanna take off my last name. So, I ended up keeping my current name. ?

After all the questions to N400, she let me sign in the sheet and hand me a paper to read. That's interview result!!!

YES, I PASSED! ?

She also gave me notification to oath ceremony on Jan 21 2015. Wow...that's only 16 days away. Can someone update, please?

Thank you, everyone. Thank you, VJ. Thank you my fellow Sep filers.

Congratulations and great review! You've confirmed what others have posted That the Northern California field offices, primarily Sacramento and San Francisco, I have not been allowing name changes for the last two years. I think this is because those two offices no longer offer judicial ceremonies through the courts.

[Rachel Chen 1]

Thank you Jimmy.

[Lollo 3]

Congratulation Rachel! I have been asked the same questions last month in Sacramento as well. Maybe we had the same officer during our interview.

I guess I'll see you the 21th during the Oath ceremony.

Bye

Jimmy, You could always try to give them a call and possibly talk to a level 2 officer. Though I recall something about having to wait 120 days, still in the worst case they will tell you to wait a little longer.
