Hello, please we get updates on your interviews? I think some folks had their interviews already.

Thanks

My interview was on the 27th of January. The lady that interview me was friendly and very jovial. Cant remember all the civic question that was asked. but, some of them are..

Name the 2 longest river in USA

How many times do we vote for presidency - every 4 years

Name of US president.

Declaration of Freedom was signed in what year

My application was not approved immediately because the interviewer said that she need more time to review my case ( i guess because i use to travel out of the country for 1 week every month for the past 5 years). After 10 days, i received a mail from USCIS that my application was approved and it was schedule for Oath that same day.

MY swearing ceremony scheduled for next week.

But, quite unfortunately, Houston processing time is so slow 9months 10 days from application to swearing in

My interview was February 3rd at 7.30am. I got called in around 8.30. The interview lasted about 10mins. The lady was just straight to the point. She told me to raise my hands and swear to say the truth. She asked me the civics questions:

1) what is an amendment

2) what is the capital of Texas

I can't remember the rest, I got it all so she stopped after 6 questions. She told me to write a sentence and read another.

Then stated we would go through the application and that's it. We went through very fast, asked me if I wanted to change my name and I said no,after that, I signed the papers. Then she said I will be receiving my oath letter in the mail and gave me an approval paper. That's it.

I have my oath next week too. Finally, the journey is almost over.

When did you get your oath letter? It sounds like it was within a week or two of the interview.

When is your oath? I assume it's next Wednesday since Houston holds ceremonies on the 3rd or 4th Wednesday of the month.

Houston office seems to be the slowest in the whole country now for N-400 processing.

I still dont understand the reason for the changes in processing time from 4 month processing time from late last year to January this year compared to to 8-9 month it takes them to process N-400 application from February till now.

Anybody have any idea of whats going on?

What amazed me is that busier processing office like Chicago, NY , Atlanta all have a less processing time when compared to Houston office. They are just so slow.

My application was sent to them on 05/16/14 and biometric was completed on 06/19. In line for interview since 06/23/14 and no changes in status since then.

Very slow office indeed...............
