I did.. here you go

I just got home! I was recommended for approval but he said it could be a couple of months until I will get my Oath Ceremony letter. I didn't like to hear that lol but I guess they don't do very many Ceremonies here, so now we are back to waiting

Here is my experience.

My Appointment was at 10am and I got there at 9:40am (my interview letter mentioned that because there is not very many seats, that we shouldn't arrive more than 30 minutes before our Interview Appointment). The Lady at the Window was very nice and asked me for the interview letter, my passport and my Green Card. I handed everything to her and she thanked me and said they will call you in as soon as it is or time!

I took a seat and waited. A few minutes later a lady came back in and asked for her Mother in Law. She was very happy and cried and said she passed the test I was so happy for her that I almost started crying as well

Then the next guy came back.. He was with his lawyer, most people were there with a lawyer which at first intimidated me, I thought did I miss something? Anyways the guy had not passed and the lawyer explained to him why not right in front of me. When he was sworn in he was asked to swear and he just said yes, then the IO asked can you explain to me what this means and what the word truth means? Apparently he couldn't. He then was asked 5 Questions for the Civics test and failed all 5. He then also said no to ALL yes and no Questions even the ones like "would you defend the constitution" and "would you join the military in a war situation" and all that. So the Lawyer told him not to worry and he would get another interview letter in 60-90 days and he should start studying again. So I thought.. well... I guess it does happen that people fail this... dang.. I felt and for him.

So I was next. The IO was a nice younger guy and introduced himself with his name. He took me to his room and all my paperwork was already in front of him.

He asked me to read "Which State has the most people" And then asked me to write "California has the most people"

Then he immediately went to the Civics test, my Questions were
1. There is 4 amendments to the Constitution, describe one of them
2. Who Vetoes Bills
3. During the cold war what was the main concern int he US
4. If the president can no longer serve who becomes president
5. What was one reason Colonists came to America
6. What is one right or freedom from the First Amendment

I answered all Questions correctly.

He asked me if I wanted to submit any other Documentation that USCIS doesn't have yet that has both mine and my husbands name on it, so I gave him the HUD from when we bought a house last year and some more bank statements from the last two years.He seemed to be satisfied with it and just filed it to the other gigantic stack of paperwork. He then went on to go over my application, asked if I wanted to Change my name or not and the yes and no Questions and then gave me all my IDs back. He said hang on to that Green Card for now you are not a Citizen yet but you will not need this much longer and we will take it back at your Oath Ceremony. You should be receiving a letter to come to your oath in the next few months. ( I was hoping he would say weeks but oh well it is what it is ) He said they would run one last background check on me but as soon as I would get that approval and the last signature from his boss I will get scheduled for oath...

That was it, It only took 10-15 minutes and it was a lot easier than expected Im still glad its over with though. Good luck to everyone else that has interviews coming up And fingers crossed it will be as smooth as it was for me for all of you

Back to being patient back to wait

Here's my experience! Good luck!?

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.

Funny, the last two poster had exactly the same questions for the civics and even the read/write part.

[MayoKy 10]

Yes, and recently I saw another post of someone with the exact same Questions

I wonder if the Questions get chosen by a Computer or something like that

[Buckyball 22]

Yes the are computer generated. The interviewer told me that they can pick everytime one out of three that the systems offers them.
