I'm sure he'll do just fine. I remember during my oath taking ceremony, there was an old guy (between 65-75) being assisted to walk by his son. When he was called to get his certificate, everybody in the room was clapping/cheering for him. He smiled and said, "Great country!"

Thank you!

Had my interview and oath ceremony today and received my naturalization certificate.

I was scheduled for 9 am at Denver. Got there at 8:40 and went through security where they made me remove my belt, shoes, wallet, fitness tracker etc and scanned them through. Waited until 9:05 and they called my name.

He started with the civics and language tests and here are the questions :

1) What does the declaration of independence do?

2) Name one branch of government?

3) Name 2 US holidays?

4) What does the judiciary do?

5) Who was the first president?

6) How long is a senator elected for?

I was chewing gum and while on the third question, he noticed that and said I can't do that and got up, brought the trash can to me and asked me to spit it out. I did and said sorry.

Got all of that right and he asked me to read "When is Columbus day?" and then write "Columbus day is in October".

After that, made me stand up and do the oath and then started with the yes/no questions. All of them were straight forward. He asked me if I was over 26 when I got my green card and I said yes and he didn't ask anything further. This was about the SS registration, I guess. I'm over 36 as well.

While he was signing and stamping some papers, he asked about my family and talked about a state school that we(Interviewer and I) both went to. Once he was done stamping, he gave me a paper asked me to read and sign it and said he was recommending me for approval. He also gave me the oath letter for 1:30 in the afternoon.

The whole interview took exactly 9 minutes and he never asked for any document other than my passport and green card. I had a huge binder full of stuff.

We went out had some food and went to friend's house nearby and went back at 1:30 for the oath ceremony. Total of 41 people and it went fast. Probably took 40 minutes. They took our oath letter(filled out) and green card and after the ceremony gave us the naturalization certificate.

I will apply for my passport tomorrow.

So that's it.

Thanks to every one who contributed to this thread and others here on the forum who shared valuable info that made this process so much easier. Those who are still waiting, I hope everything goes as smooth as it possibly could and you will all get there soon. I will be checking this thread to see how everyone is doing and if any one has any questions or me, feel free to ask and I will try my best to answer them.

Yoohoo..Congrats!

Here's the update. My dads Interview went really well, it lasted for about 20-25 min. Here's what he said.. Officer went over the application to make sure everything was correct. There was a typo in my brothers birthday, which my dad pointed out . It was corrected by an officer with no problem. Some of the questions he remembered were:

Who is the president now?

Who is Chief Justice?

Longest river in US?

House of representatives has how many voting members?

Read: who was George Washington?

Write: George Washington was the first president of U.S.

That was it. We are just waiting on a 2nd floor now to receive an oath letter.

I have come back from my interview. I have been APPROVED.

Checked in at 12:20 PM for my 12:45 PM interview. Was called in at 12:50 PM.

As soon as we entered the room the officer asked me to keep standing and then had me take the oath to speak the truth.

He then asked me to read sentence 1 from a list of 3 sentences - What do we pay to the government? (not sure about the exact wordings)

Then he moved on to the Civics test.

What is freedom of religion? - You can practice any religion, or not practice a religion.
How many U.S. Senators are there? - 100
When must all men register for the Selective Service? - I said "at age eighteen". He asked me to give the other answer and gave me a hint "between the ages" - between eighteen and twenty six.
When was the Constitution written? - 1787
What ocean is on the East Coast of the United States? - Atlantic Ocean
Name one state that borders Mexico - California

Next he asked me to write the sentence on line 1 - "We pay taxes."

Then we went over the whole application. Finally he gave me N-652 and asked to wait outside for the notice of oath. Waited almost an hour for the N-445.

The oath has been scheduled for 18th March.
