Back from my interview. I passed! It was really, really easy.

I arrived 25 minutes early, went through security check, then upto the waiting room on the 6th floor.

My appointment was for 10:20am and I was called in at almost 10:30am.

The female officer was polite and friendly as she led me to her office.

I was placed under oath to tell the truth, and then she said we’ll start with the civics test.

My 6 questions were:

1. What movement fought to end racial discrimination? (Civil Rights)

2. Who was the first president of the U.S? (George Washington)

3. Who is the governor or our state? (Jay Inslee)

4. Name two U.S holidays? (New year’s day & Christmas)

5. Where is the Statue of Liberty? (New York Harbor)

6. What is one promise you make when you become a U.S citizen? (Be loyal to the United States)

Then was the reading question – “Who lives in the White House?”

I was asked to write “The President lives in the White House”

Then she said congratulations, you’ve passed the history & English test!

Then she went over my application asking questions, I answered them all and then signed my 2 pictures, and check the information that she says will be on my certificate.

She said I had passed the interview and I’ll receive a latter in 2 – 3 weeks for my oath ceremony.

My interview lasted about 8 minutes from start to finish!

She never asked for any documents except my passport, drivers license and green card. I had birth certificates, marriage certificates and other documents. I said I have my wife's birth certificate, she said it's ok, she had a copy in my file.

It should say.... I’ll receive a letter in 2 – 3 weeks for my oath ceremony. Instead of I’ll receive a latter in 2 – 3 weeks for my oath ceremony.

I couldn't edit it again.

Your application is recommended for approval at the interview. When a supervisor gives final approval (in a few days usually), your online status will change.

Not all applicants get updates after the interview, but most do. A small number have become citizens and their status still says Interview Scheduled.

Morning! Quick question..

I was put in-line on May 18th in San Diego

On June 10th I made an address change to Orange County (same state, but different district).

On June 15th, my status has been "updated" as again in-line for interview.

Any ideas why? Do you think they moved my file to the other USCIS district ? Or it is normal to have your in-line update twice?

Thanks!

Not sure but I wouldn't worry too much about it. Once you are in line you are in line. Even if they move you to the line of the new office, you will still be scheduled according to your priority date. If your new office has a less crowded line this could be to your advantage. Have you checked how long people typically wait in your new local field office?
