N-400 October 2016 Filers

[Reene 14]

Hey guys... Had my interview this morning! Needless to say, it's such a load off my shoulders to be over and done with that!...

Anyway, my appt was at 9:30 this morning. I didn't want to be too early so I reached at exactly 9:15... My commute from home took about a leisurely 30 mins, so I made use of the time by playing the civics questions CD in the car (which was actually a huge last-minute revision help!)  

My name was called about 9:25. The officer came out and introduced herself and said that she will be conducting my interview and that I should follow her back to her office. On the way, she asked me if the weather was still cool and nice. Honestly, I relaxed a little just by that question because I realized that she was trying to put me at ease a bit. When we reached the office, I was told to have a seat and that she would begin with the civics questions.  She then told me to take a deep breath and relax... And I did just that... These were the questions that were asked

 

Name 2 national US holidays

What movement tried to end racial discrimination

What do we show loyalty to when we say the Pledge of Allegiance

What is one promise you make when you become a US citizen

Who is the Governor of your state now

Who was the first President

 

After correctly answering all 6 questions, she then told me that I passed the civics test and the next part of the interview would be going over the application. She then went through everything (from my name at the beginning of the application) to the very last question at the end... This was mostly to check the accuracy of the info I provided... That took the most time at the interview... Anyway, at the end, she gave me a couple documents to sign and I was told that I should get a notification in the mail by the end of next month.  She then explained that the next date for the ceremony isn't going to be until June 16th.  

 

The entire process took between 10 - 15 mins!  At the end of it, I walked out the door in a daze because I couldn't believe that it was over so quickly....

 

I will update when I get my notification for the oath ceremony... Best of luck to everyone still waiting and hope to see that the rest of Oct filers who are still waiting, get their interview notifications soon!!!!

Interview passed.  After an approximately 10 min wait I was called in.  The interview itself lasted about 15 min.  The interviewer conducted the test first before going over my package.  I guess the worst part of the event was the trip through D.C. rush hour traffic since my appointment was at 0810.  😉

Seems so. Memphis went ten days ahead.  At this rate, I think it's going to be a very long wait indeed.
