That's great news Congratulations, and you're right, time to study up! I'm not even going to go there until I know when. I do pretty well on those Can You Pass the Citizenship quizzes you see, lol, but I'll leave the heavy going until I have an idea about when. Be sure to let us know when you get your letter!

Finally, a (very) long journey ended with me getting my USC yesterday. My interview was on May 9 at Newark. After passing the interview, I asked the IO if I could take my oath the next day with my spouse (whose interview was strangely scheduled a day after mine). She said yes(!!) and we took the oath together on May 10.

 

I am so thankful to everyone on this forum. It was great support and helped me every step of the way. Wishing all those waiting the very best!! 

 

Please update the chart for me - I seem to lose the formatting every time I do it.

Hi Latson, my husband has his interview schedule for Monday in Newark. Can you please share your experience, questions they asked etc. Oath ceremony? We are so nervous and cant wait for it to be over. Thanks.

Hi JaLady,

 

The experience was very smooth - we were nervous too but it is all very organized. There was an hours wait for both of us after our designated appointment time (they try to limit it to 1 hr - that's what my IO told me). The waiting room allows phones(on silent, text/surf only - you can step outside the room for a call). You are also allowed to bring in snacks and water as its a long process. There is a small store on Floor 2 which also sells snacks and every floor has restrooms/water fountains.

 

Once your name is called, the interview is in a little office. It starts with the reading/writing test (very very simple) followed by the 10 questions. Mine were:

How many years do we elect the President for?

Who takes over if the President is not able to perform his duties?

Name one of the 2 longest rivers in the US

When was the declaration of independence written?

Who was the president in WW1?

How many senators are there in the US?

Once I got the 6 right, the IO went over my application - just repeating the questions in there to make sure nothing has changed (employment, address, etc). That was it. She congratulated me and handed me a document saying I passed and a letter for the oath.

 

The oath is 3 times a day - 12 noon, 2.30 PM and 4 PM. So, if you finish your interview by 10 AM or so its a long wait again. The oath ceremony was about 45 mins long and was very well managed. There were 90 people from 31 countries in my group!

 

Overall, I found the IOs and other staff to be extremely professional and friendly. They know how important this is for everyone and they make sure you are treated with courtesy and respect.

I will remember it as one of the happiest days of my life  :).

You are welcome. I forgot one thing - after getting the oath letter, I had to wait again till they prepared the naturalization certificate. They call you to check it and once you confirm that it looks good, you can head over for the oath. Good luck to you!

[cdneh 3,112]

Latson, thank you very much for posting your feedback on the process. Most of us won't be going through your field office, but I think even so it's invaluable information of all of us still waiting. A little insight to the process can do a lot for a case of the nerves Thank you!
