My husband had his interview yesterday 4/3. His Interview was at 12:55, however he was not called back until 1:50pm. The waiting was the worst part. The interview took exactly 12 minutes. He was sworn in. She asked 6 questions which my husband got all right, and now can't remember which ones he was asked, lol. He is a Kiwi, so we didn't think he would have to do the reading and writing section, however he did have to. She flipped through his file, the only paper work she asked for out of everything we took was to see his passport. And that we were still married. She approved him for citizenship. We were told to keep an eye out for Oath Ceremony. One last step and we will finally be done. My husband said his file must have been 5 inches tall. Our whole life together in 5 inches. Good Luck everyone!

Apologies for the delay, wonderful VisaJourneyers. Hubby went for his interview June 19th at the Atlanta Field Office and was preliminarily approved in 18 minutes!  It was, by far, the fastest experie

The Reading and writing was super easy. She asked him to write a question and then to read the answer. Oh I cant remember what it was, my husband left on a business trip this morning, I will ask him later this evening exactly what it was. We just got notification that Oath ceremony letter is on its way. Hopefully no the date in a few days.

Hello guys just a quick question. Do we have to bring 2016 tax return for the coming interview however I submitted  the last 3 years transcript with my application. Especially for those of us who didn't received the interview notification yet.

Hmmm I didn't submit any of my tax returns with my application. I think I read it somewhere we can bring them with us to the interview, and I just received the electronic notification that my interview was scheduled on March 30, so I don't think that is the problem if anyone concerns.

 

I still haven't received letter in mail yet though. This is a lot longer than I thought.
