Interview done in all of 15 minutes...  Did notice that my file was approximately 1-1.5 inches thick.

 

Recommended for approval with an oath set for Jan 11 in Rochester - just shy of a full year.

 

Almost done...

 

Good luck to those who are still here.

Thank you Ruby_7, my congrats to you as well buddy!!!

It was a long wait for at least 3 of us... and to be honest with you I did not expect to get any updates from USCIS this year... I was like, nah... these guys will not surprise me and sure they did...

I don't know my Interview date yet, but based on the pace I may assume it should be right after yours. What a relief huh? 😁

 

Happy New Year to All!

Sure thing - just didn't have a computer handy yesterday...

 

Questions - as many of them as I can remember...  What does the cabinet do, How many years do we elect Senators for, How many supreme court justices, Who becomes president if netierh president or vice-president can serve.  I can't recall what the last two were, but I did notice that all of them were pre-selected and printed out.  I did have to read 'What month do we celebrate Columbus day' and write 'We celebrate Columbus day in October'. 

 

Beyond that, it was a simple matter of going through the questions on the application, and she wanted to see my passports - I had one expired one and the current one with me, but since most of my trips were to europe, as an EU citizen, I don't get stamps there, so they are pretty much empty other than US entry stamps.

 

I was asked about trips out of the country, where all I could state directly was that I had attached a full listing, and beyond that I could only state that I had gone to Europe roughly once a year except for 2016, where I did three trips out there - all to visit my mother who lived in France.

 

For the entire experience, I had a 2:45 appointment, and got to the office at about 2:15.  Took few minutes to go through security (winter in Buffalo - coats, scarves etc), then they had a hard time scanning a fingerprint at the reception desk.  Got called up about 30 seconds of having sat down at right around 2:25, with the IO stating that she had a no-show so she was well ahead of schedule.  We were out of the office with everything taken care of by 2:45-2:50, with an Oath notice in hand...

 

There was only a slight bit of back and forth questioning when asked about military/militia service - I have served in the Finnish Army as standard conscription, so going through those questions was nothing more than stating that yes, I have served and I have had military weapons training.  The question was about a militia, which was specifically relating to a non-national army militia, so the correct answer there was no.

 

I was also asked about tickets and the like, and she simply asked what the traffic ticket fines were, and since they were under $500, she didn't care.

 

Quick, easy, done.
