I've heard mixed reports, but I was not asked for them.  I didn't bother bringing them just in case either.  You wouldn't need 4 either.  For those that did bring them to the interview it was because there was issues with the picture that was taken at their biometric appointment, so really I think only one or two would have sufficed.  Not sure why people are bringing 4, especially given how expensive passport photos are nowadays!

just to be safe, CVS dose them i believe 13.99 plus there is an online coupon for 2$ off so you end up paying 11.99 plus tax for first set. you get 2 photo and than each additional sheet is 37 cent ( each sheet has 2 pic) 

so its not that bad compared to other place that charge you the same full price you paid for the first set for each additional set. here is the link, i hope that helps :)

So we had the interview today, and the US is going to have one more citizen!  Yippee!! :D

 

We had our interview in the Raleigh Durham office.  Our interview was at 9:45, we arrived right after 9:00 and went in early.  We sat around for a while and then at 9:30 a guy called up ''everyone who has a 9:45 appointment.''  He said he only needed the actual applicant so I waved goodbye to my husband and upstairs he went!  Around 10:05 he sent me a text saying he was done and all was good and he was waiting for the oath letter.  I might have started weeping a bit.  :rolleyes:  Then around 10:10 a security guy comes up to me and asks me when my interview is and I told him I was waiting on my husband.  He says ''you know there's a waiting room upstairs, you can go up!''  Yay!  I went up, gave my husband a big hug and asked about the interview.  He said everything was good and everyone was very nice.  Questions-

 

1. What did the Declaration of Independence do?

2. How many years do we elect a senator?

3. What does the President's cabinet do?

4. How many members are in the Supreme Court?

5. Name one branch of the government.

6. Who rules if the president and vice president can no longer rule?

 

He then told me for the English section he freaked out because the guy handed him a paper with four questions on it and the first was ''When is Columbus Day?''.  He knew when it was but he was all ''that wasn't one of the questions in the book!''  Then the officer explained that he needed to read the question, and write the answer ''Columbus Day is in October''.  My husband gave the guy updated travel info, but nothing else was asked of him (we applied under the 3 year rule).  All complete and good to go!  We left around 10:20 and went to have a celebratory wine at a local restaurant.  Oath ceremony will be in two weeks at a local university!  Yippee!!!

 

(We bought passport photos just in case, freaking $17!! I couldn't believe how expensive they were!  They weren't needed but now we have them for passport stuff.)

Sorry, not sure what FO? means.  I was requesting to be added to the Phoenix, AZ timeline with other applicants.  (Actually, this is for my husband's Citizenship app. )  I'm keeping track for him.
