For those who lost their interview letters or just never got them despite knowing an interview is scheduled:

 

Call and ask them to fax it to you. I called today and my interview is tomorrow. They faxed me the copy of the letter within 15 mins. The officer also told me it is at the discretion of the field office if they let you in or not without the letter.

 

It also specifically says on the letter to bring the letter with you.

 

Thanks!

Congrats again, your application is moving quick after such a long wait. Expect letter within 5 business days give or take. You're almost there!

Guys my interview was finally done this morning.  Past days and weeks was so stressful and finally i made it and  USCIS Form-N-652  is showing “Congratulations! Your application is recommended for approval. At this time, it appears, that you have established your eligibility for naturalization. If final approval is granted, you will be notified when and where to report for the oath ceremony.

 

Here’s the story of my journey today:

 

Set alarm for 5:45am. Interview time is 10:30am

Left the house at 7am.  Traffic was so bad going to Atlanta USCIS office. Arrived at the parking lot at 8:30am.  Walk towards the building and have to wait to be called by the guard to put all personal belongings on a tray for check up through xray machine like in the airport. Went to a window and showed my appointment letter. She told us to go to the second floor and check in there at 10:05 am since my interview scheduled was 10:30.  It was a long ordeal waiting in that cold room.So i just observed some people who were called ahead of me. Their are some applicants who took forever inside to be interviewed and their are some who was just quick and came out with a smiling face.  Funny i saw one USCIS officer who looked tough and i told myself, hope she will not be the one to interview me.   But, she was indeed my interviewer when i was finally called at 10:40am.

 

She guided me towards her office and told me to remained standing and raised my right hand to take an oath.

 

After that she told me to sit down, and asked me to hand to her my passport, Green Card, Drivers License and SSN card.  She asked if i have another id. I told her thats all ID i got because at work we dont have an ID but an employee number to used to clock in.  

 

Then she set aside all the documents she asked and took a pic of me. Did finger printing again. I dont know why. She said lets do your biometric again.

 

After that she handed me a paper to signed.

 

Then she asked me if i bring a new bank statement of me and my husband.  Oh gee! I thought about that last night but just ignored it.  I told her, I dont have any but I have a new phone bill and insurance of our car both under our name. She took that and attached it together to my folders. Oh Thanks God, she did not asked for more.

 

Next she handed me a paper to write a sentence.  Then the second paper there are sentences for you to read.

 

After that, she went through all the pages of the application form and asked questions whats in there. She will be signing the papers as she go along and doing works on the computer too.

 

Finally she asked me the civic questions.

 

        * What is the Supreme Law of the Land?

        * How many amendments does the constitution have?

        *Who is in charge of the executive branch?

        *What is the name of the Vice President?

        *Who is the chief justice Of the United States?

        *What group of people was taken to America and sold as slaves?

 

 

Guys, there are ready questions already printed on that paper which is intended for each diiferent individuals or applicants.  As she was reading the questions, she was checking it too and writing something after every answers you gave.

 

After that, she handed me the Form N-652 and told me to wait on the mail for the letter of Oath Taking schedule. She also said, to bring the green card and what is stated on the letter.  

 

She congratulated me and led me to the exit door.

 

 

 

 

I told my husband i need a good lunch and a drink.  Imagine guys I took a sleeping pill last night and went to bed at 9pm.  I had so many weird dreams.  LOL! Even in my dreams, I was holding the citizenship book and was memorizing.

 

@Waitinggame16  Im so happy you finally going to your interview soon.  Just be prepared for all the documents to bring. Bring current Bills.  

 

To all those waiting for the big day,  goodluck to all of you.

Congratulations @La Isla Bonita

 

Just one more waiting but this last wait may be the shortest wait but it will feel like the longest as you are almost at the end of your journey and want it to end.

thanks 

@hopephilly - i brought with me the birth certificate of my hubby and a copy of his passport and he was with me too.   yes i was under the 3 years rule-married to a US citizen.

 

The only thing the USCIS officer asked was the recent bank statement which i dont have. Be prepared on that. Each one of us has a unique case and each USCIS officer has different approach too towards applicants who comes for interview.  :}
