Hello i thought your wife interview was today? How was the interview? do please share the experience. Thanks and good luck

Hello, Yes it was today. I am posting it here shortly

[mmkshah 37]

My Wife had N-400 and I-751 interview this morning.

We arrived at USCIS at 7:45 and were waiting in line outside for security which took about 15 minutes. I was able to go in with my wife and waiting inside the waiting area while she was interviewed.

The combo interview took about 30-35 minutes. The additional documents that he asked were for updated tax returns, joint bank account statement, utility bills.

For I-751, he asked who lives in house and who owns it. My name and birth day. With my wife being pregnant, he asked who is the father of unborn child also asked for document for the pregnancy. We took our last doctor’s visit and couple ultrasound pictures.

For the civic test below are the six questions that he asked:

1.      What stops one branch of government from becoming too powerful?

2.      Who vetoes bills?

3.      What is the highest court in the United States?

4.      How many justices are on the Supreme Court?

5.      What territory did the United States buy from France in 1803?

6.      What did Martin Luther King, Jr. do?

Reading test: Who can vote?

Writing test: Citizens can vote.

Then he went through all 50 yes/no questions and also ask what does Genocide and Persecuted means.

After all these, he said she is approved and he will approve the application in couple of days after he has chance to go through all the documents.

Oh sorry. After he had passed the test on December 15, it immediately updated the next day saying oath ceremony was being scheduled.  Then it took 3 weeks to get the date of the ceremony.

Thank you for the updates! It gives me hope even though my husband's case isn't moving yet.

Hello .. my interview went well . It was actually yesterday morning. Apologies for the date mix up 🙈

I was scheduled for 8am . Arrived in good time and was in the queue by 7:45am, despite the long line, I was in the building and thru security within 10mins . Made my way to the 3rd floor and checked in with the receptionist. Was seated for 5 mins when my name/ number was called out by the case officer assigned to my case.  Upon entering the room the case officer and I had small talk after which we went over my application and the change of name I requested. Took the civic test, read and write test . Answered the eligibility questions . Signed some forms.  Was approved and given a form to that effect , told I should get my oath notice within 3-4 weeks . The whole process was approximately 15mins from start to finish . Upon checking my case tracker on my way out , it showed I was in line for my oath to be scheduled. 
 

These are the civic questions asked: 

 

- What did Susana B Anthony do ? fought for Women’s  right 
- When is Independence Day ? 4 July 

-US war involved the North and south ? Civil

war 

-Who is the commander in chief of military? The president 

- One war fought by US in 1900s? WW1

- Name 2 national US holidays? Christmas and new year 

All the best with your journey.

Hello and thank you 😊. I took with me the last 3 years tax transcripts, daughter’s birth certificate and few other documents showing our current address . Ironically the case officer did not ask for any documents, however when I mentioned the documents I had on me and if it was needed, the case officer opted for our tax transcripts and our daughter’s birth certificate .
