Question for those that have already had their interviews, for the writing portion of the interview, do they tell you the sentence you need to write, or do you copy it off of something? My husband is sort of having a panic attack about spelling. Is spelling a huge deal?

They ask me to write "We pay Tax" on a Ipad. That's all. Reading was when is the Columbus day ? ( Popped up on the IPAD to read out loud)

Easy Peasy,

The vocab words are in the back of the civics Q and A  book they gave you when you did your finger prints. Generally pretty easy, but if worried about spelling go through this section.

They tell you the sentence and you write on the IPad screen. Mine was "We pay taxes."

Thank you all. I told him to go over the section in the book, hopefully that will help him. He’s just nervous because he still mixes up P’s and B’s. Even my father mixes them up still and he immigrated here almost 40 years ago.

Just got a notification saying that interview day has been scheduled 😃. I am waiting for them to upload the document so I can check when is the interview day. I will fill the new info in the data-sheet once I know.

 

How much it takes for the document to be uploaded from the time of notification?🧐

That may influence when they schedule your interview, especially when there is a ceremony coming up in Rochester.

Mine has never been uploaded so that's a possibility, but the actual notification will be in the mail by coming week latest the week after.
