Does anybody have their oath ceremony on 6/20 at the USCIS office in Minneapolis? I haven't seen anything in the spreadsheet. Thanks!

Am I the only one on the 20th? That should go fast then :)

Hey guys,

my interview was today (6/5) at noon and it went super smooth

 

I work in Eden Prairie, but today, I went early. On Wednesdays I run with a run club downtown Minneapolis, so I just stayed downtown after that and then parked myself at Starbucks in City Center and worked from there for a couple hours. My interview was at noon, so at around 11 AM, I went back to my car, left my laptop in my car and started for interview location (250 Marquette Ave Minneapolis) -  my car stayed at City Center parking ramp but there is parking around it. This is what the building looks like:

I got at the building at 11:30 AM and didn't wanna go right away and wait. there was a barbecue food truck right outside the building. So I decided to quickly have lunch. Nothing speaks like America than barbecue pulled pork. it was yummy

 

image.thumb.png.57787fdb11c0d4a88241a499528bc853.png

 

I got at the office at around 11:45 AM. Security was simple. Before security, the guard did want to see the appointment letter. Had to remove my belt and watch, but not shoes. I could have brought my laptop too, it turns out.

 

After that I went to registration and they only wanted to see my appointment letter. Then they took my picture and finger print scans of right and left index fingers.

 

Note: At the USCIS office, there are windows where it appears they conduct some kind of interviews. That's NOT where naturalization interviews occur. You get a number and then they announce the number over PA. It seems like they could also show the number on TV, but that wasn't working. Also the PA volume was low, so keep that in mind.

 

The wait was not super long, around 20 minutes. At around 12:10, they called my name. My interviewer was very warm and nice. We went to the room and he wanted to see my passport, driver's license and green card. 

 

Then he made me take the oath that I swear that I'll tell the truth and nothing else, before me taking a seat.

 

He then started asking me questions about my application, where I live, am I changing my legal name (I am, but that wasn't reflected in the application, so he made that change), my previous addresses (one of the address was wrong so he corrected that), where I work (my title changed since application, so he changed that), my wife's name, daughter's name (application had that I had no kids, so he changed that as well). 

 

He then asked the yes/no questionnaire about my eligibility (have I committed crime, have I ever been deported, part of a communist organization.. etc). all these questions are part of the application as well. I said no. He also asked if I have ever been prince, or sat on an iron throne.. I said *spoiler* it doesn't exist anymore.. he said, I know and i have some opinions about that... then he asked me if I'll accept the constitution, pledge loyalty to the flag, bear arms if country wants me to.. etc.. I said yes.

 

Then he went to "reading" test - I was asked to read out out "Who was Abraham Lincoln?"

 

then he went to writing test - he asked me to write "Abraham Lincoln was the President during Civil War" - which I wrote. I had to write this on an ipad which was stuck to the table using a tech pen which had a pretty thick ball. So it wasn't easy to write.

 

Then we went to Civil test. I was asked to answer 6 out of 10 questions, if I answer 6 right away, we won't have to continue. While it wasn't a timed test, he did say that take about 10 seconds to answer, if you can't answer say pass and we'll come back to it. Weird, but okay.

 

Questions:

1) Who wrote Declaration of Independence? Answer: Thomas Jefferson

2) Name one state that is connected to Canada. Answer: Minnesota

3) Where is statue of Liberty? New York Harbor

4) Which month do we vote for President? Answer: November

5) Who's the Chief Justice of United States: Answer: John G Roberts

6) How many senators do we have? Answer: 100

 

After that, he said I passed, reviewed everything I discussed. I signed it on the iPad as well. He then said, he's going to recommend me to become a citizen and my oath ceremony invite will be sent in the mail in 2-4 weeks. He also mentioned that Oath ceremony would probably be in August or Sept. After that we went back to discussing Game of Thrones and our combined disappointment in last couple seasons. He then congratulated me and walked me out.

 

On my way out, I had forgotten my water bottle which he ran and returned it to me.

 

Pretty easy. He did say that this was pretty easy, right? no scary ICE Agents?

 

My application also updated on uscis.com right away (not my account though, which is weird)

Good luck to rest of you all!

Depends on your type of application.. if you are doing it based on 3 years and ROC together, then yes.. my case was GC based on 5 years, so i went alone and that was fine.

 

They will most likely mention this explicitly in your appointment letter.

Hello Peeps, 

 

I have another questions. Where is the best place to park for naturalization interview in near Marquette Plaza for N400 interview about 2:00 PM. I am a little bit nervous about parking because when I had an interview for my passport stamp, I kept driving for hours and I couldn't find parking.

 

Thanks
