I had my interview today. Arrived at the waiting room, they signed me in, asked me to take my mask off for a second and took my picture. And finally, confirmed left + right index fingerprints and gave me a number. 

 

When I was called into the interview office, the officer asked for my greencard and passport. Then they scanned every page of my passport that had anything in it. Has that happened to any one before? I'm guessing they wanted to confirm I met the criteria for presence as I have taken a fair number of vacations abroad over the last 5 years.

 

Confirmed my name and other identifying information. Then asked when I was last out of the country. I gave a range stating this month to next month, but they just wanted the answer to "when", so I gave the date the travel began. Didn't ask any questions about my travels beyond that though. Also didn't ask for any other documents like tax returns or my marriage certificate. I'm applying based on 5-years after employment based greencard.

 

Then went straight to the interview. Was asked 1) Name a branch of government, 2) Who is your is representative? 3) Who is the father of US? 4) How many representatives are in the House of Representatives, ... I don't remember the other two. Then the reading and writing test on the ipad.

 

Was then asked to take my mask off for a second. Then confirm some information on the ipad about myself. Like name, DoB, marital status, residence, etc that would appear on the naturalization certificate.

 

Then went through the questionnaire. They paused at some questions and asked me to explain what the question means. For a few of them, they didn't seem satisfied with my answer and kept asking. I got a bit nervous at this point and started looking around, and they were not happy about that. 

 

At the end, the officer gave me a letter that had two boxes checked that said:

• You passed the English, Civics, History, and Government test
• A decision cannot be made about your application at this time.

I really tried to explain the meaning of the questions as they asked. I understand English very well but I have a bit of an accent and speaking through a mask doesn't help. Added to the fact that I got a bit nervous didn't help.

 

I'm really worried, what do you all think?

Do not worry , I think you fine. Similar situation happened to cousin and she has been approved, so according to me you are fine. I still waiting for my interview notice , I applied the 21 November 2019 at Brooklyn and still nothing.

I'm little disheartened as I don't even know the reason behind this. I was counting on getting the citizenship to speed up my wife's F2A I-130. 😞

Yes I email them through the online inbox and I got a new oat date like 8 days after I submitted a request for missing notice  and call USCIS . My miss oat ceremony was on Nov/20/2020 . So everything took about  12 days to resolve.
