Kindly provide more details on your interview. Providing detailed interview experience will go a long way

My wife is the applicant, not me, but this is what she told me. I was in the waiting room. Interview took about 25 minutes. Started about 90 minutes after the time we were given. Our case is very simple, with no red flags, so your mileage may vary but this is what happened:

 

Started with the Civics test - got the first 6 questions right, so only 6 were asked. Test passed

Moved onto the English test - we assumed this would be waived as applicant is British and only speaks/has ever spoken English, but it was not waived - hey have you read a sentence, write a sentence and say a sentence. Passed this test too.

Then the officer goes through the n400 form line by line on her computer screen. We had missed a couple of checkboxes (that should have been 'safe' no answers) so she filled them in and had the applicant initial the corrections with a digital signing pad.

Once that was done, the officer asked for the Bona-Fide marriage documented I mentioned in my earlier post. Applicant said we didn't have them - because nowhere did they tell us to bring them. Officer said we were approved pending delivery of those papers (even though they have them on file already!) and that we could bring them back today and be approved today, or we could mail them in to that office. We brought them back and the officer quickly looked them over, scanned them in, added them to the applications and then gave the verbal approval.

Thanks for providing your experience. It's crazy how they would ask for her ROC documents.

Did you apply online?

We just had the N-400 interview this week, and despite having had the removal of conditions approved in November of 2017, we were unexpectdely asked to produce all that info again before the N-400 could be approved. 

 

We didn't have it with us, but fortunately, we had it all filed, and we live near our field office so we were able to leave, collect it and return same day to provide it. We were then approve din person and just got the formal approval notification this morning.

 

So, I would bring it just in case.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I will make sure I will take all the documents I sent in with my ROC application. I definitely don't want this process to be delayed any longer and am ready to put it behind me after the oath ceremony... it's been long and tedious. Do I need to take stuff I submitted with the initial AOS application? I would think the documents that were sent in ROC and newer should be enough?

 

Did the officer tell you that you were recommended for approval before you left? I've heard most of the time even if they are going to recommend for approval, they don't tell that to the applicant and end up saying "decision cannot be made." If they say "decision cannot be made" that will just cause more unnecessary stress.

Did they end up keeping the bona-fide marriage documents or just reviewed it and gave it back at the end of the interview? Just wondering if I should make copies of the copies before I take it in a few days.

We made copies on the way back over there. When my wife gave them to the applicant she scanned them and attached them to the electronic file. She then asked if we needed them back and shredded them when the applicant said no

Oh, I remember you mentioning that. I just got back from a trip, no issues coming in, actually, probably the least time it ever took me, literally just walked to the counter with no line on the Global Entry lane, got a stamp, and I was on my way out!

 

As for me, I'll update you guys, hopefully soon!
