Just had my interview today at 8:30 AM and almost could not make it due to the traffic going into Milwaukee. IT WAS TERRIBLE! Got to the field office 15 minutes before the scheduled time. All the staff are super friendly. I waited there for half an hour and my name was called. The officer went through the application and asked the civic test questions. Upon approval, she told me I am placed in line for the oath ceremony. I was told that the one in July might be full now so I will need to wait for the August one. So close to the finish line and wish everyone good luck!

Congratulations. I thought of you last night and came on here hoping to get an update from you and here it is. Thank you for the traffic heads up. Mine is tomorrow.

Got e-mail yesterday that my wife's interview has been scheduled and the letter is on it's way. This is the day after I contacted my representative and both senators in Nevada bringing up the case back log in Las Vegas. Don't know if there is a connection. I will post a reply when I find out the date. A big load off of my mind as we will now be free to make travel plans.

I had my interview today and went with my 17 mth old who kept interrupting us. Waited for about 15 mins total - 5 mins past my appointment time. She was a pleasant lady, made some comments about the new computer system and was totally gracious about my little chatterbox. 

First she took my biometrics, I swore the oath and then took the civic test. My 6 questions were:

1. What is freedom of religion

2. How many senators do we have

3. When was the constitution written

4. Name one country that borders Canada

5. At what age do men sign up for selective service

6. What ocean is on the east coast of the United States 

For reading and writing I read “who is on the dollar bill” and wrote the answer given by the IO “Washington is on the dollar bill”. 

She scanned all my answers into the computer and  then went through the yes or no questions, correcting a few errors. I signed on the iPad set up in front of me in two places - 1 for the corrections and another agreeing to take the oath of allegiance and that was it. 

I was told my oath taking will be in a month if not before. I asked why no same day oath-taking ceremonies and she explained that Wisconsin does only judicial ceremonies and the court likes to receive the names of Bose attending ahead of time in order to prepare. 

I was done in 20 mins and my profile updated on the egov site twice immediately saying my application was recommended for approval and then another saying “oath ceremony will be scheduled” 10 mins later. myuscis has no update yet. I expect that will happen tomorrow. I’m so happy to have passed the interview and be near the end.

Thank you.

No I didn’t. I got a permanent green card in 2015 because by that time we had been married for almost 3 yrs.

That's Great! thanks for letting us know, I think I will try to do the same since I haven't heard anything at all since last year, even my Green Card ROC has been transferred to NBC and will be processed with N400. Just tired of waiting
