N-400 Newark/Mt Laurel New Jersey

[Ben & Katie 13]

Approved for citizenship today. Same day oath ceremony was nice, 7 hours of waiting wasn't. My interview was only 15 mins and the interviewer was very direct but professional. No pleasantries were exchanged but they were incredibly busy so I can understand the need to get through all the applicants. My interview was at 8:15am in Newark, I didn't need to submit any additional support or passport photos, just presented my greencard, passport and drivers license. Test consisted of:

 

1. Which group were brought to the US as slaves?
2. Who is the VP?
3 Number of amendments to the Constitution?
4. Who creates laws?
5. Why did we fight the British?
6. What is the highest court?

Read: What was the first state?
Write: Delaware was the first state.

Asked yes/no questions and signed forms on an iPad.

 

The ceremony was very nice, introduction from the USCIS staff, stood for the national anthem, then we watched a video, called out each country and applicants from that country stood up (38 total in my ceremony), said the oath of allegiance (right hand in the air), welcome video from the President, said the pledge of allegiance (right hand over heart), concluded and took photos. Overall, an exhausting day but well worth it and very special. Best of luck to my fellow NJ filers..I'm done!

The ceremony was very nice, introduction from the USCIS staff, stood for the national anthem, then we watched a video, called out each country and applicants from that country stood up (38 total in my ceremony), said the oath of allegiance (right hand in the air), welcome video from the President, said the pledge of allegiance (right hand over heart), concluded and took photos. Overall, an exhausting day but well worth it and very special. Best of luck to my fellow NJ filers..I'm done!

congrats!!!!!!!!

Hello, last July 2017 my journey to become citizenship started, everything seemed to be going well - had my interview Jan 2nd week but 2 days ago online status got updated to "Request for Initial evidence was mailed". My interview officer in NJ was very nice, i answered all the questions and it was over in 15mins to 20mins. No documents were asked except GC, passport & drivers license.

She said everything looks ok but she cannot make the decision right away but i did pass the interview.

I am waiting for the RFE letter to see what documents they are asking but just wondering to see if anyone else is in the same situation. My GC 10 years is expiring this Aug so bit nervous on how long this RFE could delay etc.

 

Filing date: July 2017

Interview date: Jan 2018
