I just passed my interview in Newark, am now waiting for the oath ceremony.

 

The IO said the oath doesn’t have scheduled times, they wait until approx. 30 people are ready and then call them in.

History and government:

Name one US territory

What Ocean is on the west coast of the United States

Who was President during Great Depression and WWII

We elect a Senator for how many years?

What is the Capitol of the United States?

Who is the Vice President now?

 

Reading: Who was George Washington

Writing: Washington was the first President

 

the above is all freely written, don’t hold me accountable for exact words 😅 The questions were asked exactly how they are written in the study materials.

Passport, drivers license, greencard. That greencard I never saw again 🤣 I filed online and had everything uploaded (tax transcript etc) maybe that’s why they didn’t ask. I had everything with me lol

Newark is poppin, actually. There’s a Facebook group with N-400 filers (I think I linked it some pages back) and many are getting interviews. I was there on 4/20 and there were approx 30 people for Oath every 2-2.5 hrs I would say

Thanks, that definitely sounds encouraging.

Got the interview today and was approved (technically "Recommended for approval").

 

Seems like the IT systems were experiencing issues and abnormally slow. I was scheduled for 10:30am but was only called at 12:45pm. Each interview took so long because the systems were slow.

 

As a result, no one approved today got the same day oath and everyone was sent home.

 

I am waiting for the Oath Ceremony Scheduling Letter.

 

Otherwise, interview went fine. My questions were:

1. Under our Constitution, some powers belong to the states. What is one power of the states?

2. We elect a U.S. Representative for how many years?

3. Who was the President under World War I?

4. We elect a President for how many years?

5. If the President can no longer serve, who becomes the President?

6. Name one state that borders Mexico.

 

Reading portion: read out loud "Where does Congress meet?"

 

Writing portion: write on the screen "The People elect the Congress"

 

Towards the end of the review of my N-400 Application Form when discussing taking the Oath and swear to defend the Constitution, she asked "you know what the Constitution is?". I replied "Yes" so she asked me "What is it?". I said "It's the supreme law of the land". And then, about taking the Oath, she asked if I knew what this meant. When I said yes, she asked what it means then, to which I replied "to be loyal to the United States". She seemed satisfied with my answers, but I was taken a bit off-guard.

I am now waiting to see the Oath Ceremony Letter to post in myaccount.uscis.gov.

Newark Field Office, 15th Floor

Everyone in the waiting room was called by a Case Officer from Door 1 or Door 2 behind the check-in counters to go into the offices behind.

 

For some reasons, I was the only one called by a Case Officer on the 16th Floor and had to take the elevator with her to her tiny/messy office with papers & stuff everywhere. She was polite and professional, except when she reviewed my application and said "Are you married?". I said yes so she was like "Then why did you put 0 for the question how many times were you married?". I said I was not married before, so she said I needed to include my current marriage and reply "1", so she corrected it.

 

When I signed on the screen my application, I had to review the changes she made.
