She also asked about my signature and said what does it mean. My signature is in English but looks so unique and I explained it to her what do each alphabet mean and represent in my signature Lollzzzz. I was not expecting that type of question by an IO but I was asked before by my friends and co-workers. One thing she also pointed out in my bank statement that I buy things at a particular store which amazed me. I said I buy things from that store because of that store's origin somehow similar to my culture. Overall, the questions I was asked, most of the questions surprised me. 

 

i would be interested in seeing how your unique signature looks like :D

I can understand her digging into differences of religion (most religions being very exclusive of each other), but the other questions are indeed surprising. I was pretty sure they never actually looked at particular items on the bank statements, but apparently they do!

Hi folks, could someone please add me back to the list? I think I got dropped off in the google docs removal. I put "N/A" for check cashed date, as I applied successfully for the N-400 fee waiver.

Thank you! :)

Good evening,  I had my joint ROC and N-400 interview today. I passed the N-400 test. The IO didn't interview my wife and called me for the interview. We were expecting they will interview both of us together since we have a pending I-751. The IO only interviewed me and my wife was waiting outside. I reminded the officer a few times that I have also a pending I-751 so my wife is with me. The IO didn't care so I realized they are only interested in me but the officer was aware of the whole situation. The first part was the civics test and then the IO moved to the ROC part of the interview. I was asked how met?  my job and my school. The IO also asked me questions regarding my wife's job and what things we do for fun. I also brought ongoing evidence of our relationship and they officer took most of them. I recommend it to everyone to bring a more ongoing relationship paperwork to the interview if you have filed for N-400 with a pending I-751. Thanks for everyone's support and reading my post. I am praying for everyone and myself for a smooth rest of the immigration journey. Since I have a pending ROC so they will approve it first before they approve my N-400. It is another waiting game now o Boy!  :clock:

I had my interview Today, It was a nightmare getting there TRAFFIC!! and sloooow drivers,
My interview was 11:20, I arrived at 11:13, got sat down, then I had to go to the Loo, 11:18 while i was at the Loo they called my name, the husband said I had just nipped to the Bathroom.
when I got back I was called again a minute later,

I went into the interview room, 2 men were in there, one was conducting the interview the other was sitting in, I think he was a senior member of staff, Can't remember the Questions, but I got the first6 correct so he stopped
I had to read "When is Flag day?"
Then write "Flag day is in June"

The other man thought it was amusing, as I'm English, so, therefore, could speak, read & write English!, 
He looked through my Passport to check dates of Travel
asked me questions from my application, we chatted about the online filing, I said how great it was, the guy not interviewing told me about how and why they came up with it, I think he said it was modelled on Sweden's system.
I was then Congratulated by Both men, and The interviewer told me my Oath would be within 30 days, and I could get my Passport the same day, as it's right across the street from the Court.
It was all done so fast, less than 30 minutes from walking in the door, to walking out of the door!

Congratulations xx

Yeah, that's right. I am feeling relieved that the interview is over. The IO acknowledged that I have put the effort into sending them those documents. Now I am waiting very impatiently :clock:

Yay, congratulations!! So happy for you! Though it sounds like they asked you some pretty strange questions. But it's all over now and you can put it behind you. Looking forward to reading about your approval notifications soon!

According to your predictions and calculations, when do you think you'll hear back?

Thanks a lot, my friend :) I appreciate your kind words. You are spot on. I am relieved that the monkey is off my back now and I just have to wait for those striking texts and notifications. My prediction is that I will hear from them in 7 days, 18 days or one month. If I don't hear from them in my predicted days I will schedule an infopass and inquire what's going on with my case. Regards

@Name O Boy just curious, if you don't mind sharing - what country are you originally from? And did you come via K1/spouse visa, or other?

No worries, my bad. I am sorry I just didn't fill out my timeline completely. I was not aware of VJ until last year March. When I made a VJ account last year I thought I will rarely use it so I didn't put any efforts in providing meaningful timeline information. I made some changes to my timeline which will give you more information. Just a quick question. Did you receive your N-400 approval notice? and when did you get it? I mean mail notice. Regards

You know, I was expecting an approval notice too, but I only got one (on nice thick official paper) for ROC, followed by the actual GC. The only paper I got for N400 was the oath ceremony notice. I'm ok with that though :D

Ah alright. Who needs it anyway :lol: You already have the oath letter. I am praying they schedule my oath before my school starts next month.  I just wish Portland had same day oath ceremony for those with a pending I-751. Where is your oath ceremony? isn't that administrative oath ceremony?

Ah alright. Who needs it anyway :lol: You already have the oath letter. I am praying they schedule my oath before my school starts next month.  I just wish Portland had same day oath ceremony for those with a pending I-751. Where is your oath ceremony? isn't that administrative oath ceremony?  

yes, the ones done at USCIS office are administrative, and that's where it is. 

They blame the new system for the ROC approvals taking some time, but I think it's just an unusual situation to have a combo interview and they aren't sure how to handle it. 

If you don't see any movement in a couple weeks, schedule an infopass appointment, that ensures that they look at your file. It worked for me both 3 years ago at AOS and now at N400.
