MY INTERVIEW APRIL 16 EXPERIENCE

 

Hi guys! I just want to share my interview experience yesterday and hopefully it helps in you preparation in your upcoming interview! Good luck! ;)

 

My interview was scheduled at 8:00am, I arrived 25 mins early. I was checked in and called by the officer around 7:50am. 

Documents I brought with me

- Interview Letter

- Green Card/ Driver's License

- Passport (expired and renewed)

- Husband's birth cert & passport

- Updated form of recent travels

- Marriage certificate

- IRS we filled joint

I  brought the original &photocopied them as well

 

Documents that the officer asked

- Interview Letter

- Green Card/ Driver's License

- IRS tax that we filled joint

 

I started with the English test and just have to read 1 sentence and then write the sentence he asked me to write. That was it! I then proceed to the CIVIC questions. They gave me this red booklet about the 100 questions to study for Naturalization when I did my biometrics. Everything is on the booklet.  The officer probably asked me 10 questions total. Like how many supreme court justice? What does declaration of the independence entails? Give me one branch of the government? etc. I got them all right. Then we proceed to the next part of the interview...

 

So, Its kinda like adjustment of status interview but w/o my husband. lol. I was asked about our relationship. Me and my husband are together for 4 years and no kids yet. He asked me like maybe 5 times if I have kids. I said "we don't have kids" and I" don't have kids". So he asked for more evidence. Health insurance, bank accounts, life insurance etc. But I didn't bring any with me. Luckily I brought the IRS tax we filled joint 2014-2016  with me so I gave it to him. So that kinda stopped him and then he write notes in his computer. I was then asked about the yes or no questions in the N-400 form that we filled up and questions about pledging loyalty to the United States. I also wanted to point out that the officer also asked me if I have arrested or had any traffic violations. So I kinda paused :blink: because I just had a recent one, its obstruction of control/vision. From holding my phone! lol. Anyway I told him that I went to court and pay the fees so I wont get the points. Its my 1st ever ticket. So he put that in his computer again. Kinda freak me out because I thought its gonna be the only reason that I wont be approved. The officer is nice and professional. After that, I was asked to review infos he typed in his computer in this IPAD and signed couple pages. And then he told me Congratulations! I will send recommendation in your case for approval ! He congratulate me 3 times. Yeyyy!!:D

 

I just checked my status online when I woke up today and it says 

 

We approved your application

Your final step to becoming a citizen is to attend your naturalization ceremony

We will mail you a letter when we schedule your naturalization ceremony.

 

I'm over the moon. I'm gonna kissed the USCIS good bye soon. Over all it was a smooth process. Our field office here is very organize and not so busy. I wont be able to complete this journey w/o my VisaJourney family my no.1 source of information  . 

Let me know guys if you have more questions. Good luck to everyone!!! :) :) :)

Had my oath and applied for passport already. It's a wonderful feeling to be over with it. Sometimes I can't believe I'm done with USCIS for good!
