I just had my interview today. It was quick! My interviewer's computer is somehow having some issues so I have to come back again tomorrow for another picture and finger print. The website is now updated with the status of Oath Ceremony Will be Scheduled!

 

Atlanta is fast indeed!

That`s awesome, Congrats!


Can you tell us about how the interview was and what questions were asked? Did you file for 3 year or 5 year rule.

 

Thanks.

I have Interview on the 11 , applied middle of September. I wonder how long  would I have to wait for oath.. traveling outside the country on March 5th 😕

Difficult to predict interview date, but many had their Oath Ceremony 2-3 weeks after the interview. At any rate, you can inform your interviewing officer with your travel dates, and they typically accommodate you and take your travel in consideration when scheduling the Oath Ceremony date. We had also travel plan and the interviewing officer was very understanding. Do not worry.

Thanks.

@lucardo3 Sure thing!


1. The first question was what do you promise to do when you become a citizen?

2. How many justices are there?
3. Name 2 rights or freedom in the first amendment. 

 

I am sure there were more questions. I can’t seem to remember it 🤔. He was going so fast but I know I didn’t get any of it wrong. He laughed and asked me if I was sure I didn’t study. (I told him I was nervous when we were walking to the interview room). 
 

Next he told me to read the sentence ‘who can vote?’ on a tablet. And then told me the answer and asked me to write it on a tablet with my fingers. 
 

He then asked a bunch of questions really quickly (if you killed anybody, ever been to prison, same question in the form). Then he printed out an approved/congratulations letter 😁

 

I brought with me the interview letter, my gc, passport, driver’s license and the original copy of all documents that I provided during form submission. He only looked at my gc, driver’s license and passport and did not bother looking at the other original supporting documents. 

 

I applied on the basis of 3 year marriage. It would have been 5 years if I waited to apply in October. 

 

The interviewer was very nice and friendly and he somehow had a switch and became Very serious and had a piercing eye while doing the interview - most likely doing his job :)

 

To add:

My interview time was at 8AM. But due to traffic (as we all know and love about Atlanta and our favorite 400) I left early to avoid traffic. I got there at 630AM and was allowed in (they were open). The interview took about 7 minutes or so.

Gah. So I was minding my own business and tried to make it a BAU (business as usual) day, remind myself that I should not check the USCIS website every hour or so 🤣. BUT suddenly I got a text message and email saying that they have emailed me my oath ceremony date! 

 

Can't see the actual date yet but I will refresh the USCIS website ever so often now to see the date :P

 

PS: can you tell how excited I am?

The website did say that it will appear in the documents tab but will be visible in a few days - hence the constant checking! Interview was on Feb 04 2020. I have all details in my signature 😊
