My wife and I had our Citizenship interviews yesterday at Javits Federal Building NYC. Everything went smooth. We were both approved.

 

We both had our interviews with different Immigration Officers.

 

My appointment was at 11:50. Was called in around 12:10 and I came out by 12:30. The process was straight forward. First the civics test then the english reading and writing test. And then went over N400. She mentioned that some of the yes/No questions were not answered on the form and took the answers for them. She asked about the 2 weeks of  unemployment I had mentioned in the N400 form. I told her that was when I moved to NY from my old Job and I took a couple of weeks off. She said that I didn't need to mention this as unemployment on the form and she removed it from my application as she said it isn't needed. She asked me if I had my tax forms with me. I told her yes and gave her the copies. She asked if she could keep the copies and I said yes. She they said I passed the test and she is recommending me for approval.
 

My wifes interview was at 1. She was called in around 12:45 and she came out by 1. She had a straight forward interview too. First the civics test then the english reading and writing test. And then went over N400 form. And then in the end the officer told my wife that she passed the test and that he is recommending her for approval.

I checked our application status online yesterday night and the status had changed to "Approved" with some text about the last step is the Naturalization Ceremony and we'll be notified when they have scheduled our ceremonies.

I wish everyone waiting for the interviews all the best!
  

I live in Rockland County, NY and just found out that they have naturalization ceremonies once every two months. The next ceremony is in Apr. If we don't get our ceremonies scheduled for Apr,  it'll be in June. And if that is the case, we'll have to reschedule it for the one in August as we'll be out of town in June.

When they went over your application what did they ask?

Do they go into very much detail or just check and see all info is correct?

Hello guys,

 

Wife just had her interview today and she passed.

I just checked and they updated saying, "We approved your application". 

 

Below were the questions asked:

 

1) Who's the governor of your state?

2) Name one of your senators?

3) Name your representative?

4) What ocean is on the west coast of the U.S.?

5) Who is the father of our country?

6) What happened on September 11, 2001 in the United States? 

 

Forgot what the reading was, but the writing portion she was told to write was, "We pay taxes". Then they reviewed the application and corrected one thing and that was it!

 

The interview was in the Chicago Field Office @ 8:30 AM, but we arrived early and they took her in @ 8:00 AM and were done by @ 8:17 AM. Due to early morning appointment we rented a hotel and it was about 3 blocks away from the appointment location. 

 

I hope and pray we get the Oat Ceremony letter soon, and be completely done with USCIS, lol.
