Meet your newest US Citizen :) 

 

So this is a TL of events that took place today, I like details so I am going to try and be as detailed as possible..

 

- my interview was supposed to be at 8:10am

- got there at 7:55am had to wait 5mins for them to open the doors

- 8:40 am my interviewer called my name

  • I swore in, she asked for my green card
  • she took my fingerprints (left and right index finger)
  • then she made me answer questions from application (full name, DOB, spouse full name, spouse DOB, address, date of marriage, when did you become a permanent resident, places you’ve traveled outside the US ((this made me super nervous because I did not remember the exact dates)), where do you work, places you’ve lived and so on..
  • then she moved on to the yes or no questions from my application (have you ever committed a crime? been a habitual drunkard...)

- Then she started with the test, no warning what so ever, my questions were:

  • what does the president cabinet do 
  • who is in charge of the executive branch 
  • what is the name of the vice president 
  • what is the economic system of the United States
  • who is the commander and chief of the military
  • what did the declaration of independence do?

- read: who was George Washington 

- write: Washington was the first president 

 

- then I had to sign the tablet twice saying that everything is true & check that all my information was correct

- she gave me a sheet saying she was recommending me for approval (YAY)

- she then asked if I wanted to be scheduled for the oath ceremony in August or September or I could do it today, I opted to do it today of course!! so she asked me to have a seat in the waiting room by that time it was 8:57am.

 

9:05 am - while waiting my status changed online to "case was submitted for quality review based on an approval recommendation"

 

9:20am - I was called to the counter, she took my green card and asked questions about "since your interview have you committed any crimes, got divorced, traveled outside the country and so on..."  the officer was like you haven't done any of these things in the last ten minutes? we both laughed

  •  I completed my oath ceremony, was given my certificate, a mini flag and a package :)  before I got to my car my status changed online to "certificate of naturalization was issued"

 

All in all I am so happy to be done with this process. Good luck to everyone. If anyone has any questions let me know.

Congratulation  !! so so happy for you !

 I added to the file the NOA date, I think its important to  know after your bio, how long it takes to hear about your interview date.

Thank you for doing that Shearar. I agree - that is very helpful information!

Hello everyone, so update from me. Not as exciting as @JBoogie876 but I was approved on the spot as well. The whole thing was nice and easy enough, nothing different from other interviews. Now I just wait for the letter to inform me about my oath date.

YAAAAAAAAAAY! Congratulations NinaG! I hope you get your oath date soon - almost there! Glad to hear your interview went well:-D
