Hey everyone! My husband passed his interview today!!! 

Started with reading a question...What does a U.S. senator represent?

Then had to write the response...All the people of the state.

 

He answered 6 questions correctly, so he didn't have to do anymore.

He was super nervous and when he's nervous it's hard for him to understand English especially when someone has a different accent lol

But  he just remembers she asked:
What is the Emancipation Proclamation?

Who is the Father of our country?

How many U.S. senators are there?

What are the requirements to vote in a federal election?

 

She asked a lot of other questions like current address, addresses of his past jobs, where I worked, if I was ever divorced/married (my son is from a previous relationship), if he was ever divorced/married. She also asked questions based off of the actual application, like race/ethnicity, and she was questioning if he was the one that filled out the application.

 

His oath ceremony was scheduled for later on this afternoon so I will update you all after that as well.

 

I hope this helps and good luck to everyone else!!

His oath ceremony was at the same location as his interview, our local USCIS office, they have a ceremony room. There were 22 total that were becoming citizens, from 15 different countries. We weren't expecting it, but it was pretty emotional! So glad we've made it through this journey. Thanks to the Visa Journey community for getting us through this entire process!!!

Hi everybody !!!

 

Today was my big day. The interview went really well. I wasn’t expecting to be so fast.

 

I went to the check in area and they gave me a ticket. I was called almost immediately to review my application and check my information. After that I was called for the civic test and the reading and writing part.

 

I only remember 5 of the six questions

 

1.- What are two rights in the Declaration of Independence ?

2.- How many US senators are there?

3.- What is the highest court in the United States ?

4.- What ocean is on the east coast of the United States?

5.- What ocean is on the west coast of the United States?

 

Then I waited almost for an hour to be call to the interview. After all, it went really well. I was recommended for approval and after a few minutes waiting they gave me my ceremony day.

 

My oath will be on September 19th.

 

Thank you very much everyone of you for the help, the advices and to share your experience.

So, I had the interview today. The experience was very good. I was applying under the 3-year rule and my wife and 10 month old son accompanied me to the interview. The interview took total of 15 minutes or so. The officer asked for my passport, green card and DL to verify identity. Then he started with the civics questions which I knew all of them and he only asked six. 

Then he moved on to the Yes and No questions from the application and asked me if I needed to change any of the info which I had to add to my travel history. After that, he approved the application on the spot and my status online changed to in line to be scheduled for Oath Ceremony. 

It is interesting that I had a lot of documentation with me regarding my marriage but he did not look at any of them. I specifically asked if he wanted to see them, but he said he had already approved the application under the assumption that I am living with my US citizen spouse and whatever happens after the Oath Ceremony is not his concern. I imagine it was because my wife and son were accompanying me in the waiting area. 

All in all, a very good experience and I will keep you posted about the oath ceremony date.
