Hello all, finally my Naturalization interview is done and the office was kind enough to offer same day Oath. Baltimore office.

 

I went in around 6:45 AM as my scheduled time was at 7 AM. I checked in and waited for around 20 mins and officer called my name.

 

Officer took me to the interview room asked my personal details, my eligibility for citizenship etc and proceeded to the Civics test.

Questions asked were:

1. What are two cabinet level positions?

2. What age can citizens vote?

3. What are the first three words of constitution?

4. Why does the flag have 50 stars?

5. Who makes Laws?

6. What month do we vote for the President?

 

Once these were answered correctly, we proceeded with Reading test; Officer asked me to read "Where is the White House located?" I read it.

For Writing, Officer read out; "White House is located in Washington DC".

 

Once this was done, Officer proceeded with the N-400 form with all answers. Change of address, what my job is, my job changes, wife's job and all basic yes/no questions.

Once these were done, Officer told I've passed tests and have been recommended for Approval and scheduled to offer same day Oath which I accepted. 

 

I finished the Oath ceremony was done in 2 hours and now Im finally a US citizen. Hope this helps everyone and I will also upload a Youtube channel (Offbeat Travel) about my experience. Do watch, subscribe, like and help others going through this journey. (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCB-xVdlu1kXkSezGPXvxPw)

You made it :), Congratulations !

The notice has my old address, when my new address had been added/updated in October. Did not get any email or text notifications... My case status is still showing old info... So if I would not redirect my physical mail to the new address and would never check my USCIS account->Documents tab, I would have never known that I got this notice or, let's say, would have got an interview notice... So I would recommend everyone to check their account-> Documents tab every other day to avoid potential issues.
