OMG. Just got a letter for my interview!! It is on March 18.

 

Any tips and suggestions? 

 

I am so excited! 

Make sure you bring all the documents they asked to bring, also along with that get few latest evidence such as 2-3 months bank statement/utility bill if it is marriage based application.

Prepare civics test and most importantly be relaxed.

i was very tensed but the interview process was very easy and chilled.

Hi All 

 

I had my interview today!

 

I arrived 30 mins before my interview but I just hang out in my car because the instructions said not to arrive 15 mins prior to the interview. 

 

I walked in and the security screened me for Covid (5 questions you have to answer). Then, I placed all my belongings in the bin. I had to take off my shoes, belt and watch. Just like airline security check. They want to ensure you don't bring any firearms. 

 

Then, I needed to go to a room where someone checked me in. They also checked my temperature because of Covid. Then you take the elevator to the second floor and sit in the waiting room until they call your name. Before you enter your interview you need to switch off your phone. 

 

I waited maybe 10 mins and I was called in. The officer was nice and asked me how I was doing. He ensured my phone was off. Then, he asked me if my husband came with me. (I have marriage based application). I got really surprised because my instructions didn't say that my spouse needs to come with me. So I asked him 'Was my husband supposed to attend too?' he answred 'No, but sometimes for marriage based applications they require the sposue to be here, but there is enough evidence in the file'. 

 

We went into his office and started off with the test. He asked me six questions that I answered correctly,therefore didn't proceed with more questions. I was asked: 

 

- who is the vice president of the us

- how many years do we select us senator for

- what promise do you make when you become us citizen

- what's stops the government from becoming to powerful

- what is one right reserved only for us citizens 

 

I can't remember the last question. 

 

Then I had to read the sentence: Who lives in the White House? 

 

And write the sentence that he read to me: The President lives in the White House. 

 

Then, we went over my information (my name, physical address etc. Etc.). One of the question was if I have any biological children. Since I applied, my daughter was born in November 2020 so he congratulated me and asked if I brought her birth certificate. I did, he looked at it, added the note to the file that he has seen it and gave it back to me. Then I had to answer the questions from the application such as: did you ever claim to be us citizen etc. After that, he congratulated me that I passed my test and he is approving me for citizenship. He printed out the document saying that I passed. On the touch screen I had to confirm my details and the information about my daughter. Then, he said that we are going to wait for my background check. 

 

He mentioned that he is waiting for the call because previous person had old photo and had to send them to take new one and they would be coming back. After that, he proceeded with the Oath in his office. in the middle of the oath the phone rung and he answered it! So we were both standing there with our right hand up while he was taking a phone call. I was pretty upset about it. Seriously, this is a big deal and we got interrupted like that? I wouldn't mind that if that would happen during any other part of the interview. Anyway, he apologized and said that he shouldn't have done it during the oath! No !! I didn't say anything,because honestly what's the point? We continued. Then, he said that he is still waiting on the last part of the background check and since it is slow, I just need to wait. So after few minutes,he gave me back my green card and took me to the waiting room. He said to remind him to give the green card back once he brings my citizenship certificate. 

 

And then the ####### has started. I was sitting in the waiting room for over an hour and he was not coming back. In the meantime, other officers were sending people home and telling them that the security background check system is down and they would mail them invitation for the oath ceremony. I was getting really frustrated. After an hour, my officer came out to grab another person for the interview. Then, he asked me if I need to leave. I told him that I do, because I live couple of hours away and we already came last night and stayed in the hotel to be here first thing in the morning. He said that he will come back after that interview and figure something out. So, after that he came and asked me what is the latest I need to leave Denver and I told him 2 pm. He asked me for my phone number and said to go do my thing and that he would call me when it's ready. At that point he asked me to give back the green card which I wasn't too sure about it, but he said I can't keep it because I am already a citizen. I went back to a hotel room, packed my stuff and left to run errand and then he called me. That was about 1.5 h later at 12.30 pm. He asked me how soon I can be there and I said ten minutes. Asked me what car I am driving. When I arrived in front of the building, he was already waiting outside. Came up to the car, handed me paperwork and explained everything. 

 

Crazy!!

 

So glad to be done! Good luck to everyone. Trust the system.

 

Ps: I have flashcards for civic test. They are really nice. I got them at  imigration event. I am happy to mail it to someone if you are willing to pay for shipping. I can't imagine it would cost much. Let me know!
