Had my interview this morning in Minneapolis. Not a combo interview as my RoC was resolved in 2022 but brought my wife anyway. Arrived there about 30 min before the scheduled time. Took just a couple of min to get through the security, few more min to check in at the front desk and waited in the lobby for maybe 15 min. My ticket number was called exactly on my scheduled time. The officer was serious but friendly, I guess, as I found out after the interview he loves my home country for its beautiful landscape, etc. Anyway, he swore me in and asked 6 questions:

- One of 4 amendments on voting (18 or older, no $ to vote, women can vote, all race can vote)

- President during WW2

- No. of supreme court justices

- No. of senators

- How many years we elect president for

- One of the 2 longest river

 

He asked me to say out loud ' Who can vote?' and write 'Citizens can vote.' on the tablet.

 

Then some yes/no questions from the application followed by where do I live, with whom, where I got married, where I work. Then one final round of yes/no questions from the application. That was it!

 

I asked him if I passed and he said the software will tell us after confirming some personal information (address, name change, etc). The paper printed saying I passed and have been recommended for citizenship. I then asked about oath ceremonies and he said to wait for a letter in the mail and not to have travel plans for the next couple of weeks.

 

I came home to check the status update and found two updates:

 

Status	Date
Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled	January 20, 2023
We recommended that your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, be approved. Your case was submitted for quality review.	January 20, 2023

 

I guess barring something crazy, I will take my oath soon and this long journey will be over.

 

Those who are still waiting, good luck!! Shouldn't be too long for you.

Photocopies and originals of passports, birth certificates, green cards, etc. I did not take copies of documents I had already submitted. I did however take new copies of documents representing finances (bank statements, mortgage, etc).

 

Good luck! You will be fine.

Update on the oath ceremony. There were 1000 plus people being naturalized today in St Paul, MN. They made us wait almost 1.5 hours before the actual ceremony took place but no complaints really, just glad to be done.

 

Also an interesting story. They had us sit in random aisles and rows, in other words in random spots. Though at the end, distributed our certificates without any issues so I am pretty certain they used facial recognition to figure out who was sitting where. I had a mask on the whole time yet they still figured out where I was. Black magic! Gotta be facial recognition, right? The invitation letter indicated no aisle, row information. Wild.

 

Anyway, glad that this journey is over. I am applying for passport tomorrow and updating SSN card maybe in the next few weeks.

 

Good luck to you if you're waiting. Your turn will come soon!
