Arrived 15 mins before interview time - completed my security check - checked in with front desk and waited for my turn to be called.

In 10 mins, the USCIS immig officer opened the door and called my name, and took me back to her office. She was very kind and understanding, I did not feel stressed at all.

She requested my state ID and greencard. and started to explain how the process is going to be.

After verifying my name - she began with Civics questions:

  1. Two departments of govt

  2. Speaker of the house

  3. Right of anyone living in US

  4. Name of US president

  5. Statue of Liberty in?

  6. What do we call the first ten amendments to the Constitution?

  7. In what month do we vote for President? 8)What is one responsibility that is only for United States citizens?

  8. What do we show loyalty to when we say the Pledge of Allegiance?

  9. What is the capital of the United States?

Got 9/10.

Reading - where is the white house located?

writing - The White house is located in Washington DC

After the interview- Got the response - decision can’t be made. (Some get approved right after the interview- mine wasn’t- I got a paper that said decision can’t be made now- and they will contact in the coming days with the decision. I was approved in 32 days.- I believe it was because my immigration officer needed supervisor approval)

She should have stopped after you got 6 correct or 5 wrong.

Congratulations!!!!!

Sounds like a new officer interviewed you.  I'm not sure why she asked you so many citizenship questions.  There was no reason to ask 10 questions.

Congratulations!

 

Sometimes not knowing can be a blessing, if I was asked 10 questions I'd assumed I got too many wrong and I'd be super nervous about it.

I had a young officer interview me and she too asked me 10 questions even though I passed all of them, didn't stop at 6. Not that it matters, you know all the answers anyway. Congrats!
