Hi everyone, I had my interview today at the Chicago FO. I arrived 20 mins early and it was not very crowded. I waited about an hour to be called up. The IO was professional. No small talk and got straight to the interview but she was nice. I applied under the 5-yr rule and got a green card through my mother who is a US citizen. I took my residential lease and my tax transcripts, driver's license, passport and GC. 

 

She asked to see 5 years worth of my IRS tax transcripts before recommending for approval so I am happy I uploaded to the portal and also took it to the interview. The questions I was asked (got all 6 right so we moved on): 

  1. What are the two major political parties in the United States?
  2. Who lived in America before the Europeans arrived?
  3. What is the name of the Vice President of the United States now?
  4. How many amendments does the Constitution have?
  5. When was the Declaration of Independence adopted?
  6. I forget the 6th question! 

She had me read a sentence off the tablet and then had me write "Mexico is south of the United States" on a tablet. She asked me the yes/no questions and confirmed the name change on my application. She told me she will recommend me for approval, and that now my case is going to final quality review. If everything looks good, they will schedule and oath and I should be notified of the location for the judicial oath within 6 weeks. 

 

Back in 2022 my N-400 got denied because my Green Card printed the wrong residence since date and so I applied too early. She asked me a little bit about this denial and said I should have gotten my money back since it wasn't my fault. I said I cut my losses on that one because the IO during my denial told me I would not get they money back even though it wasn't my fault. Overall, I was in and out of there within 20 minutes or so! As soon as I left I got an update on the portal. 

 

 

Is it normal for it to say: "Your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, was placed in line for oath ceremony scheduling." and then after that say "Case Was Submitted For Quality Review Based On An Approval Recommendation" because I would think it's the other way around?? Can anyone weigh in on this?

Feb 17th. Rather weird to not see interview scheduled.

 

I’m really hoping he gets scheduled for the July 4th oath ceremony at Seattle Center though - it’s a big event and the photos look awesome.

Congrats!! How was the interview? Mine is tomorrow also in San Antonio, fingers crossed!

 

Also did you get your oath scheduled for Austin or San Antonio? I'm hoping I don't have to make the drive a second time!
