Hi everybody. Hope you're doing okay this week. Sending good energy to everybody who needs it right now. 

 

I just wanted to briefly jump on to say that I had my interview yesterday with same-day oath in San Diego. Interview was easy, I was in and out in 10 min (breakdown below). 

 

9:00 - Arrived at USCIS office (NOTE: there was a LONG security line, apparently Wednesdays are especially busy in SD; so prepare accordingly)

9:20 - Scheduled interview time

9:55 - called in, done at 10:05, and went straight to the oath ceremony room. Unfortunately, there were some technical difficulties and we had to wait a while. Had my certificate in hand at around 12pm

 

Interview was very straight forward; started by being sworn in, then civics test, language test, and then going over my N400 application. 

 

Good luck to everybody still waiting and prepping for the interview! You got this!

Thanks! Yes, my partner could be with me in the waiting area and for the oath ceremony. Just not the actual interview.

I had my interview today and just wanted to share my experience with everyone. 

My interview was scheduled for 8:15. At about 8:30 the officer called me in for the interview. My husband and I were both allowed to be present.

The officer did the civics and English test first which I passed. She then reviewed my application to make sure all the information was accurate. I realized I had forgotten to mention one of my jobs, but she simply made a note of it. She also added a couple of dates since I had traveled abroad twice since submitting my application.

Some questions she asked were if my husband and I want to have kids, if we plan to buy a house, if we owe any taxes and at the end, she asked why I want to become a US citizen. 

If you interview in Denver: they have same-day naturalization available daily till the election!!!

I was so happy when she told me I could naturalize the same day, the ceremony was at 10 AM so I only had to wait one hour for it. They are doing same-day ceremonies till the election so people can go ahead and vote. The ceremony was small but beautiful. 

As soon as we left, I went ahead and registered to vote, and I also went to USPS and applied for my passport and passport card. 

 

Overall the interview vibe was relaxed, the officer joked a few times and we had a lot of casual conversation. This is by far the easiest interview I had in my entire immigration journey. 

Congratulations!! 

 

If you don’t mind sharing…how did you answer their question about why you want to become a US citizen?

I don’t mind at all. I told her i wanted to use the US citizen lane when coming back in the country, so my husband and I can use the citizens lane which moves faster. I also told her I thought it would be easier for me in my career to be a US citizen. And lastly I told her I want to be able to vote so my opinion can matter and make a difference.

Nothing yet, but I don't expect to hear back for a while because I applied exactly 90 days before my 5 year anniversary. Hope you hear back soon!

Hey friend, any luck on your interview date ?

Yes. That’s me. I and my wife applied on the 8/8/2024 with a couple of hours difference. She got her interview notice within 5 days and my application has no updates after that. 

Hello friend, any news on your end ? Got an interview scheduled ?
