I had my naturalization interview today. Everything went very well. My husband had to be there with me because my 1751 is still pending. The officer just asked some general questions on my application to make sure everything was still current. She asked to see some proof of joint resindency and of our life together. Then she asked 3 / 4 questions about our relationship and then we moved onto the test. I was asked 6 questions, I had read one of them and then I had to write a sentence.

She is recommending the approval and said that there is one more security check that needs to be done before she can approve my case. She said that I should get a letter in the mail in a couple of weeks and that the oath ceremony will probably be within 3 months.

When I asked about the security check she said that it was local and that it should only take a couple of days and it should not delay anything.

Hopefully everything will continue to go as good as it has so far.

Congrats on the successful interview!!!!! I am waiting for my interview date, so hopefully I will hear something soon.

What questions were you asked for the exam? I'm getting really nervous about this because I have the worst memory and I'm the worst test-taker ever.

It is not your computer. I just noticed that my post was doubled as well. I don't know how to delete the other one.

I brought pretty much what was mentioned in the list sent with the interview notification. I had copies of our tax returns for the last 3 years, copies of 2 bank statements (one from about 5 years ago and another one from 1 month ago showing that we had commingled our assets from the beginning of marriage), copies of benefiary information for retirement plans, copies of car and health insurance, and copy of deed in our house.

I only remember 4 of the 6 questions asked: Colors of the stripes in the flag, Where is the white house located, when was the constitution writen, what is the capital of Oh.

I had my naturalization interview today. Everything went very well. My husband had to be there with me because my 1751 is still pending. The officer just asked some general questions on my application to make sure everything was still current. She asked to see some proof of joint resindency and of our life together. Then she asked 3 / 4 questions about our relationship and then we moved onto the test. I was asked 6 questions, I had read one of them and then I had to write a sentence.

She is recommending the approval and said that there is one more security check that needs to be done before she can approve my case. She said that I should get a letter in the mail in a couple of weeks and that the oath ceremony will probably be within 3 months.

When I asked about the security check she said that it was local and that it should only take a couple of days and it should not delay anything.

Hopefully everything will continue to go as good as it has so far.

Congratulations. We are very happy for you. Thanks for sharing what you took with you and details of the interview. Wish we were back at NSC.
