Hello all. Applied ~Jan 1 2023. Biometrics Appointment Jan 27 2023 Citizenship Interview May 31 2023 Oath Ceremony July 14th 2023 Interviewer was very kind and affable asked me simple questions. In my case I received my Green card in 2014 sponsored by parent, but only entered for a five-year duration in 2018 due to a) education in a foreign country b) a death in the family which required me to be overseas. Fortunately I had gotten a re-entry permit in 2016 (expired 2018) so that I didn't have to travel back and forth between 2016-2018 continously on grounds of education/training overseas - so really during interview, I had provided evidence of death certificate and copies of my transcripts/registration, enrollment letters so interviewer was satisfied with the documentary evidence. I brought everything to the interview, and also had included these in my application. Note: mention speeding tickets you have ever had, and other traffic infractions when applying, I almost missed these. If you can't find evidence of paying these from the county/city court, get a letter from them stating that these records are not available if very old. Prior to that was travelling every six months or so after receiving the green card and making first landing in 2014. Wanted to share as this forum has been helpful. I hope my sharing this benefits good people who respect values of religious freedom and otherwise values as well, without dishonesty and bad impact for here and anywhere else. Thank you.
