Hi all. Wanted to update you on my citizenship Interview yesterday (Tuesday 15OCT24). Appointment was for 11:45 am, I arrived around 11:10 and checked in without major incidences. However, I wasn’t called in until approximately 1:50 pm since there was a large crowd of people waiting to be interviewed.
Interviewing officer was very friendly. He asked me for my appointment letter, green card, TX state drivers license and my passports (I have two – one current and one expired). He verified my travel dates in the passports and returned both to me plus the green card and drivers license. He kept my appointment letter.
He proceeded to ask about my marriage, and kids. If there are any problems with my marriage etc. He asked what I do now for work now and was very impressed since it was in the same line of work as my graduate degree PS: he had asked what I studied for after seeing my original F1 visa that brought me to the US. He then proceeded to ask these questions below which I answered:
1. Who is the Chief justice of the US
2. Name one problem that led to the civil war
3. Who did the US fight during WW2
4. What is the ocean on the west coast of the US
5. Name two US National Holidays
6. Who is the current vice president of the US
Reading question on the ipad: I can’t recall but it was super easy
Writing question on the ipad: Lincoln was the President during the civil war
He then proceeded to ask a bunch of N400 YES/NO questions. He told me congratulations! Then printed out a form with my pass results. He said that I will be receive my oath invitation letter within less than a month!
He walked me outside and sent me downstairs to some room to get my citizenship certificate photo taken. The lady who took my photo also congratulated me. I was back in my car at 2:07 pm!
My case status online changed to the #we will mail you an oath invitation# status about one hour later!
