ent-in-house

This forum helped me a lot in my journey so wanted to give back. I became a U.S. citizen last week. Applied in May 2024. NY office. Under 3Y rule. I applied a few months after the 3Y rule was applicable to me. My Removal of Condition (ROC) on Green Card (GC) was pending during application. I wrote to my local representative in September to help expedite my case, because I did not see any movement. It helped. I received my interview date within a week and ROC was processed at the same time. I received my new GC before the interview. The interview was schedule mid-November and Oath ceremony was scheduled mid-December. Interview was in 26 Federal Plaza building 7th Floor. The process was simple. I arrived 30 mins early. Did an airport style check-in. Waited in the 7th floor waiting zone to be called in. My spouse was there with me. When I was called in, my spouse waited in that area. Interviewer did not know that my ROC was removed, so I showed him the new GC. Then I was asked few questions on name, address, DoB. There were a few pieces of information that the system was missing (dates, work location, etc.) that the interviewer helped fill in. I was able to answer the first 6 civics questions, so he stopped there, and moved on to the Yes/No questions. After that, he informed me that my case was approved. I signed the declarations on the electronic device - a pen was provided which worked reasonably well. I had taken a pen with e-tip in case it didn't work but didn't need to use it. He informed me that same-day oaths are no longer happening in NY. Questions asked: 1. We elect a U.S. Representative for how many years? 2. Name one state that borders Canada. 3. Why does the flag have 13 stripes? Apologies, can't remember the other three. Hope this is helpful. Please feel free ask any questions. All the best.
