Interview in San Francisco 16 June 2010... here's what happened:
Arrived around 2:05, interview scheduled for 2:15pm.
* Was given a passport application and was instructed to read the top sheet and complete the applications at home.
* Waiting room sparsely populated and very quiet. I remember waiting in this room for my AOS in 2007 - back then, my appt. was in the morning and it was a lot more crowded.
* I & my husband waited until 2:35/ 2:40pm or so until I was called in.
* My interviewer greeted me warmly and apologized for keeping me waiting so for long, murmuring something about running very behind. She swore me in, and proceeded to go through my application very fast - asking me to confirm the information in my application (name, where I live, who I live there with, SSN, etc...). She confirmed the length of my marriage and the anniversary date of my permanent residency. She seemed very harried and definitely was rushing, and kept apologizing since she was occasionally seized by coughing fits... She asked me to turn over my "evidence" but ended up just confirming that I had brought my husband's US passport, my passports, my green card and that I had already provided copies of all our tax returns for the past 3 years, and she also confirmed that a copy of our lease was already in the application.
Finally - the test questions:
* What does the Cabinet of the President do?
* What did the Declaration of Independence do?
* We elect a Senator for how many years?
* Name one of the branches of gvt.
* How many justices are there on the Supreme Court?
* If both the President and Vice President can no longer serve, who becomes President?
My written test:
I was asked to read, "When is Columbus Day" and to write: "Columbus Day is in October."
And, that was it - she congratulated me and said, "wish all my interviews were like you" or something like that... she gave me a piece of paper which indicated that I had passed English, History & Gvt tests, and:
"Congratulations! Your application has been recommended for approval. At this time, it appears that you have established your eligibility for naturalization. If final approval is granted, you will be notified when and where to report for the Oath Ceremony."
