I just wanted to share my naturalization interview experience hoping it can help others, just as previous postings provided guidance thru our journey.
Today, 21 October 2011, I had my naturalization interview at USCIS-SFO. BTW, I got my greencard thru marriage to my husband. My route started with K1 -> Conditional GC -> AOS -> Naturalization.
My interview was scheduled at 1:45PM. We came in at 1:15PM and got called for the actual interview at 1:43PM.
The IO was so nice. As soon as we got into her office, she told me to relax.
1. After she sworn me in, she asked for my greencard, California issued ID (I gave both my driver's license and State ID), and all my passports including those expired ones.
2. She went over my application form and basically asked me all the questions in the form.
3. Since I got my GC thru marriage to my husband, she asked for documents to show that we are still married and living together -- any document with both our names in it. I was not prepared for this, because I thought the IRS tax transcript would suffice. But she did not even asked for those. Luckily I brought a bank statement and I kept a copy of our car insurance in my wallet. So with those 2 documents, I was ok.
For those who are applying for naturalization on the basis of marriage to their USC spouses, make sure you have proof that you are still together -- at least 2 documents -- like utility bills, credit card statement, etc with both your names in it.
4. Civic Test -- she asked me the ff questions
4.1. What group of people was taken to America and sold as slaves?
4.2. Why did the colonists fight the British?
4.3. What is the name of the Vice President of the United States now?
4.4. What is the highest could in the United States?
4.5. Who makes federal laws?
4.6. How many amendments does the Constitution have?
5. Reading -- she asked me to read the question -- "What country is north of the United States"
6. Written -- she asked me to write -- "Canada is the country north of the United States."
That's it. Hope this helps.
And to those who are wondering if you can bring your cellphones, YES you can but you have to turn it off as soon as you enter the building.
