My appointment for interview was at 9AM. I arrived at 8:45, got called for the interview at 11:45AM. Before I was allowed to go inside the interview area, I was asked by the officer for my ITR, birth cert of my child, marriage cert, and proof of residence. I applied for naturalization based on my husband who is a US citizen. She asked me for the original copy of my husband's naturalization cert., I didn;t have it because my husband told me they would need only a copy! The officer, who was also from my home country, was so strict. I thought she wouldn't approve my application! She never smiled at all. I felt like I was a kindergarten pupil terrorized by my teacher. She asked for proof of residence and I fortunately brought our bill of statement for the car that my husband and I bought. Both of our names were there, but she said that wasn't enough. She insisted that I show her utility bills. I didn't bring any. I told her my husband pays for the utility bills & the bills were addressed to him so I didn't bring the bills. I told her I thought you needed proof of my address only. She reasoned that I needed to provide evidence that we are still living together. She also asked me for a copy of our house lease. Of course, I didn't have that, too. She asked me why I didn't bring the documents she was asking me for and I simply said, "I apologize that I wasn't able to bring those with me. I honestly didn't really give much thought that they would be needed." I was prepared for her to tell me to go home and re-apply. Lastly, she asked me where my husband was. She was reading my face and I knew she saw it in my face that I was calculating where could he be at that time. I said, "He must be in Jersey City by now. He drove me here and will come later to pick me up. Should I call him and tell him to come? However, I don't think he brought the utility bills with him either." I knew she was kinda irritated with me already. She then asked, what is the date of this bill of statement for the car? I showed her that it was dated for next month. At that point, she let me in. During the interview, she also asked me how I supported myself, blah!blah!blah! I was surprised that she approved my application. I said a soft "Thank you" as I left her desk, and she said, "You're welcome." with still no smile on her face. Interview lasted only 15 minutes. I finished at 12noon. I got called again at 2pm for the green card, thrn at 3pm we had the oath taking. Finally, it's over. God bless America! |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
