Here is my experience for the Interview:
My wife and I arrived at 10:15 and we forgot our mobiles with us, so I had to leave the building and go back to the parking lot and leave the mobiles in the car... We waited like 10 minutes (my appointment was at 10:45a.m. we were called at 10:55). The officer that interviewed us was like in his late 50s...He was so nice, he just asked me about the information on my I 485, very quickly, and then asked my wife (US citizen) how we met...And very quickly he asked for pictures...At my surprise, when he saw that we met 14 years ago, in Spain, he was really amazed. Then he saw other pictures of us in Italy, then in Mexico, and more in USA, he was like" :wow: He didn't ask any more questions, and said that I was approved and that I shall receive my GC in mail in 2 weeks. That's when I asked him if it is possible to have the I 551 stamp on my passport. He said that they don't give it anymore. I explained to him that I would like to travel tomorrow, and have already my ticket. So, he looked at us and smiled :yes: and said; OK.,... :D I was so happy :dance: So he stamped my passport, took my AP document, and told me to keep my EAD for souvenir... :rofl: The whole interview took like 15 to 20 minutes...It was a great experience, he never asked for other evidence like joint account, bills, utilities... nothing of that... the pictures were a GREAT EVIDENCE for him... |

I arrived to Sacramento (Downtown), and was looking for a parking lot. After finding one, just behind the USCIS building, the guy told me that they accept just cash money, no credit cards!!! I was so lucky to have $10 on me. So, I arrived around 9:00 a.m. My appointment was at 9:45 am. There were quite a bit of people in the waiting room. I had to wait like for 30 minutes after 9:45 to be called for my interview (to tell the truth, I was getting more nervous, I thought they forgot about me). The officer that called my name told me they were running a little bit late.
The interview in itself was smooth and fast: after swearing to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, the officer began with the Test. I hade 6 questions:
1- What is the name of the national anthem?
2- Why does the flag have 13 stripes?
3- What ocean is on the West Coast of the United States?
4- What major event happened on September 11, 2001, in the United States?
5- How old do citizens have to be to vote for President?
6- What is the "rule of law"?
For the reading test, I had to read: How many Senators are there? And I had to write the answer: we have one hundred Senators.
Once this part was done, I was really feeling better, much better...all the rest of the interview was so easy, no original document required, just a list of trips that I made after filing the N400.
The officer was so nice, he told me that I am approved, big stamp in red, and after signing the N400 form, he made me sign my 2 passport-style photos that I sent with the N400 form. Then, he handed me a paper that showed that I passed my interview (N-652) form, and even gave me the N-445 form (Notice of Naturalization Oath Ceremony)... |

*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.
