Citizenship Interview Experience (USCIS Philadelphia, PA)

[iluvmy_hubbybunny 9]

Hello Everyone,

It has been a while since the last time I posted here. I'm saving this one last post I want to make for my citizenship experience. Through out the filling processes from K1, AOS, ROC and Naturalization, USCIS have been so good to me. No interview for my past filling except my naturalization. My naturalization interview was really quick. It was about 15 mins. The only dreading part of it was the waiting time. It took 45 mins. The person who asked me questions was so nice and very accommodating. There were couple of questions such as "did I marry my husband for green card" throw me off guard. I thought this kind question would be asked during AOS or ROC. The civic, speaking, writing and reading tests were really easy (as long as you did your part as an applicant, no need to worry). After the tests, I was asked a couple of questions for confirmation such current address, last out-of-the-country vacation date. It was a very laid-back interview. The USCIS official didn't ask me any original document, pictures or additional documents for my application and I only brought what I included in my application ( 8 documents ). He was also able to get me an early spot (next week) for my oath taking. Overall, these fiancee, AOS, ROC and Naturalization applications are such an educational experience for me. I would not say I wanted to do it over again, but I'm grateful for the experience.

Thank you VJ Family for making all the information we (applicants) need available to us and thank you for all the knowledgeable VJ members who are willing to share their expertise.

I don't think I have the answer for your question, maybe some of the VJ members know the answer. Let's wait what they can say or create a new topic. Good luck on your application and thank you.
