Just to let you all know that I passed !!!!The whole interview was about 15 minutes she spent most of the time asking the questions on the N-400 that I sent ,then she went to ask me the 5 question and then told me to write "They are a very happy family" !!Then she gave me a letter sayong that I passed and said that it could be around September my Oath ,it could be before but likely September and that I should receive a letter 3 weeks before.

The questions were ,the minimum vote age, when do we elect for president, who is the vice president ,how many stars are in our flag and I don't remeber the last one.Thank you all and I will update when I get my letter.

BTW ,all the copies that I made she didn't even ask

Good Luck!

I had my interview today in Baltimore, MD.

Arrived at 8:30 for 8:40 appointment.

They were running behind so I was seen at 9:15 and was done by 9:30AM

I wanted to change my name because I got married so I wanted to keep my maiden name as my middle name before applying for N400 but I decided against that when she said it would be another month or so. So I just opted to take my hubby's name and leave it at that.

She went through the application really fast and suddenly she asked me when the constitution was written and that's when I realized that we were at the test part. I wrote a line and read a line and then she checked off her approval and stamped here and there and said she will recommend me for the noon oath ceremony today!

Oath ceremony was running late because they were trying to squeeze in a couple more people who had just completed their interviews. We were 50 people. Once it got rolling it was quick... we handed in our green cards and the oath notice, they played anthem while we stood, we pledged oath allegiance and the oath to country, they played video of president welcoming new citizens and they handed out each naturalization certificate and a flag. And then we were free to leave

The whole process took 3 months!!!

Congratulations Katulututu!

Just out of curiosity, are we the only April filers left still waiting for the IL ?

Seems that the VSC is slow as molasses except for the Baltimore office - oh well, nothing to do but wait

No, you're not the only one. Seattle is terrible as well. I haven't heard anything since my wife got her fingerprints back in May.

Hi everyone

So I had my interview this morning as well. Waited about 30 mins, and the interview was 15-20 mins. Basic questions, just running through everything. I have to say though, profiling is still alive and well in the US... The longest part of the interview was the part where the officer was grilling me about my wife's heritage, since her maiden name is Haddad (she's 1/4 Lebanese). Ugh.

Anyway, all's well that ends well. Now waiting for the Oath letter!!
