Hi Guys!

Well I am almost there. I had my interview yesterday. I waited for about 2 hours before I got called (not sure why they give you a time appointment). I went in and told the man I had brought all the extra documents they had requested and I pilled them out. He told me to just put them away as I was making his work space messy! It was pretty intimidating. He asked a bunch of question...did I personally know any terrorists, did I engage in prostitution, did I traffic drugs and so on.

I passed the first 8 question so he stopped there. He asked me how long the president served, what was the state capitol, when was independence day, ....gosh my mind is blank I cannot remember the rest.

Anyway my oath ceremony is next Thursday November 20th....I am so relieved this is almost over.

Good luck to the rest of you.

Well, for me it's over. I finally got my citizenship yesterday after 8.5 years of suffering.

I had my apointment at 9:20 AM. I was there 5 min earlier, the oficer cald my name in less than 10 min. The test took even les than that, then he went through the form N-400 with me by asking quwestions. at the end he asked if I wanted to do the oath at 3:00 PM the same day, and I said yes.

The Ceremony started at 3:45 and ended in les than an hour. I can't beleave it, 8.5 year of waiting ended in les than half a day. I'm extremely relieved.

Only thing that I have to add is that be very careful when the officer is going through N-400 with you, don't let the friendliness of them fool you. Do not answer,explain or give any thing more than what you have been asked for, at that time. It is their job to make sure that everything goes in the way "they" want, and it's your job to make sure that what they want is for you to have your citizenship. It was a pleasure to know all of you, and good luck. I will check on the site almost every day untill all of us end this journey. BY the way "2bornot2b" and "KatlvoM" what happend to your case!? are you guys still with us? I'm kind of worried about your cases. Please update us.

Congratulation, Mr Zee!

When I took the oath, I noticed a couple of things.

- They played video for Mr. President's welcome message and others, but it was SONY product. :whistle:

- It seems that US flag made in China. :whistle:

- With expensive cost for N400 processing fee, and big moment, they should distribute US Flag as welcome gift.

Interview was a success! The hub was scheduled for 9:30 but didn't end up getting in until around 10:15. The Fargo office is very small, and there was only one officer conducting interviews. And she kept being interupted by people walking in with one random question after another - even though it was clearly evident these people did not have appointments...it was rather shocking to see just how ill informed people are with the immigration process. We also had one minor glitch in that they made us go upstairs to the IRS and have them verify that we did not owe anything on our taxes. I assumed this was due to an error the IRS made a couple years back in which they took it upon themselves to credit the check sent with our taxes to the next years taxes. Gotta love it.

Now we are waiting on notification of the Oath ceremony, which we were advised might not be until February.

I took my Oath on Nov 12. The Ceremony was 15 min, but we waited 4h for it, as we were 1800 people and there was a lot of organizing and walking.

Good luck!
