Finally done with everything but one last step of Oath. Here is my interview experience:

I had my interview scheduled for 9.20. Reached at 9.07 and was asked to wait till they call my name. Waited, waited and was finally called in at 10.10. Officer told me it will take around 20mins for the interview but I was done in 10. Before we sat down, he asked to raise my right hand and take pledge to tell the truth. He took my passport and GC from me. He asked about discrepancy in my middle name on my application and passport. Then we went over the application with him asking standard questions - address, wife's name, phone number, travel, when I came to US, part of any terrorist organization, communist party, arrested etc. In the end, he asked me to sign my name on the application and on the photos. Then he asked to me read a sentence - I smiled when I looked at the sentence - "We are having fun". The questions I was asked were:

- Why 100 Senators?

- Who is the vice-president?

- Who is the commander-in-chief of US military?

- What is the head executive of city government called?

- What is the highest court in US?

- What is the national anthem?

- What is the constitution?

- Can constitution be changed?

- What do we celebrate on 4th of July?

- For how long is the President elected?

Then he asked me to write this sentence - "You drink too much coffee"

After that he said, Congratulations, you have passed, you will have to Oath ceremony letter in 1-2 months.

I feel so much relieved after this whole ordeal of visa, GC and Citizenship. It's good I don't have to go thru this again. Thanks everyone for your help.
