N-400 2008 October Filers

zhz · February 10, 2009

I just had my interview this afternoon. Passed the interview and got the same day oath ceremony.

It was scheduled for 1:25PM at ATL USCIS. They're running about 20 minutes behind. The IO didn't ask any documents that I brought. I mentioned that I brought the IRS transcript when she asked if I paid tax, and she heard the "yes" and never asked about the transcript. went through the N-400 and had me signed the n-400. She then gave me the civil test. She wrote down the answers to all six questions I gave. Asked where I wife was and I told her that she was sitting next to me when she called me in to have the interview. She was trying to figure out where my home is (about two hours from ATL). She told me that it's too late for "today's ceremony" but asked me to wait downstairs (waiting room for ceremony) to see if she can get me in for the same day ceremony. The IO was very professional and very nice.

They called my name AFTER all relatives/friends were in their seat in the ceremony room. I guess I was very luck, just couple of minutes before they started. The lady said there were "even 100" people from 44 countries. guess what my number is? 101, actually I didn't even have a number, that's how close it was for me to get into the same day ceremony. My (FORMER) country was not on the list she called out during the ceremony so I stood up after everybody else stood up.

After the official ceremony, the lady made it very clear, U.S. does NOT recognize the Dual Citizenship -- Use your US passport to enter US or else. She gave "authorization" for everybody in that room to make copies of their own naturalization certificate.

Thanks everybody. My long immigration journey is over.

Please update my timeline: interview 2/09/2009, oath 2/09/2009.
