Hey everyone. Just wanted to give you an update. The biometrics written below was the first try, which was back in March. Apparently, FBI couldn't read it, so I had it done again on April 10. Received my interview letter last Monday. A very good way to start the week off, after ending the previous week w/ an appendectomy.

Interview done. Smooth sailing.

My appointment was for 9:30. I arrived at 9:00 and checked in. A few minutes later, someone called me to ask the civics questions and administer the English test. He had a printed-out list of ten questons, but stopped after I got the six answer correct. The questions were:

- The House of Representatives has how many members?

- We elect a US Representative for how many years?

- In what month do we vote for President?

- Who is the Chief Justice of the United States now?

- Name one war fought in the 1900's.

- ... I forget what the sixth question was.

Then I had to read "Who lives in the White House" and write "The president lives in the White House". The whole thing took no more than a minute.

I was sent to another waiting area, where I sat until I was called at 9:55. I estimate that there were maybe 75 people waiting, but not all of them applicants (plenty of attorneys, surprisingly - how hard is this process, please, that you need a lawyer to babysit you?). The interview took about 20 minutes. After putting me under oath, the IO went over all the items in the N-400 form. He asked me about some of the memberships because he didn't know what they were (one religious fraternity and a couple professional societies), which makes sense for him to do, not a problem. All in all, a friendly, professional atmosphere. No idle chit-chat, but still very pleasant.

Documents: He asked for my green card, my state driver's license, my social security card (if you have it with you) and my passport. Nothing else, but your mileage my vary. I brought a stack of other papers, but I was just as happy to take them all back home unused.

After I was done with the IO, I was back in the waiting room and had to wait for his supervisor to check through the file (so I guess half the people you see when you get there are done with their interviews already). At about 10:55, I was called to sign my pictures and received to the notice for the oath ceremony. That's it.

My recommendation: Expect that this takes some time, respect the IO's professionality by treating him (or her) with respect, don't get frustrated if he asks the same question a couple times.

Thanks, Tini.

I chose not to bring it with me because I didn't want the hassle if they wouldn't let me, and since I took the train I would have had no practical way to leave it anywhere. Luckily, there are still some good old-fashioned pay phones at the train station.

I saw others in the waiting room using phones, so I suppose at the JFK building they don't care. The oath letter, however, says in no uncertain terms that noone can bring any electronic devices, cell phones or pagers. Go figure.

Successful inteview.

My husband and I got there 10:15am my appointment was 10:40am. At 10:35 the officer called me to his office and ask to raise my right hands and start to ask me the 6 questions:

1. How many amendments does the constitution have?

2. Who makes federal law?

3. What is the highest court in the United States?

4. What group of people sold as slaves?

5. Why did the colonists fight British?

6. Who is the vice president of the United states?

Then reading portion he gave me a paper and ask me to read (Who can vote). The writing portion he told me to write ( Citizens of the United states). After that he told me congratulations you passed your test....And then he went over one by one with the questions in the n-400 form. answer is yes or no...One of the question was if somebody ask you if you are a US citizens right now or permanent resident what would you say...I smiled and kinda confused but i remember i read one post here in VJ that after the oath a person will become a citizen...So the officer told me you are not a USC now it will be after the oath... He asked me paper works to support our marriage since I am applying based on 3 years marriage to a USC. I gave him a copy of our bank account statement, electric bill, car insurance, and documents when we bought our house he also asked for a copy of our 2008 tax return he didnt asked 2006 and 2007. Then he told me i will get some documents in the mail and wait for 10-15mins because somebody will double check my papers. After 5 mins. somebody called me and gave me an appointment letter for my oath it will be on june 1 Monday 8am. she told me that i will not yet a USC now it will start after my oath. we left the building at 11am.

I just want to thank all VJers for all the information and step by step guiding process from the start till the end. It help us alot. For anyone who will be having an interview dont be nervous just study the test booklet and you'll be fine..
