Hi all! My interview this morning went smoothly, and now after the oath ceremony I'm a US citizen! Yay!! :dance:

Interview report follows. Congrats to pure8heart (missed you by one day!), simonsays and andresamina! Good luck to the rest of the Marchers!!!! :thumbs:

-------------------------

Arrived 8:10am for 8:30am appointment. Called about 8:55am. After swearing me in, IO asked for my green card, passport and ID (I used driver's license). She checked my address and details, using a red pen to confirm my answers.

She looked at my trips and my passport stamps and remarked on the last one (a 4-month holiday in Mexico).

Then I did the reading test (Who elects Congress) and the writing (The people elect Congress). Questions were:

4. What is an amendment?

81. Who did US fight in WWII?

52. What do we show loyalty to when we say the pledge of allegiance?

34. Who vetoes bills?

1. What is the supreme law of the land?

44. What is the capital of your state.

Then she went through the rest of the form in order, checking them off with her pen, asking some of the questions, using her own words (e.g. Have you ever hurt anyone?). Then about 3 yes questions. She went back to check my trips details on her computer and made changes on the dates of a couple of them.

She said I was approved and could take oath the same day. I signed my photos and the form (resigned the first part with my normal signature instead of all my names). I received my N-652 and my oath letter.

We returned at 1:30pm and at 1:55pm were led upstairs, checked off, and led to a room where family and friends were waiting. There were 21 of us from 15 nations. Cameras were allowed.

Not sure of the order of all this, but it is pretty close. We saw a short wordless film, then we took the oath of allegiance, received our certificates, then another film, then made a pledge to the flag. Time for photos, including some in front of the flag. All done by 2:30pm! :star:

Thanks, fellow Oregonians! :star:

MsAnn, the reason I posted in such detail was so that you could read it for your interview preparations. Portland appears to be a quick efficient DO. Best of luck for August!

@krysia, sorry you have to wait, is there any way you can make an infopass and provide the missing docs? or call the IO directly? Hope you'll be done soon.

For now I have to wait for some mail from them

She said it might be enough, and I will get the decision by mail

I gues if I don't hear back in 3 weeks I will try to contact her

Congrats,

I had the craziest week myself, my labor got incuded on Friday night, it took 18 hours and I had my little daughter on Saturday at 6pm, all went well, got out of the hospital on Monday morning, which was quite something, had to keep telling people I needed to be out by 9am to make it to my interview!!

I went home, left my baby with my parents and hauled downtown with my husband, the interview was so easy, no need to be worried at all, I waited a few minutes, we went over my application, added my daughter under the children section and then I had to read and write someting like George Washington was our first president. Then I got asked the civics questions, I think it was how many voting members in the House, The question about John Roberst in the Supreme Court, which ocean onthe East coast, and three more, I can't remember, I was having a hard time not falling asleep since I hadn't had any real sleep for days with the birth and the new baby. It was super easy, nothing to worry about, got the letter that I am recommended for citizenship and was told to wait for the oath letter now.

Does anybody know how to find out where the oath ceremony will be held and what the upcoming dates are for San Francisco?

I would like to estimate how long it'll be...

Good luck to all! Thanks
