Salt Lake City, Utah Naturalization Interview Experience May 2010

I hope this is searchable for others because this will be the first time anyone mentions a Salt Lake City interview experience here on VJ, I was somewhat disappointed to not find anything when I searched for it before, so I am now pleased to provide this information to whoever it may benefit.

The USCIS office if on the west side of the freeway just north of the 5300 S exit in a really nice looking office building but the inside is somewhat run down. There is a small waiting are for about 40-50 people, it was half full during my time there. I arrived 30 minutes early for my interview and waited about 30 minutes past my appointment time so about an hour all in all.

I was surprised by how under dressed some people were, there was a guy in there wearing a denim jumpsuite with muddy boots and a stained haines shirt under it.

A very friendly and courteous gentlemen asked me to follow him to his office when my name was called, so I did. He asked me for my drivers license and my permanent resident card and told me to have a seat. I asked if he wanted to see all the documents I brought (and told him what I had with me) but his response was that he would asked to see the needed paperwork as we go through my application. I was asked to sign my photos and then he asked which country I would like to have as my previous country of citizenship on my naturalization certificate as I at this point was a holder of two passports.

We went through the N400 page by page, question by question verifying everything, at the end he had me sign it and told me that I would have to do the testing portion. I was asked to read 'How many states does the United States have ?' and then write 'We have fifty states.' The following six questions were asked for the civics portion:

Who wrote the declaration of independence ?

Who is the commander in chief ?

What is the party of the current president ?

What are the two major political parties in the US?

Name three out of thirteen original states.

Name one states that borders Mexico.

At that point he congratulated me and told me I was being recommended for naturalization, gave me an information sheet about the oath ceremony and told me where and when it would be (but I have to wait for the actual oath letter to arrive in the mail) and then wished me good luck and let me out. I must say this was probably the best experience I have ever had with government officials, I was treated very well and everyone at the office was just super friendly !

Just a couple of additional remarks. I applied based on the 5yr rule (not married) so they asked me how I ended up here without close family around, I am also overly paranoid so I brought a bit more evidence than asked for, here is a breakdown;

Requested evidence:

All travel documents and passport ever issued by any government

Green card and drivers license

Proof of selective service registration

Court documents certifying that the two speeding tickets I had were paid

Additional photos

Voluntary evidence:

Tax returns

Copies of change of address forms (that were previously submitted)

Bank statements

Copy of my driving record

The only thing they requested to see out of all this (apart from DL and PRC) were the court documents (even though the fines were under $500) and contrary to many reports on here, they did keep my originals, both my the court docs and my tickets.

Just another note, same day oaths and oath letters are never available in Salt Lake, ceremonies are held every 4-6 weeks for about 200 people and they are always held at the Rose Wagner theater downtown on 200 South.

Let me know if anyone has any questions, and I will be happy to answer them.

Thanks for all your comments and well wishes !

Hey did they ask you for your passport, whats PRC? ANYWHO I HAVE MY INTERVIEW MONDAY, WISH ME LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

PRC is what the government calls your 'Green Card' (Permanent Resident Card)

They did not ask for my passport even though I had plenty of travel listed on the N400, filled up a whole page in addition to the standard form.

Good luck !

Salt Lake City, Utah Naturalization Interview Experience May 2010

I hope this is searchable for others because this will be the first time anyone mentions a Salt Lake City interview experience here on VJ, I was somewhat disappointed to not find anything when I searched for it before, so I am now pleased to provide this information to whoever it may benefit.

The USCIS office if on the west side of the freeway just north of the 5300 S exit in a really nice looking office building but the inside is somewhat run down. There is a small waiting are for about 40-50 people, it was half full during my time there. I arrived 30 minutes early for my interview and waited about 30 minutes past my appointment time so about an hour all in all.

I was surprised by how under dressed some people were, there was a guy in there wearing a denim jumpsuite with muddy boots and a stained haines shirt under it.

A very friendly and courteous gentlemen asked me to follow him to his office when my name was called, so I did. He asked me for my drivers license and my permanent resident card and told me to have a seat. I asked if he wanted to see all the documents I brought (and told him what I had with me) but his response was that he would asked to see the needed paperwork as we go through my application. I was asked to sign my photos and then he asked which country I would like to have as my previous country of citizenship on my naturalization certificate as I at this point was a holder of two passports.

We went through the N400 page by page, question by question verifying everything, at the end he had me sign it and told me that I would have to do the testing portion. I was asked to read 'How many states does the United States have ?' and then write 'We have fifty states.' The following six questions were asked for the civics portion:

Who wrote the declaration of independence ?

Who is the commander in chief ?

What is the party of the current president ?

What are the two major political parties in the US?

Name three out of thirteen original states.

Name one states that borders Mexico.

At that point he congratulated me and told me I was being recommended for naturalization, gave me an information sheet about the oath ceremony and told me where and when it would be (but I have to wait for the actual oath letter to arrive in the mail) and then wished me good luck and let me out. I must say this was probably the best experience I have ever had with government officials, I was treated very well and everyone at the office was just super friendly !

Just a couple of additional remarks. I applied based on the 5yr rule (not married) so they asked me how I ended up here without close family around, I am also overly paranoid so I brought a bit more evidence than asked for, here is a breakdown;

Requested evidence:

All travel documents and passport ever issued by any government

Green card and drivers license

Proof of selective service registration

Court documents certifying that the two speeding tickets I had were paid

Additional photos

Voluntary evidence:

Tax returns

Copies of change of address forms (that were previously submitted)

Bank statements

Copy of my driving record

The only thing they requested to see out of all this (apart from DL and PRC) were the court documents (even though the fines were under $500) and contrary to many reports on here, they did keep my originals, both my the court docs and my tickets.

Just another note, same day oaths and oath letters are never available in Salt Lake, ceremonies are held every 4-6 weeks for about 200 people and they are always held at the Rose Wagner theater downtown on 200 South.

Let me know if anyone has any questions, and I will be happy to answer them.

Congratulations Capt. P! And thank you for sharing!

So i had my interview today in boston, i got there about an hour early, and since it was kinda slow they went ahead and did the interview. Because the questionaire is different for everybody, im not gonna even going to bother, i believe they change the questions for everyone so just study the naturalization test and you should be fine. I got the first 6 right and the guy stopped, i think its 6 out of 10 or something like that.

Anyways the questions are first, and then you go to another room where you wait to be called in, and then they ask you questions on your application, like have you ever supported a terrorist group, have you ever claimed to be a citizen, have to ever voted, do you support the constitution, willing to bear arms for the US.etc (most of the questions that are on the application, they ones that were either yes or no. It was pretty quick like 5 minutes.

OH I DIDNT HAVE A PASSPORT, THE LADY ASKED FOR MY GREENCARD, DRIVERS LICENCE, AND PASSPORT, AND I SAID I LOST THEM LIKE 10 YRS AGO, AND ALL SHE SAID WAS OK!!!SWEET RIGHT!!

AND SHE STAMPED APPROVED, i was so psyched..lol i was like wheew.

So after that was over i had to wait some more (didnt mind had a day off from work), and all i did was write my name on the passport photos, and the lady said ure done, your oath letter will be on the mail. The whole thing was like 2 hrs, but most of the time is spent waiting!!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!

So you did not send any copy of your Green Card too with your application? You are very lucky, you don't have passport, GC, DL and you passed? Some IO were very strict you must have had very kind interviewer that day

Congrats anyway, at least you were approved!
