I had my citizenship interview today, and I thought that I'd share my information with anyone who might be interested in knowing how it was. My appointment was at 7:40, and I arrived at 7:15. There were A LOT of people there, so I had to wait until 8:30 to be called back for my interview. The man who interviewed me was very nice, and he asked me for my green card, DL, and passport. He started sorting through the papers in my file, and then asked me a couple of questions from the N-400. He asked if I had been arrested, if I was associated with terrorists, and asked me if I had copies of certain papers (he was really happy that I had my own copies, so it's a good idea to take copies of everything). The papers he needed were the selective service paper, my wife's birth certificate, and our wedding certificate.

He had me read the sentence, "How many Senators do we have?" Then he had me write, "We have one hundred Senators." After that, he asked me these questions (obviously he asked them the same way you find them in the book -- I just summed them up)...

1. What do the stripes on the flag represent?

2. What happened on September 11, 2001?

3. What is Abraham Lincoln famous for?

4. Who does a Senator represent?

5. Which state borders Mexico?

6. What is a right that only a U.S. citizen has?

The entire interview took only 20 minutes, and he asked me if I wanted to do the oath the same day (which I accepted).

Very happy that it went well! I hope this helps anyone who is having their interview in Irving!
