The Citizenship Interview

[John Donne 0]

Greetings to all,

It has been a long trip to get to our interview, which is coming up next week - so we feel a little nervous. Can you tell us what the interview was like? We are not worried about the history questions, but about hidden bumps, such as days out of the USA, overseas income, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Nothing hidden. No bumps either.

80% of the interview is going through the N-400, line by line, to make sure it's filled out correctly.

It's very simple, the easiest of all the immigration interviews you have. If you have kids born since you immoigrated, be sure to bring the birth cert.

Going for the three or five year? Wife went for the three year, 45 minutes spent going over evidence we were living together. Stepdaughter, single, went for the five year, in and out in less than ten minutes. Both memorized their civics questions and both excellent at English, that took them about a minute. Both knew their N-400 well and could explain the way they were answered.

Stepdaughter only needed her green card, no tax returns, did have her drivers' license, seems to be a new requirement, didn't even want to see that. Quite a huge difference between the 3 and 5 year. She didn't even have to show a worthless utility bill like my wife did with joint names on it.
