Congrats...

How was your interview experience please? Thank you.

Thanks Ben10...Interview went well..It actually went for about 20 Mins but the wait before was about an hour....The CO was cool and he started asking the questions directly for almost 15 mins....With respect to the Civic test, I answered all 6 straight so no worries there....After questionning, he asked me to provide all the documentation like Marriage Certs, Kid's Birth Cert, GC's, Tax returns, bank statements, address proof documents, licence etc...After verifying, he was convinced and said "Congratulations, you are approved" and handed over the Oath ceremony invitation letter...At the end, he asked me to write few points about the journey to become US citizen....

Overall, it was smooth and simple...but make sure you take all the necessary documents...

All the best

Raj

Thank you all for the wishes...

Very nice and smooth interview....

It seems you had a same day oath! I don't know if in New York they have same day oath.

PS: It's for my wife, she will apply for Citizenship next year.

No, I didnt have the same day oath...but he gave the invitation letter for the ceremony at the end of the interview....Actually Oath ceremony was on Mar 6th.
