Philadelphia interview experience

[neofatty 1]

Passed my interview on 4/18 at the Philly office. Although there were three ceremonies held they weren't able to slot me in. I took two little kids with me and drove for 4 hours. They were nice enough to try to schedule the oath at the courthouse near where I live, it will be three weeks away. The IO said the oath letter will follow but the time and date are confirmed. Very very efficient and helpful, couldn't have expected better.

Extremely nice officer. Arrived 40 mins earlier than the appointment and got called in after going through reception at the 1st and then 2nd floor. Waited for 20 mins or so before getting called in. The interview lasted for about 15 mins. Got sworn in and asked questions on the N400. No surprises at all.

US Civics:

1. What is the one promise you made when you become a US citizen

2. Who's the father of our country

3. Who's the governor

4. Where's the Statue of Liberty

5. Who's the first president

6. I forgot...

English: the president lives in the White House

Then asked to confirm the spelling of my name on the certification sheet. That was it. Hope this is helpful.

Let me know if you have any question, time for me to pay it forward.

My wifes interview was also 4/18 at Philly. All went well for her and she passed too. Her oath will also be close to our home 5/30. Everyone there was very nice. Even security tried to provide a happy atmosphere as much as thier job allowed You dont see that often. The only complain I can come up with is the parking.

I am a Philly filer too, biometrics on 5/2/14. Can I ask how long the process took for you both after your biometrics? Did you get an interview schedule right away?
