Today I also became a US Citizen! Updating the table below.

They told us that the 110 people taking the oath represented 38 different countries. Very proud to have shared that moment with them. :)

Maybe a dumb question... but if the Government shuts down over the weekend, will the interviews still take place? My interview is scheduled first thing Monday morning!

Answering my own question, I guess interviews won't be affected:

Hi everyone,

 

I had my interview yesterday (01/17/18) at NYC Field Office. My interview was scheduled at 7.15am. I arrived at the USCIS 26 Federal Building at 7.07am. The building was still closed and so was the security check point. At 7.10am I and the other people who lined up for the security check were let in. I then headed to the 7th Floor for a check in. I was told to wait near Door 2 for my name to be called. Within 5 mins or so a gentleman greeted me at the door and escorted me to an office. He was a white man around the age of 50s. He had a very pleasant personality and funny.

 

The interview started with English tests: reading and writing tests.

I was asked to read, "When is Columbus Day?"

I was asked to write, "Columbus Day is in October."

 

After that my interviewer proceeded to the civics test. The questions I was asked were the followings:

(1) What did the declaration of independence do?

(2) How many supreme court judges are there?

(3) Name one branch of the government

(4) Who becomes president if the President and the Vice President cannot serve?

(5) We elect a senator for how many years?

(6) What does the cabinet do?

 

I answered all six questions correctly so we then proceeded to the "Yes/No" questions. Once done, he asked me about my personal history (e.g. when I arrived in the US, when I got married to my spouse, when my spouse become a citizen (but my spouse was born a citizen), why I was in the Africa for 100 days in the summer (I was working for an international organization so the interviewer was okay with it), when I filed the N-400 form, etc.). The whole process seemed very long, like over 30 min, as the computerized system that the Office has just started using has a glitch and kept saying that I was not eligible and I might have filed the application too early. The interviewer did not believe the system so he asked me the above-mentioned questions to confirm my eligibility. Then he asked me for documents to prove my on-going relationship with my spouse as he did not have any print-outs of the supporting documents I submitted online. Luckily I took the same set of the documents I submitted online to my interview. Therefore, I let him choose what he needed. He said, "wow, you have too much. I don't need all these." Then we joked about how painful it was to having to collect all the documents. All in all, it was a friendly interview. He was pleased with the supporting documents I submitted. I had two passport photos with me. Although he did not ask for any photo, I voluntarily offered them to him. He took them. He said, "You have passed the tests, and I will recommend you for approval". He then check the two boxed on my interview assessment paper. He told me my oath ceremony should be around the end of February at one of the three locations (I cannot remember where they are) the Office usually holds ceremonies. I asked him if I could get my oath letter today but he politely said no. He said his colleagues need to schedule me first before my letter can be issued. He walked me to the elevator. He shook hands and said good bye.And that was it.

 

When I reached the subway, I received multiple email notifications from USCIS including.

01/17/2017: We recommended that your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization , be approved. Your case was submitted for quality review.

01/17/2017: Your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization , was placed in line for oath ceremony scheduling.

 

And today I received:

01/18/2017: Oath Ceremony Notice Was Mailed

 

I am waiting for my oath ceremony notice to be uploaded on my online account. Hopefully, I can share with you tomorrow when my oath ceremony will be. Fingers crossed. I do hope my interview experience can help some of our fellows here more or less.

He shook hands and said good bye.And that was it.

 

When I reached the subway, I received multiple email notifications from USCIS including.

01/17/2017: We recommended that your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization , be approved. Your case was submitted for quality review.

01/17/2017: Your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization , was placed in line for oath ceremony scheduling.

 

And today I received:

01/18/2017: Oath Ceremony Notice Was Mailed

 

I am waiting for my oath ceremony notice to be uploaded on my online account. Hopefully, I can share with you tomorrow when my oath ceremony will be. Fingers crossed. I do hope my interview experience can help some of our fellows here more or less.

Congratulations!! I will be having my interview on Feb 14 too. I can't wait.

Not sure if this would be okay to advise, but if you can PLEASE bring originals or printed copies of the same documents you initially submitted with your N-400 application. If the IO cannot access the system and see the uploaded documents, he may ask for them and if you don't have them with you, this might cause some delays to the approval stage. Please treat this as a friendly advice.

Congrats @Dinosaur2013!!!

 

I also advise the same since something similar happened to me at my interview. Another poster also recommended that it wouldn’t hurt to bring copies of taxes for the last 3-5 years, although both of us applied under the 5-year rule. Her interviewer asked for her taxes and mine didn’t but it’s good to have just in case.
