I did my interview today and got my citizenship ♥️

 

My schedule was 1:50 pm, got in 1:35 out 3:15, total 1:40 with citizenship in hand. awesome.

 

TL;DR

 

Don't take it too seriously, it's a quick and welcomey process if you are basically eligible.  

 

More detailed for the one who cares:

(as gratitude to this amazing thread)

 

security check airport style, 

body temperature, 

2 min check-in (showing notice), 

waiting room, 5 min, 30 ppl, social distancing and all.

calling my number,

A nice smiling lady escorts me to a private cubicle office.

 

*my HB 120bps*

 

Virtual interview: 

computer screen, 

tablet, 

headset with mic

printer and empty outgoing documents bin (for green card and sign documents)

 

been asked by escort lady to take from my 4lb documents bag:

Driver's license, green card, my foreign passport. the rest in the draw.

 

Very nice smiley officer on screen, 

I start by standing and "swear to say the truth..so help me god" 

 

check basic details, showing driver's license, green card, passport. 

asking for my SSN number, I am like, I don't know it by heart, I have it here, taking it from the draw.

 

 

then the civil test, 6 easy questions. not the complex, but I bet it's purely random. 

then reading (on a tablet) - 4 words. lol.

writing on a tablet 8 words, 

Wrote lincoln incorrectly. don't seem to care much. 

 

the Officer tells me I am done with the test, congratulations, the printer spits my N-652 (test approval) for me to keep, and now for the N-400 eligibility test:

 

Basically, we went throw MOST of the questions in it, but quickly, found two mistakes I did, one, for example, I was married only 1 in my life, my wife (apparently) ZERO times, guess I like them fresh :)

 

after the long whole yes\no questions part from the n-400, showing me on the tablet the two fixes for my approval. printer spit, I sign, left on document bin with my green card. 

 

Congratulate me again, and escort me out for my Oath. 

 

Waiting room, 15 min, calling me to another room, 3 people with me, standing over a desk, an Officer came, smiling (under the mask), congratulate us, we like froze like popsicles...

 

repeat after me.. Oath of Allegiance.

 

congratulate again, "you can klap yourself, it's a big moment for you". 

got envelop with my certification, passport request form and vote registered pages, and a small flag. done.

 

I think my main point, I came too stressed, learn all 100 questions by heart, prepare everything, came ready for a war, eventually, it was a very smooth process, and I wish you all to come more relaxed than me.

 

I hope for all of you the same smooth and nice process, I heard that it is easy, but still came too heavy, light a bit, its a celebration time, not test time :)

 

That's my 2 cents, good luck to all. 

 

p.s.

photocopy in UPS south center, 10 min drive, good advice.

also my passport USPS appointment is tomorrow morning. thanks to this thread. 🙏

 

feel free to PM if needed.

This was the Bellevue post office. If you do, let us know if this went well. Every one advised to have your application ready, your check written, and have the passport photo.

Ah thanks. If I have success I’ll update. Sadly kids need both parents present so we have to find a Saturday Post office that lets us do a walk-in.

Anyone else seeing delayed expedited passport processing times as well?

 

Applied for expedited passport processing on 4/1, it got accepted on 4/14. No news since then. It says the current timeline is "4-6 weeks",  but I'm already past 6.

 

I guess, it's not like I'm very surprised, but just wanted to see what others here are experiencing.

All this talk of passports got me thinking... My husband would like to keep his Mexican citizenship and have dual citizenship. His appt is May 19th, and we plan on traveling back to Mexico two months later. Can we wait on the US passport since he will still have his Mexican passport? Thanks!

You may not be admitted to the US if you don't show your US passport once you are a citizen.

Quote

U.S. nationals, including dual nationals, must use a U.S. passport to enter and leave the United States. Dual nationals may also be required by the foreign country to use its passport to enter and leave that country. Use of the foreign passport to travel to or from a country other than the United States is not inconsistent with U.S. law.
