Hello, 

 

    My citizenship interview is scheduled for this Friday in Philadelphia. Since I've applied for citizenship based on marriage (same-sex), I'm going to bring several proofs of evidence of my four years wedding as I did for the removal of conditions on my greencard. I studied thoroughly for the civic/history and English test. Any particular recommendations? Thanks! (Until a few days ago I was very cool about it, but now I feel a bit nervous and anxious 😓).

Hello ChrisDC,

 

it is a great moment to have a citizenship interview!

 

I wish you a smooth and quick process!

 

We are also same-sex couple 👭. Every couple's experience is different. We did not have friendly experience with USCIS. However, USCIS should not discriminate based on sexual orientation. If you experience any issue, feel free to contact Ombudsman office as well as your Congressman or other local officials.

 

Wish you best of luck 😊🙏

Helo Kiolas, 

 

 Thanks for your response! Getting a biased USCIS officer is eactly my fear. I hope it is not going to happen.  Would you mind telling more about your experience? 

 

Good luck to you too!

Sorry that it took me a while to respond to your message, but I had a few very intensive weeks. I'm very sorry about your nightmare, and I hope you will be able to get your citizenship soon. My interview went very smoothly and this morning I took the oath. I'm now officialy a US citizen! Good Luck!
