😉... plus, even if it were under the 3 year rule. Who’d blame anyone. Being stuck in a house with your spouse in this pandemic 24/7 is already driving me insane. ( Not trying to make light of anyone’s marital issues btw). They should just at this point grant a waiver and approve all our cases😩. Is that too much to ask for? I guess it is 

I Knoow they should give us Oath ceremonys and let us Vote this year😁

I have a Question:

If I get divorced in next weeks or months  before my N400 interview is that gonna be suspicious on my interview if I filed by 5year rule???

It shouldn't, especially if you applied under 5 years. because 5 year rule IS for people that are not married to the US citizens anymore.

Sure...

 

First, everyone is wearing a mask, and keeps a mask on whenever in shared areas. You can't even enter the building if you do not have one. Then you have to answer a set of questions about Covid-19 exposure or symptoms before you can go through security (which is basically the same as TSA Security at an airport).

 

When I went back with the officer, they took me to the video interview room, had me swear to tell the truth throughout the interview, and then left me in the office while they went back to theirs to conduct the interview remotely over video. They said I could remove my mask as soon as they left and my door was closed. They removed their mask when they sat down at their desk so we were mask-free over video.

 

Questions I was asked...

Who is the governor of your state?

Name a state that borders Canada.

What are the two parts of the Legislative Branch?

If both the President and the Vice President can no longer serve, who becomes the President?

Name one of the two longest rivers in the United States.

How many senators are there?

 

They then reviewed all the questions in the application, standard biographical questions about family, where I lived, etc, details about my international travel history (but mainly checking that there had been no further travel since the last trip noted on my application), association memberships, current job and employer. Then they went through all the questions about moral standing, and I had to answer each one expressly.

 

All in all it was pretty straightforward, and nothing to worry about (even though I was stress-studying the 100 civics questions for weeks leading up to today)...

 

Cheers!

 

So, interview was June 22, and we just got our oath ceremony dates posted to our my.uscis.gov account... July 23. @Rick & Apple, would you mind updating the spreadsheet with that date please?

 

Question for anyone with better info than me... I have two minor children who will become US citizens when we do. Are they supposed to go to the oath ceremony, and if so, will they also receive their citizenship certificate then?

 

Thanks!

No. 
you can apply for a passport for them with your own certificate. If you want certificate for them you will have to apply for N-600 for them and pay the fee for it for both.

Be prepared they will ask you your current marital status while go over your N400 paperwork during the interview. So you need to tell them you are getting divorced/ separated or divorce finalize. They might or might not ask a RFE of current separation or divorce papers with decision cannot be made.

Not really, they still ask  current marital status during N400 paperwork review as it counts life changing situation. So she would need to tell them she is getting divorced. How will it effect after that is up to IO.

Even if its a 5year rule that I applied? Why would they ask that or for RFE?

It`s a possibility, IO asked me to confirm my marital status during the interview. They might or might not ask for it.

You'll update your status to divorced and show your divorce decree, but it doesn't have any impact on the naturalization under 5 year rule. You just need to update your info and show documentation.

Well, not necessarily. I applied under the 5 year rule and I'm still married to a US citizen...
