BIG THANK YOU!

[Don0 79]

Not sure if this is the right thread but I just want to thank the whole VJ community for all the help. We never had any lawyer from filing I130 to N400. All I relied on was the official websites, family and this community! ❤️

 

Here's my interview experience last October 17th at 10:50AM (approx 8 mins only):

 

Lane to the front of the FO (Sacramento FO) was closed due to Iron Man so I had to run (I was far from late but I wanted to be sure lol). I was called in by my officer, he let me set my stuff on the other chair, and he swore me in. Reminded me to turn off my phone (hence why I know it was only 8 minutes!)

 

He proceeded to ask if I was still married and why I waited for the 5 years. I answered truthfully saying that I knew my brother will be having his wedding and I didn't want the schedules to clash. He appreciated my answer and said it was a smart choice.

 

He asked for my greencard, driver's license and passport (yes, he asked for my passport, but gave it back). He then asked for the appointment letter.

We started with the Civics, reading then writing:

What territory did the US buy from France in 1803?
What is the supreme law of the land?
What is the highest court in the US?
Who is the Father of Our Country?
Name your US representative.
How many amendments does the constitution have?

Reading: Who is the Father of Our Country?
Writing: Washington is the Father of Our Country.

 

Officer was friendly, we talked about the US representative etc. 

 

He proceeded with my name, address, birthday. He asked for my husband's full name. How many kids we have. Then if I was still working at my 2 jobs. And then proceeded to the yes/no questions, I even feel like he skipped some? I don't reme.ber him asking if I was novelty lol. That was it!

 

I asked if my picture looked okay and he asked if I'd like to have a new picture taken which I said yes to. Then he handed me the paper and led me to another officer who then took my picture. That's it. 

 

I got the myuscis notification about the oath about 30 mins later.

 

I had my Oath Ceremony yesterday October 29th! One tip if I may give is to check your notices online. I had a hard time opening it on my phone and so I just told myself the oath is usually scheduled a month out. The actual physical mail came in on the 24th of October for an October 29 ceremony! Good thing my boss was understanding enough for the short notice. 

 

Thank you again, everyone! Now onto my passport... 😅

Yee-HAAAAA!   

 

Perhaps you'll agree that a big part of the overall satisfaction is filling in that final box in your VJ timeline.   

 

I'm shifting your thread from the main US Citizenship forum to the Case Progress subforum.

Post your passport, etc. experiences in the Passports, Etc. subforum!  Those are satisfying to read.
