Approved for citizenship today. Same day oath ceremony was nice, 7 hours of waiting wasn't. My interview was only 15 mins and the interviewer was very direct but professional. No pleasantries were exchanged but they were incredibly busy so I can understand the need to get through all the applicants. My interview was at 8:15am in Newark, I didn't need to submit any additional support or passport photos, just presented my greencard, passport and drivers license. Test consisted of:
1. Which group were brought to the US as slaves? 2. Who is the VP? 3 Number of amendments to the Constitution? 4. Who creates laws? 5. Why did we fight the British? 6. What is the highest court?
Read: What was the first state? Write: Delaware was the first state.
Asked yes/no questions and signed forms on an iPad.
The ceremony was very nice, introduction from the USCIS staff, stood for the national anthem, then we watched a video, called out each country and applicants from that country stood up (38 total in my ceremony), said the oath of allegiance (right hand in the air), welcome video from the President, said the pledge of allegiance (right hand over heart), concluded and took photos. Overall, an exhausting day but well worth it and very special. Thank you to everyone here at VJ and all the best with your immigration journeys..I'm done!
So guys just want to let you know I received ead card in the mail on Saturday at noon. Hubby got the mail and there it was priority mail from USCIS. Yay!
