You need to wait more than 10 days to notify SSO. Going on Monday will just waste your time.

There might still be a slim chance, now that they have 2 back to back ceremonies on certain dates.
Im hoping, so we could just use 1 car you know, theTraffic and the gas too lol. Anyway, do you have idea on filling up the back of the oath letter? Should we just do it by ourself or it has to be filled up in front of the officer?

Congratulations!! I have also on 11/9, but at 10am.
Thank you! We’re almost done. I’m just curious tho, me and brother have the same priority date and interview date and he actually passed the interview first but until now, no update on his case. I was assuming that we would have the same Oath day too but I don’t think it’s happening.

Did he want the original document and he made a copy? I hope he did, since both me and my wife have only one document we share.
He asked for either original or photocopy of our Marriage certificate. He didn’t keep it, he just looked at it. So you’re good!

Congratulations! Is your green card employment based or marriage based? I am asking because of the marriage certificate you were asked.

Nope, My mom was petitioned by my grandma and i was a derivative coz Im underage. I don’t know either why the IO asked for my marriage certificate.

Yay! I passed!
Everything went smoothly.. I came with my brother who has an interview too. Our appointment was 1:05pm. We got checked in at 12:35 but my brother was told to go to the 3rd floor and I was told to wait in the waiting area A. I don’t know why we got separated. Anyways, it only took him 15mins and he passed too while I’m still waiting. 1:45 finally an IO called me to go to his office, he was nice and he even apologized for the delay. When we got to his office, he told me to put my bag in the chair next to me and to remain standing and he asked me to raise my right hand and swear to tell the truth. He then asked me for my GC,Passport,ID and Marriage Certificate which is good thing I brought it with me. He made a copy of my GC and Passport. He then told me that we will start with Reading and Writing test. He hand me a paper and told me to read it “Who can vote?” Then gave me a paper to write with “Citizen can vote.” IO said you passed the Reading and writing test part. Now we will start with the Civic test then he asked me...
*What group of people was taken to America and sold as slaves?
*How many amendments does the Constitution have?
*Who makes federal laws?
*Why did the colonist fight the British?
*Who is the Vice president of the US?
*What is the highest court in the US?
I answered it all correctly and IO said Congratulations you passed the Civic test. After that he reviewed my N400, he asked me my full name, address, phone#, How did you get here in the US? He even asked me how did your husband got here in the US?is he a lawful permanent resident and when did he become one? Also he asked how and when did me and my husband meet? I wasn’t expecting those questions lol Anyways, a lot of questions, about my kids their birthdays, my husband’s birthday, date of our marriage. Who live with me.. etc. then the yes or no questions, it’s okay as long as you’re telling the truth you will pass. I asked the IO about the Oath Ceremony he told me you might go on October 26 or Nov 9. And to wait for the ceremony letter.
I also received the application for passport that I will bring in to the ceremony.
Best of luck everyone. I hope my experience will help you on what to expect on your interview.

Very easy. Had to read “Who was George Washington?” and write “Washington was the first president.” Then he gave me 6 questions, I answered them all correctly. Can’t remember them all. After that, we went through the application, he made corrections along the way. I had already prepared an addendum to my travel, since I was out of the country after sending in application. He appreciated that. He did not ask for anything else but GC, Passport, ID. I was over prepared with tax returns of last 5 years, marriage certificate and divorce decrees. None of it mattered. I filed under 5 year rule. In and out in about 20 minutes. Even received a passport application packet when I signed in at the reception.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Tomorrow is my interview hopefully it will goes well like yours. Again, Congratulations! 🎉

I passed. Got N-652 "Congratulations! Your application is recommended for approval." IO said I would receive Oath notice in 3-6 weeks.
Congratulations! How was it? Did they ask you for some photos and tax returns?

Hi, I was reading the thread and some of you brought passport pictures in your interview. Do I need to bring some too? I already send my passport photos along with my n400 application. I also read in other thread that you only need to bring passport photos to the interview if you are going to change your name, and I’m not. So im confused right now. My interview is 9/28.

Interview went well.
Arrived to USCIS around 1:30 pm for a 1:55 pm appointment.
Went through the security and was asked if I brought any knifes, guns... items...
Checked in with th receptionist and was directed to wait in Session B waiting area. Waiting areas are quiet and I was waiting until 2:10 pm, an officer came out and escorted me into her office.
She swore me in and started to ask me for passport, green cards and state-issued ID.
She went through my application first and asked me if I was bringing any supplement evidence to support my case such as: court decree, selective service proof...
She did not ask me to sign until I passed my civic and reading/writing tess. The questions are extremely easy.
1) Name 1 state thet borders Mexico.
2) Who is the commander in chief of military.
3) Who wrote Declaration of Independence.
4) Name 3 original states.
5) What are two major political parties in US?
6) What political party of the President now.
Reading outloud: Who elects the Congress?
Write: The People elects the Congress.
I was recommended for approval and she escorted me to the door and we were chatting for 10 mins.
Congratulations!! I will have my interview Sept28 at SF too. I'm nervous but when i saw your post, it gave me an idea what to expect when i get there, hopefully my interview will goes well too.. thanks for sharing your experience.
