    Keigwyn got a reaction from Laura & Kyle in N-400 January 2013 Filers   
    Thanks!
    Arrived about 30 minutes early for the interview and went through security, got my interview letter stamped and was told to go to the seating area near window 7. My heart sank when I saw the number of folk waiting in that area, so I sat down and was immediately called to the window. This was just to hand my letter in and be told to listen for my name being called by a closed door.
    So I started the waiting process, a lot of folk were coming out and sitting back down. I found this a little odd, but all of these centers work in different ways. After about 40 mins an officer came out with Oath letters for about 10 people, called out their names and handed them out!
    Five minutes later I got called in. I was asked for my drivers licence, green card and passports. The officer was very friendly and we went through my n400. When it came to additional trips since the application he only wanted to know the days I spend out of the US which was 6. We never looked at the passports.
    Then it was onto the test;
    6 questions:
    Who wrote the declaration of independence
    Who is the commander in chief
    Name a state bordering Mexico
    Name 3 of the original colonies
    What are the political parties of the US
    and one I cant remember.
    He then said I had passed and said you come from the U.P. right? I said yes (the U.P. is Upper Michigan near Lake Superior, and it is a long way from Detroit (8 hour drive))
    He said I was scheduled for the Oath ceremony on May 24 in Marquette Post Office (some 60 miles from me), so they must do some things in advance! They only do about 2 Oath ceremonies in the U.P per year. So he went to another office, got the paperwork for the Oath filled it in and gave it to me! (3 min wait)
    So, this happy camper, just walked out with a smile on his face, journey almost done!
