    JKLP got a reaction from Danmuji in N400 Citizenship Interview June 2021 Experience   
    Hello everyone. Im posting this to share my experience and as reference for others
    First i was scheduled today 6/7/21 at 9:15am (in San Bernardino, California)
    9:05am- went inside the uscis building (they wouldnt allow you in earlier than 15mins from your appointment time); 
    9:10am- reception check in (i wish i brought my phone with me inside i thought it wasnt allowed but everyone has their phone with them)
    9:40am- i was finally called for my interview
    Officer, asked for my passport (if i had one he said), driver’s license and green card Started with reading test , “today is columbus day” Followed by writing test, “ Columbus day is in October” Then the civic test;  2 rights in the declaration of independence Number of voting members of house of representatives 2 parts of congress what does the judicial branch do who is the chief justice 1 war fought in the 1900s trick question; he asked if i voted before i said no then asked again if i already registered to vote and again i said no Review of what is in your n400form asked for my first name, last name, middle name, then my ssn asked where i live, who i live with; (i had to give my other child’s birth certificate since she wasn’t included in the application initially) Asked if i was working, he then asked a follow up question of what i have been doing for the past 5 years since i just started working recently asked what and where my spouse is working Asked if this is my only marriage, and then if this is my spouse’s only marriage No other additional documents needed Final questions, where the standard if you were in a terrorist org, committed genocide, if convicted, if evaded tax etc he said he will approved my application and to proceed downstairs for my certificate 10:00am - proceeded to the oath ceremony room on the ground floor to fill up form that said nothing change from the time of interview to the oath taking ceremony (questions on the form where the same as the final questions above); they will give your oath taking packet (basically some pamphlets about citizenship and passport, small flag and copy of oath of allegiance)
    10:15am - Oath taking; Got my Certificate of Naturalization 😁
     
    documents i brought with me for the interview are;
    Original documents:
    Marriage Certificate CRBA and Birth Certificate of my children Spouse’s Certificate of Naturalization and passport My passport; green card ( both my 10 yr green card and my 2 yr expired green card from when i was in a cr1 visa) Copies of documents:
    copy of green card copy of the original documents above tax transcripts (4 years including 2020) car insurance mortgage; previous rental lease life insurance utility bills Joint credit card statements copy of passport pages with entry and exit stamps (if you went outside the us), visa page  
    note: they didn’t ask me anything but i brought everything just in case. That office used to not conduct same day oath taking but probably due to covid they do now, Which is more convenient for everyone.
    Good luck everyone!! Thank you to everyone here for guiding me through my immigration process by posting their experiences. And now to pay it forward, i hope i might help someone who wanted an updated interview experience.

    Marriage Certificate CRBA and Birth Certificate of my children Spouse’s Certificate of Naturalization and passport My passport; green card ( both my 10 yr green card and my 2 yr expired green card from when i was in a cr1 visa) Copies of documents:
    copy of green card copy of the original documents above tax transcripts (4 years including 2020) car insurance mortgage; previous rental lease life insurance utility bills Joint credit card statements copy of passport pages with entry and exit stamps (if you went outside the us), visa page  
    note: they didn’t ask me anything but i brought everything just in case. That office used to not conduct same day oath taking but probably due to covid they do now, Which is more convenient for everyone.
    Good luck everyone!! Thank you to everyone here for guiding me through my immigration process by posting their experiences. And now to pay it forward, i hope i might help someone who wanted an updated interview experience.

    JKLP got a reaction from Balaji_v in I751 interview August 2019   
    Hello everyone,
    Visajourney has been a great help to us with the immigration stuff so in return id like to share our i751 interview to everyone wondering what and how it goes.
    Since most are probably gonna go through the interview due to the recent changes i hope it helps.
    Interview schedule was at 8:55am but we arrived and went in at 8am.
    Screening (like the ones on the airport, emptying your pockets, belt and watches on trays and then shoes off) [We did not bring our phones inside since usually its like that with immigration interviews, but the moment we were waiting in the reception area we saw several using their phones even if there's a sign saying no using mobile phones while waiting🤣]
    Reception (where you will give your appointment letter just the 1st page, then wait for your name to be called)
    8:30am we got called in. Swear to an oath etc etc .  He asked for our ids (we gave our driver's license), my expired green card and asked us documents wed like to submit. Then the interview. Here are some of the questions arranged accdg to how the interview went
    1. You have a child together?
    2. Can i have the birth certificate? (They want the copy and original, they will double check stuff from the copy you gave that day to the copy you first submitted to the original)
    3. So tell me, how did you guys meet? (Literally what he asked us)
    4. When did you start seeing each other?
    5. When did you meet each others relatives?
    6. How long have you been living with each other? Who is living with you?
    7. Have you been on a vacation recently? (He asked us twice in between these questions)
    8. Tell me, who were with you on these vacation?
    9. Did you stay at a hotel?where did you go?
    10. Who paid for this trip?
    11. So where is your spouse working? (This is where it seems like the officer was really testing me how well i knew my spouse)
    12. Whats his position? (He then asked my spouse the nature of work)
    13. Does your spouse work overtime?
    14. What's your spouse's annual income?
    15. How much rent do you pay? (Because i gave the lease contract late)
    16. Who pays the rent? How long are you living in this address? 
    17. Do you host parties at your house? (He was joking since our address has a "fiesta" in it)
    16. How old is your child?
    17. When is her birthday?
    18. So i want you to face each other and in 30 secs tell each other what made you decide to marry? (I was so nervous i just started saying whatever comes to mind that i liked and loved about my spouse)
    19. So lets just go over your file.. ( this time i knew we were almost done) he just asked about whats in your i751 application so make sure you memorized everything from your name to your bday, to your socials, address, spouse bday, children's names and bdays etc..
     He then turned his back and gave us a letter saying our application is approved and green card will be delivered in mail after 1month to 90days.
    9:10am we were out the room and back to the reception where the lady was congratulating us probably because of the big smile on our faces.
     
    My only advise is try to relax and be calm. Smile at your interviewer. Adjust to his/her pace and mood, if he's in a lighter mood smile from time to time. They can feel it if your lying or being truthful. Regarding documents we submitted, we gave him latest copies of our bills, most recent photos, lease contract (which was specifically asked on our interview appointment letter), tax documents, health,life and car insurance copies.
     Hope you guys got an idea of the interview from our experience😊
