Congrats Mahdox!!!!

Hi guys,

I passed my interview today.Yay!

Interview experience:

My interview was scheduled at 26 Federal Plaza for 1:40pm. I got there about 12:40pm and waited until 1:00pm before going through the checkpoint and checking in. There were about 10 persons including 2 lawyers waiting for their interview. At 1:40pm a very pleasant ISO called my number and took me to her office for the interview. She asked me to raise my right hand and she swore me in. Afterward she gave me a piece of paper with three questions and asked me to read the first one - Who Can Vote? I read it and then she told me to write Citizens can vote. She then asked me the six questions below:

(1) What is the highest court in the United States

(2) How many amendments does the Constitution have?

(3) What is the name of the Vice President of the Untied States?

(4) Why did the colonist fight the British?

(5) Who makes federal laws?

(6) What group of people were taken to America and sold as slaves?

When the question she told me that I passed and she asked me if I wanted to change my name then went on to asked questions from my application and check off my answers and then she had me sign it. She noted that I was in college and as she put my application in order she asked me about my major which is same as hers. She proceeded to talk about college and careers and she encouraged me to try for a job with immigration right after my oath ceremony. She was so pleasant. We had a great talk for about 50 minutes and then she gave me the paper that stated that I had passed and told me that I should get my oath letter soon; however, in the event of any delays it could take up to two months (protocol) but she was sure that everything would be fine as delays are out of the norm.

So, I am just waiting for my oath ceremony update and hope that there will be no delays. All the best to everyone!

GREAT, Congrats Kcoyclay1... Hopefully you'll hear about your Oath Ceremony soon. Congrats and SIS

That's what I was thinking also, I will let you know how it turns out, and Good luck on your interview Kcoyclay1.

How long did you live in NY immediately before you filed?

Hey Kcoyclay 1

Sorry it took me so long... I went out of town. I've been in NYC off and on. I actually work on a cruise ship for 7 to 9 months at a time for the pass five years, and NYC is where I my parents live so I'm back at least 2 months each year. Before I filed my app I was actually out ofo the country for 5.5 months.

Hey Guys, I have a quick question about the three months residing in a state before you can file your N400 question, filing base on a 5 year residency. Is it based on the last three months before you file or accumatively over the past five years!!!!! Since I lived in NYC a full year after my GC, do I still qualify or not. Any help would be great.

Just got updated. Yes NY move it!

Testing and Interview

Congrats Kcoyclay1, I'm so happy that your case was updated!!! Good luck on your interview.

For all you guys who has gone thru the interview process. Is it better to go an early interview or a later one in the day? Does anyone know.

Na123, Sorry to hear about that awful experience...I hope everything worked out for the best. Good luck

Congrats Wise_hark, I'm so proud of you, and I'm glad that you didnt have to wait too lang for a Oath ceremony. You've waited long enough already.

Hey guys got my interview letter today for the 12th of September...and I have a major question.

For the pass 5 years, I have not filed any state income Taxes because Ive been working on a cruise ship, and on my 3/6 months vacation breaks I would spend my time in Florida and NYC. I used my New York Address for my Federal Taxes since its my parents home, but my Driver's license is from FL...

I really havent lived in either state long enough to pay taxes, and good old FL doesnt have a state tax.

My question is, do I need to file NYC state taxes since I'm filing in NYC...does anyone know?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks Misters!! I hope NYC does move faster, so we all can rap this last phase up and be done.
