    Good to know that and congratulations!! you are almost done. Does the oath letter doesnt appear in the docs tab like all other letter show up? 

    Thank you very happy to be almost done ;) 

    I am not sure because I am still waiting on that letter and it is not under docu tabs yet. I believe some other filer mentioned that it will show there once they will set a date and time

    Normally the status changes from interview scheduled to Oath ceremony scheduled so what is your your status at the moment? Every case is different i know someone who had his interview end of november and was given an approval letter till to this day waiting for interview. His online status says interview scheduled.

    Just wanted to update everyone. My interview ended 5 mins ago. It was a quick and simple process took me like 8-10 mins, in and out. My appointment was for 8:40, I got there at 8:39 and checked in at 8:45. My number was called at 8:49 and I proceeded with the officer to his office. Took an oath to tell the truth then he proceeded to the speaking and writing test and then the civics test. He asked me 6 questions, I only remember a few like the bill of rights question, the Vice President is next in line, we the people, the Atlantic Ocean is to the east and what makes up the Congress- House of Representatives and senate and what are the two major political parties- the democratic and republican prty. After that he said congrats and he then asked questions from my application. He then said this concludes the interview as he was satisfied with my case it was straight forward. Told me congrats and that he is approving my application. Yay me🎉🎉🥳🥂. On my way out we spoke about the weather because Chicago had a huge snow storm. But that was it. Good luck to the rest of you waiting all the best. 

    Congrats to you as well

    Hello everyone

    Wanted to share my experience. I had my interview yesterday in Chicago office

    I got there earlier however they wont let you in until exactly 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment. Then you go through security check you need to take your shoes off, coat off and anything you brought after that you go to the 2nd floor check in and they give you number. The number wont display on a screen so you need to hear once they will call your number and there are rooms on right and left. My number wasn't called in for about 30 minutes after my scheduled appointment and I was out of the room and done with the whole process starting from entry in to the building and the interview within approx. 1 hour.

    Right after officer called me in I was fingerprinted and they took the picture right after that I was asked to show my documents state ID, passport and a green card. Then I was asked civics questions right away 

    - who makes federal laws

    - when the president cannot serve who becomes the president

    - what are two ways that Americans can participate in their democracy

    - who is in charge of the executive branch

    - federalist papers- name one of the writers 

    - the supreme law of the land 

    Right after that I was asked to read from the ipad: When is Columbus day ?

    and to write on an ipad : Columbus day is in October

    The officer said congratulations you passed :) 

    After that he asked me random  questions from the application the yes and no and he also asked about my husbands name, how did we meet and when did we meet and when did we marry. He also asked for taxes, pictures, and some other documents that I brought, he looked over and made copies.

    He said he is happy with what he got and In the meantime he asked me to check spelling of my name name and to sign that I agree to take the oath and he gave me some paper showing that I passed and I am in line for the oath :) 

    And that was it.

    My status changed right after I left the building to: Oath ceremony will be scheduled 

    I will let you know once I will get the date 

    Good luck to all waiting :)

    I brought what they asked for in the letter and then support to show I'm still married. She didn't ask to see anything.

     

    As to the questions - they really seem to be random. The testing was on an iPad and the iPad randomly generated questions and it stopped after 6 questions since I got them right. A few I remember offhand: What did Susan B Anthony do? When must men register for Selective Service? How old do citizens need to be to vote?

    Thank you :)

    Had my interview today at the Chicago office. I received preliminary approval from the office - she told me that she needed a supervisor review of my case as they had a recent change where all criminal cases need approval - including traffic tickets. I disclosed two traffic tickets on my application. But she stated it is not a disqualifying case and it'll go through. I cannot wait for the status to change online!

    Congratulation :) Can you share what documents and questions they asked you for ? 

    I have my interview next week at Chicago office as well

Made my way to the 3rd floor and checked in with the receptionist. Was seated for 5 mins when my name/ number was called out by the case officer assigned to my case.  Upon entering the room the case officer and I had small talk after which we went over my application and the change of name I requested. Took the civic test, read and write test . Answered the eligibility questions . Signed some forms.  Was approved and given a form to that effect , told I should get my oath notice within 3-4 weeks . The whole process was approximately 15mins from start to finish . Upon checking my case tracker on my way out , it showed I was in line for my oath to be scheduled. 
     

    These are the civic questions asked: 

     

    - What did Susana B Anthony do ? fought for Women’s  right

    I concur with the above reply.  Take any and all documents in their original form if you have them.  My take is that I'd rather go with extra documentation that may not end up being needed rather than find that I don't have something they need.  Knowing my luck, the very document I leave at home will be the one they ask for.  And yes, take everything in original and a copy.  That way you can hand them the copy if they require it. Showing the IO that you have come prepared when they ask for something goes a long way.

    Yes that's true you are 100 % right ;) 

    thank you for your replies

    Hello Chicago filers,

    Quick question regarding the documents to bring for the interview. I'm sure it was mentioned before just cannot find it :) 

    Should I bring original birth certificate and marriage certificate or a copy ? (the letter doesnt say if a copy is sufficient or if the original is required so I am just wondering) 

    Thank you in advance for your help
