Hello all, just had my N-400 Interview today at the DC Field office in Fairfax. They were running behind so I waited a little over an hour past my appointment time. I PASSED THE TEST and got approved for Naturalization! After 23 years as a greencard holder. My oath ceremony is on Saturday!!!

Wear anything that's comfortable and reasonably presentable -- something in between yardwork and tuxedo.  

Thank you! 😊 

Hello all , I have my test on the 16th of February,  I have a pretty good idea of what to wear, I am wondering what you all wore and if you have any suggestion?

Well also not all interviews are the same. It depends on your case and also how much documentation/proof you may have loaded prior to your interview. It would be best to come with extra documentation ready at the interview in case they need something further to help with the decision.  

Thank you! I uploaded pretty much everything online with my application- except for the tax returns. I plan on bringing the originals of everything I uploaded too!

For me the day of was smooth. Actually arrived a bit late but got signed in and told to wait. My name was called after 10 minutes.  Questions were mostly how we met, if we live with anyone or just us, how our families get along, what my spouses birthday was lol, I think that was basically it besides confirming information on the application. I bought extra docs but they didn't need them just out passports, drivers licenses, and green card. I only used the civics test app to study and I was good.

 

 

 

Thank you!! I feel like I am making myself worry unnecessarily!

You could have got citizenship in 2007?

Yeah- I just didn't file for it. I have to be a US Citizen for this job , AND also  now that my children are older, we want to travel the world  and its must easier with a US Passport

Interview was on Feb 29th. Everything went smoothly. interviewing officer was pleasant and genuinely interested in our story. No additional information was required (I brought updated tax and bank info, she said it wasn't needed) went over application to confirm information was correct, did the civics test questions and wrote the sentence in English on the tablet and got the congrats that we were approved. interview was maybe an hour. They were doing an oath ceremony at the same time, I had hoped there would be another that day but no luck. Got scheduled for oath the next morning. Came in early and ceremony lasted about 45 mins. 

 

On to the passport!
