Hi Guys,

I attached my interview experience, I posted a few days late because my little daughter got sick a day after my interview, fortunately she is well and healthy now.

The interview was very smooth and faster, but, I noticed, at the Newark office if you have an appointment in the morning be prepared to spend the whole day there, otherwise if it is at the afternoon the waiting time is no longer.

My appointment was at 11:15 am, I came around 10:35; I was called at 12:50, the interviewer swore me in, asked me for my ID, green card and passport and then proceeded to review the N-400 form, asked me a few questions from the application itself, asked me if I had filed my taxes, about any arrests, convictions, traffic tickets in my past, she went over the yes/no questions one by one. I told her to update my travel info, checked my passport and wrote the dates in the form. Then the speaking, reading, and civics tests, it was very, very easy, but I was very nervous.

I signed the forms, pictures, and other sheet with a yes /no questionnaire about if I changed my mind since the interview. She gave me that sheet and the naturalization interview results, total time: around 25 minutes (1:15 pm), she sent me back to the waiting area and wait for my name to be called. I was called at 3 pm; I gave back the oath sheet, review the naturalization certificate, give up my green card and, he asked if I have another expired GC, he gave me a green envelope and asked me to send it back to the Newark office with the card, then sent me to the ceremony room, there wait about 30 minutes.

The Oath ceremony took place around 4:00 pm. More than 30 people from different countries reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, singing the National Anthem and the Oath of Allegiance to becoming a U.S. citizens.

I felt very emotional to end this immigration journey.

Good luck to everyone who is waiting for interview and oath and thanks a lot for your help.

Congratulations Nana!

Have you already applied for your passport?

They are mandatory.

ICE uses that information to verify your identity if they have reasons to believe that the passport holder's identity and the passport itself are not a match. ICE officer may ask you informally your mother's/father's name just to confirm ID.

Good luck Javicon,

please let me know your experience, my interview will be the next Monday

Hello everyone.

I had my interview AND oath ceremony today. Tonight I'm a happy, newly minted U.S. citizen!

I arrived 30 minutes earlier for the interview. I presented my appointment notice and I was told to wait. My name was called 2 hours after the scheduled time.

The officer was a nice gentleman and he apologized for the long wait, which was apparently due to some system issues. He swore me in and then proceeded with the proper interview.

He asked me about my work. He then proceeded with the civics test. The questions were:

How old do citizens have to be to vote for president?

What is the rule of law?

What ocean is on the west coast?

What is freedom of religion?

What do we show loyalty to when we say the Pledge of Allegiance?

Who makes federal laws?

Then he asked me to read: How many U.S. Senators are there

Then asked me to write: There are one hundred senators.

He then asked me for my green card and passports. He asked me about my travels over the last 5 years and asked if I stayed out of the country longer than two months (which I hadn't). He seemed satisfied and then went over my application. He asked me a few questions from the application itself, asked me if I had filed my taxes, then asked me about any arrests, convictions, traffic tickets in my past (all answered No), then asked if I registered for Selective Service (answered No, I was over the age limit). Then went over the yes/no questions one by one.

He asked me to sign the forms, shook my hand and congratulated me. He asked me to go back to the waiting area and wait for my name to be called. Total interview time: 25 minutes.

I was called to one of the service windows about 30 minutes after the interview ended. I was pleased when the rep showed me my naturalization certificate and asked me to review that dates were correct and names were spelled correctly. He then took it back and asked to give up my green card.

The Oath ceremony took place at 3:00 pm. 38 people from 24 different countries reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and becoming U.S. citizens. It was a very emotional end to my immigration journey.

Good luck to everyone who is waiting for their interview!!

Nana, thanks for the good energy and I wish you all the best on your interview next Monday!

My interview has been scheduled for April 20th.

Congrats, you are almost done.

I was waiting for your post because I'm gonna travel to Colombia and we have the same field office, and according with your timeline when you receive an update in your case in one week or earlier I receive something on mine, I know, that's no rule, with USCiS you never know, but...

I hope my interview date will be after April 8.

Thanks Nana,

Your notification will be coming soon!

Based on other Newark timelines I'm estimating my interview date will be in about a month. Your interview date will most probably be after April 8th.

March 13, 2015

Received this email today:

Your Case Status: Testing and Interview

On March 12, 2015, we scheduled an interview for your Form N400, APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION, Receipt Number NBC*xxxxxxxxx. We will mail you an interview notice. Please follow any instructions in the notice.

February 3, 2015

My case was put in line for interview on January 22. I thought i would receive text and email confirmation so I didn't bother to check until today after I saw Nana098's update. We are in the same field office.

Bringing a valid, unexpired passport to your AOS interview is recommended. In case that you need temporary proof of residence, (I-551 stamp) they won't put it in an expired passport. I think that you have plenty of time to go to your local consulate and get a new passport. Good luck!!

November 12, 2008

I finally received my welcome letter in the mail yesterday, 4 months after my AOS application was approved at the interview. Somehow, my file was sent to storage without being updated in the system. Fortunately I had received the I-551 stamp in my passport and I was able to travel, but the Social Security office and NY DMV did not accept the stamp when I tried to update my documents.

A little advise for those with upcoming interviews, if you are offered the stamp after the interview, it is worth the 1 hour wait to get it. It may be the only proof you may have for a while if someone makes a mistake, like it happened in my case....

July 18, 2008

Hello everyone.

I had my AOS interview in Garden City, NY on July 10th. Fortunately everything went well and I was approved. It has been a week and I haven't seen any updates in my cases online (still shows 6/9/08 as LUD date). I haven't received anything in the mail either. The officer mentioned that I would receive a welcome letter within a week and my GC afterwards.

My question is:

Has anyone had a similar experience either in Garden City or any other office?

Is this something I should worry about? I plan on traveling around the middle of August. I really don't want to have any trouble at the POE.

By the way, forgot to mention that I got the I-551 stamp in my passport.

Thanks everyone for your input.
