Just here to report about my husband's interview experience (he applied under the 3-year rule, his "journey" being CR-1, ROC and now naturalization). He wasn't the best at relaying what happened, but here is the gist of it:

We went in together. The guard downstairs said I could go in the interview with him (I was doubtful) but of course that was not true. I just waited in the (nearly empty) lobby.

A very nice IO came out to get him. She said I should stick around in case she had any questions.

He was in maybe 20 minutes. He said right after he swore to tell the truth he told her about the extra trip to Canada he didn't put on his application and she laughed at his "truthfulness" and said she would add it when they went over that section.

One of the general questions she asked him was when my birthday was and he was WRONG (by 10 days). She said "are you sure...?" and he finally got it right. (That's my husband! The same guy who called me on the wrong day to wish me a happy anniversary.) She was laughing at him.

The questions he remembers (he swears she only asked 3 or 4, not 6):

If the President can no longer serve, who becomes President?

During the Cold War, what was the main concern of the United States? COMMUNISM (this was always his favorite question when he studied, since he comes from a former Communist country)

Who did the United States fight in World War II? (another one he loved when he studied, as he always added "Bulgaria" to the list...)

Reading question: What is the state with the largest population? Writing answer: California is the state with the largest population. [this may have been worded differently...]

She kept basically all the recent evidence of "marital union" that I stuck in the folder - two bank account statements, ALL of our original tax transcripts (four years' worth, 2007-2010), a car insurance document, 2 sets of original boarding passes (to my cousin's wedding last year and to Bulgaria Christmas 2010) and 4 pages of printed photos (8 photos in all) taken since our last USCIS submission (ROC in October 2010). I was surprised she kept all of that. At least she left our original car title (yes I stuck that in there!) and our 2011 tax forms that I haven't filed yet.

So when he came out, he said it all went well... when the IO came out to get the next person, I went over and asked her what the next step was, how long we would have to wait for the letter about the oath ceremony and she said 2 or 3 weeks.... then we went out to celebrate at the closest bar and I read the paper that she gave us... it did NOT have the "congratulations" box checked. It had the box checked that said he passed all the tests but also the box checked that said "A decision cannot yet be made about your application." WHAT THE - ?! Was he approved or not?! I was ready to march back in the office and ask what was up, but after a drink gave up on that idea...

I saw a friend about an hour later who just had his oath ceremony a week ago and he said he had the same box checked (and applied under the five year rule). I have decided to just not worry about it.

So now we just wait again for another letter to come.

I wouldn't read too much into it! Like what Huffy said, a supervisor probably just has to sign off on it or something. You guys are almost done!!! So yay~~~~ for that!!

Congrats Randye80! Portland must have been just behind Fresno because I was done by noon!

After turning down a same-day oath ceremony last week I checked my phone yesterday and saw a voicemail message from immigration asking me to call them about my oath ceremony. It turns out that as they were entering my information into the system a flag popped up that my fingerprints were going to expire before my oath ceremony. They gave me two options, do my oath ceremony the following day or come in and redo my fingerprints and then get back in line for an oath ceremony. So, tada, I'm now an American! I'm really happy that they called to give me the option even if it involved some last minute scrambling with my and D's work.

The oath ceremony took longer than I expected - mostly because they wanted the applicants in a particular order and since there were 36 of us (from 21 different countries) that took a while. I was expecting it to start more promptly. My favourite part was that near the beginning of the ceremony we all stood up one at a time and said what country we were from, which was neat as it gave an introvert like me a chance to know where everyone else was coming from. In my ceremony Russia was the clear winner especially if you include the former parts of the USSR. There were four other Canadians there besides me. All in all, I'm thrilled to be done this stage of paperwork. Next up - passport application!

ETA: Took so long I was cross-posting with Blessed. I fixed it!

Congrats Kathryn!!!! :dance:

Greetings from Boston! I had my interview this morning, and was approved..this is what happened:

We arrived 10 minutes before (my appointment was at 7.30am) and we sat in the waiting room for about an hour before I was called in. The IO had the entirety of every single form I'd submitted throughout the years, a good couple of inches of paper! I had to raise my right hand and say I was going to tell the truth. He went through the N400 form and asked a couple of questions about the information there. He then asked me the civics questions and wrote down my answers, then I had to read out a sentence 'Which state has the most people?' and write 'California has the most people'. Then he went through some of the character questions, not really pausing after each one, but I answered no to each one, and yes to upholding the constitution.

Then I was given a sheet of paper saying I was approved and to go back into the waiting room. I waited for about 20 minutes and received a yellow letter with my oath date (May 10th) and a whole bunch of 'Welcome the the USA' paperwork. All done! My oath is in Faneuil Hall in Boston which is where America was born, so that's a nice touch (even if I am English lol).

Thank you so much to everyone on Visa Journey, your advice and the guides have been fantastic! Good luck to everyone still waiting

Congrats!!! :dance:

I'm so happy!!! :dance: Thank you Jesus!!! And thank you all for your support!!!!!!!

Yay! :dance: :dance:Glad you passed and were approved.

Haha! That would have been funny if it had have been the first question though, right?

I know right! That would have kinda freaked me out!

Congrats Blessed! Good to hear that you had a smooth interview experienced:)

Thanks Pinktulips! I was surprised I wasn't asked for anything else other than my DL, Pspt and GC after hauling all my evidence there!!! It's all good though... I ain't complaining!

Congratulations Blessed N Favored!! I will be one of those people driving into Dallas from far away and hopefully will get a morning slot. Thank you for the great write up, and I hope you have your oath ceremony as soon as possible!

Thanks Sydney!! Waco's definitely far! I'm only 15-20 minutes away from USCIS naturalization center and I'm glad they consider people's distance that way they don't have to make 2 trips especially if coming from far. I hope you get a morning slot too. The oath ceremony is usually held at about 1.30pm. Yeah, I hope I have my ceremony soon too! Who knows, it might just be a Dallas VJers "get-together" if we all get scheduled for the same oath day... well maybe not all but hopefully one or two!

BIG Congratulations Blessed N Favored!

Thanks for posting detail interview experience! This will help us alot when we have our interview next week.

Once again, congrats and best wishes for your rest of citizenship journey.

Hey you Stranger!!! Thanks much! You're next in line!

Congratulations Blessed N Favored!!

I am so glad that people are posting their whole experiences here. It really helps to know what to expect. You should also copy what you posted here in the reviews (http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/) for the Dallas local office - I read ALL of the stories about naturalization at the San Francisco USCIS office!!

I am more nervous than my husband is, even though he is the one going in to the interview! I am not worried about the basics of proving our marriage, etc but I am worried about some of the language in all those morality and oath questions at the end (for example: "abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any ... potentate..." say wha'??). I am hoping he doesn't get hung up on words he is not familiar with. I have been going over the application with him repeatedly but still there are a LOT of unfamiliar words there. Anyway, I made sure he knows to answer "No" to all the first questions (Moral Character, etc) and "Yes" to all the questions at the end (Oath Requirements). Blessed (or anyone else who has been through the interview) - did they read all these questions and have you answer? I thought I have read elsewhere that some IOs do that...

OK, here is the bad news - I was looking at hubby's passport last night and saw a stamp from a date that wasn't included on his application! We had completely forgotten that he went on a work trip to Canada for two days in 2010. #######. So he is going to have to tell the IO to add that. grrrrrrrr. I am actually annoyed with my husband that he didn't check this. Oh well.

I'll come back and post how it went tomorrow...

Don't worry, he will be fine. For the most part the IO's are pretty much nice. Speaking based on my experience, the IO literally went through the entire application question by question and as far as the YES/NO questions towards the end, he kinda paused or went a little slow on some and checked with me to see if I understood what he was asking then he picked up his pace. For the most part, they will try to accommodate everybody from what I saw.

As far as your hubby's passport, I would suggest he let's the IO know about the date that was forgotten. He can do that when he gets to the travel section of the application. I can't wait to hear how it all went!! He'll do great!! Y'all are almost there!!

Congrats Blessed N Favored!!

Thanks Pepper!!

Congrats Blessed !!!

Thanks Last Stand!!!

Congratulation Blessed and Favored!!!!

Let us know when you get your Oath Letter.. I wonder how long it will take...

I hope I get to do the Oath the same day.. we shall see...

Thanks Jade! Long time no talk!!! Most definitely!!! I'll keep y'all posted! You're next in line! I hope you get same day oath! You're chances are higher!

We're done, Fresno Oath Ceremony just concluded!

Congrats Randye80!!!

All the best Blessed N Favored ..... break a leg (if you can do it literally ... tht would be awesome ;) :bonk: )

Yeah, I wish I could literally!!! Thanks DS!! You're next in line... My IO was nice though so I had second thoughts.

PS. I am hoping that Blessed is currently having her interview and will have good news shortly.

Yes, I was and I passed! Yay~~~!! Thanks Huffy for quizzing me last minute! I had your questing memorized hoping it was my first only to be disappointed!

Hi guys!!! Thank you all for your best wishes, prayers and support!

I thought I would write my experience since there are hardly any posted online for Dallas filers. So here’s my “report”…

I got to the USCIS testing center at about Noon. My interview was scheduled for 1.45pm so I pretty much hang out at the parking lot (in my car) doing my last minute "studying". I walked into the building at around 1.06pm and there was barely anyone in the security check point. The security officers were nice and friendly. The gentleman asked for my appointment letter and for a second I thought maybe I came on a wrong date (he was like so you got an appointment today? I was like... ummmm today is the 10th right? He paused and looked at his watch then smiled and said... Yeah, today's the 10th!!! Anyways, he asked me to put my cell phone, camera and any other electronic devices in a bin, my purse and my "evidence" bag through the machine, and the rest was the same drill as going through airport security. I was then directed to go upstairs to check in. Once upstairs I checked in with this lady... very nice and friendly at the desk. She asked for my appointment letter and asked me to have a seat and wait for my name to be called. That was about 1.15pm.

The waiting area was packed, so at about 1.40ish pm an IO called my name. He led me to his office where he asked me (before I sat down) to swear to tell the truth, and I did. He then asked me for my Greencard, Passport (if I had one) and my Driver’s License then he let me sit down. He introduced himself as Officer Garcia. Then he asked me to state my full names, date of birth, social security number, address, phone number, etc. He pretty much went over my application and verified all the information on it. Omg… my entire file was right infront of me containing all my “stuff” from the beginning of my immigration journey!!! Anyways, he went as far as how I came to the States…. Asked for the reason for my divorce of which I stated and employment and he seemed intrigued by what I do! Lol So we kinda talked about that for a while. Finally, he was done with that part and started the testing portion.

Questions asked were as follows (Not necessarily in this order):

1. What is an amendment?

2. What is the supreme law of the land?

3. Who vetoes bills?

4. What do we show loyalty to when we say the pledge of Allegiance?

5. Who did the United States fight in World War II?

Then before he asked me the last question he paused to chit chat (lol) something about my job then he was like ok~ last question, hopefully last question (I just smiled).

6. What is the capital of Texas?

For my reading test I was asked to read, “Where is the white house?”

For my writing test, “The white house is in Washington, D.C.”<br style="mso-special-character:line-break"> <br style="mso-special-character:line-break">

So he finished by letting me sign some paper work and my photo then congratulated me saying I passed. He handed me my Interview results form. He stated it might be 4-5 weeks before the oath and walked me to the door. Overall he was great! I had fun! I walked out of the building by 2pm. Almost there people!!! Congrats to all who have made it this far and for those who have had any kind of progress. Hang in there folks!!! We are almost done!!! YAY~!

When coming downstairs I saw folks being sworn in at the oath ceremony. They were clapping, taking pictures some were recording the whole event! Yay~~ for them! We are next!

For those Dallas filers still waiting for their interview, you will most likely have same day oath if your interview is scheduled and done with by 11am. So that’s the good news for some. I got the afternoon slot coz I live so close to the USCIS office and they give the morning slot for those living far. HTH

Alrighty… that’s a wrap! xxx

if it is this long .... probably right now she is in oath

Yeah... I wish! I was busy running around shopping! It's my lil' therapy after dealing with USCIS.

Ok folks.... *whispering* I'm in the building chilling for my name to be called! Yes, it is crowded here and I walked past the oath ceremony room!! Good news for Dallas filers we do have same day oath but.... there is a catch to it! Stay tuned!!

Omg!!! Was that part of the questions? =-O

Jus' kidding!!

Reporting live from the scene!!!....... I got here pretty early.... let's just say hmmm over an hour early! I know~~ I know~ but hey I did't wanna take any chances just incase something happened.... traffic.... getting lost lol etc. Anyways... wow it was crowded when I drove in. Seemed like folks were just standing outside. I am still chilling in my car kinda going over my questions... last minute studying! :-) Oh~ for all my Dallas peeps.... the location ain't that confusing as some have stated on other forums. Stay tuned y'all.... I'll keep you posted! "Hwaiting!!!" :-)

Good Luck in your interview today Blessed and Favored... and everyone that has it this week... yay!!

Thanks Jade!!! Thanks guys for all your best wishes!!!! I'll keep y'all posted!!!! "Hwaiting!!!!" ^^ (My bad... that's Korean)

Nice good luck, hopefully you will get a quick date

Good luck to all the members with Interview this week - blessed (tomorrow), fuzzymiss and serenitynow (thursday).

Awwwwww...... thanks DS!!!

Got the email below on Friday. Finally! Thought Los Angeles was never going to move.

Application Type: N400 , APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION

Your Case Status: Testing and Interview

Your N400, APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION is now scheduled for interview. You will receive a written notice with a time and place for your interview. You should receive this notice within 14 days. If you do not receive this notice within 14 days from April 6, 2012, please call customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for further assistance. If you move, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address.

Yay!!!! 'Bout time! Glad you finally got some great news!

Hi I'm a December filer from NYC and I've been in line for interview since march 6! So is not just only Los Angeles :( I'm tired of waiting.

Oh wow!!!!! Well, I hear NY is pretty slow. Crossing my fingers for you. Maybe you should give them a call and see what's going on. I'm guessing they are just overloaded with cases. Hang in there though! Almost there!

Got a frustrating email today that I have to go for FP now. I thought they waived it as it was taken within 15 months of filing application. It has been 3 months since I filed application and was expecting to see IL instead of this useless paper.

FRUSTRATING!!!

Yeah, that sucks!!!! Well at least we now know they are working on your case and not just collecting dust on someone's desk. Either way I hope it goes faster for you from now on!!! Hang in there!!!

Oh USA82 that sucks. I hope that once you get your fingerprints done everything else goes quickly.

In my news, I PASSED!!! Portland has same-day oath ceremonies but sadly D and I had work-things we couldn't miss this afternoon, so I'm in the queue for a new oath time. I'm so close to being done, I can't wait for all of the paperwork to be over. For anyone who wants to play the at home game, here are the questions I was asked:

Congrats Kathryn!!!! You are almost done!!!!

Almost there

Got our interview letter today & will take same day oath.

Then only one more step....Passport Office for expedited service.

Then off to visit my wifes parents as they are in their 80's & 90's now....They too are counting the days

Good luck everyone!

Congrats on getting your IL and oath date!!!

Had my interview today. It was a great experienced, a stress free indeed! The entire process lasted less than 30 mins. The IO was nice and very professional. He verified all the information that was indicated on my application. He asked me 6 questions that I answered correctly.

Questions are:

What is one promise you make when you become a USC?

Who is the governor of your state now?

Where is the Statue of Liberty?

Name two U.S holidays.

What movement tried to end racial discrimination?

Who is the first president?

He gave me a piece of paper and asked me to read it.

"Who lives in the White House?"

He handed me another piece of paper and instructed me to write what he say.

" The President lives in the White House"

After that, he asked me: what do you think of the interview? I answered, I think I'm doing good. He said: do you think so? Or you do so? Lol!

He then printed the paper that says I'm recommended for approval. That's it! I'm looking forward to hear an update for my oath ceremony soon!

To the rest of January 2012 filers, good luck to all of you. Im hoping that you all have a good interview experience without any delay or unexpected problems that you might encounter.

Congrats Pinktulips!!! So happy for you!!!!

Got my Oath Ceremony letter today. Updated the list with my date. :dance:

Awesome news!!! Yay!

At least you have been moved onto the next step. Hopefully it won't be too much longer before you and USA82 get your interview letters.

Speaking of getting notices... I just logged into the USCIS website and got this lovely message:

:dance:I am hoping it's for the April 22nd Southern California ceremony.

Congrats Huffy!!!! Almost at the finish line!!!!

I am on same stage as you Rosie

Hang in there guys!!! It's prolly your local office that's backed up but good news is y'all are in line for interview schedule! Better than being stuck in the previous stages.
