I had my N400 interview and Oath ceremony at the Portland, ME Office.
Interview Experience:
I arrived 15 minutes prior to my appointment and I got through security quickly. Once you're through security you will go to the waiting room to the right. There are lots of seats and bathrooms to the back of the waiting room. My IO, Jeremy was extremely prompt and called me in for my appointment bang on my appointment time. You'll follow the IO to their office, where they will ask you to raise your right hand and swear in for your interview. After that is done they will get you to answer the reading and writing portion of the civics test on the iPad in front of you. Then, they will generate your civics questions and ask you them before typing your answer into their computer. Once the civics portion is concluded they'll ask any questions they have about your application, or confirm your information on there, then ask you the yes/no questions. You'll then review your inform... read complete review

Background : married with USC while in removal proceeding.
i-130 never been touched or approved for 19 months, tried everything like : call uscis, chat emma, asked helped from local congressperson, even when it’s outside processing time, USCIS never approved my case. I think also because I applied during that dark time in 2020 ( many 2020 filer still waiting and its not just me) and the only reason I got interview is because I filed i-485 in Feb 2022 with understanding that my i-485 cant be approved without removal proceeding being dismissed ( my lawyer said ICE / IJ no longer used the word termination anymore ).
6/28/22 interview scheduled at 1.15 pm, I showed up at 12.50 pm, super empty office, checked in, gave the checked in staff my interview letter , no need to take out my shoes because I wear dressed shoes, and wait. the immigration officer called my name at 1.30 pm. She brought me & my husband to the office.
She asked for :... read complete review

The interview was scheduled for 1pm. We arrived at the office at 12:20 thinking that we would be able to advance the interview, as we had another appointment at 2:30, but the office was closed for lunch between 12 pm-1pm. Around 12:50 the door was opened, we passed through security, which instructed us to put the interview letter in a tray on the counter and wait.
Around 1:15 we were called by the officer, he explained what the interview would be like (we would take an oath, he would check the information on I-485, ask me to leave the room to ask my husband some questions and then call me back to finish).
We took the oath, he took a picture and fingerprints, asked for IDs, when I handed over my passport he noticed that I had 2 visas (K1 and visitor) and said “even with a tourist visa you did the right thing, which is the K1, that's good!". He started to check my personal information and then some of the YES?NO questions. Then he asked me to leave th... read complete review

The interview was scheduled for 10 am and we got there around 09:20. The officer called my husband and I around 09:30. He introduced himself, we took the oath, asked for our ids and took my picture and fingerprint. After that he politely asked me to step out of the room so he could talk to my husband alone first. It took around 10 minutes, while I was away the officer looked at pictures with took and asked how we met and the layout of our apartment (which he didn’t ask me).
I came back to the room he asked me a little about how we met, why we moved states and then started going over the whole form I-485 with me asking for info about me (name, date of birth, city of birth and everything that is included in the form), about my husband and date of our marriage. Before he made all the yes or no questions he made sure to tell me that was standard procedure and he had to ask them all.
After that he asked me if I wanted to add any more proofs of relationship to the file a... read complete review

The interview took about an hour
We were both asked to come into the room and was sworn in and explained what would happen. Then my husband was asked to step out and the uscis agent started asking me questions about our life. The questions were simple everyday questions about how we met, about our life together, what we do, how we live, there was questions about our religious beliefs, about our families, work we do, our routines. There was even some funny questions about what meats I have in the freezer and if we have a coffee maker at home. Then they asked him back in and she asked him questions based of the conversation we had just had. Overall it was a professional, calm experience. Everyone was nice! My husband received his green card approval, July 3, 2019 and July 12, 2019 we received it in the mail!!! He can finally work!! We waited 7 months for the interview and received his green card the same time as his work/travel cards came 🤪😜
