Rating:  | Review Topic: Naturalization
I'm so relieved and happy i passed the interview process. We thought we were going to be super late (appt was at 8:45 am) because there were so many accidents and part of the freeway was shutdown... it was so stressful watching the 30+ minutes add onto on the GPS time of arrival, but luckily we left early enough in case something went wrong with the traffic i found out that public parking was available in the same building as the USCIS San Diego offices so that saved so much time.
We (hubby, kiddos & I) got there about 10 min early.
We went through securityshowed interview letter and ID (really professional, courteous and friendly with my kids) and then checked in with my N400 interview notification letter. They gave me a form to fill in with my name etc. For to prepare the naturalization certificate.
I was called in 5 minutes later and my husband and kids waited in the waiting area. The Officer Interviewing me was really friendly, said hi, how are you.. followed by "what is all that? " referring to the notebooks of evidence. He seemed a little surprised and I answered him with the letter said to bring evidence and original documents. He smiled and said ok and asked if i was ready for the interview.
I was sworn in and he started the interview by verifying my name, Date of birth etc with my drivers license, green card and latest passport.
He wanted to know:
how i entered the USA (k1 fiance visa), how long have i been in the US,
how long i lived at each address,
Who lives at our present address (Hubby, kids, dog and I)
How long we were married (asked for certificate)
Is my hubby a citizen (asked for certificate)
Any kids (asked for certificates)
How many times each of us were married.
Confirmed if i had travelled out of the country since submitting the application And wanted to know the reason for my trips out of the US.
He asked What I do for a living/how i support myself financially.
What is my hubby 's occupation, how long he'd been in that profession and at his current job, who was his employer.
Then we did the testing section, i had to read a sentence
"Canada is north of the U.S."
Then he dictated a sentence for me to write "The U.S. is South of Canada"
The civics part luckily i got the first 6 questions correct and he stopped that part.
Then continued to go through the application - a series of yes/ no questions. And had to sign some forms.
Then i got a paper stating that the interview process being recommended for approval.
He made a copy of my drivers license and walked me out.
It was a great experience and I was totally over prepared with all the evidence.
Hopefully the wait for the letter for the oath ceremony wont be too long.
Thanks for all your posts and updates it really helped me prepare and calm my nerves!!!
Good luck I hope things speed up & everyone gets their interviews soon!
