Questions started off easy (ie who is governor) and got hard (ie more historical). Then I had to read a question out-loud and write a simple sentence answering the question I read out-loud. Finally went through all the yes/no questions and she informed me that she was going to recommend me for approval. She asked me to wait outside and after 20 min, I received my approval and information for same day oath ceremony My advice - read and practice the interview questions provided

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
