Arrrrr thanks guys..:thumbs:

Well its been a long long day....got to interveiw at 840am never got inside the building until 900 am..long story , and same old bad set-up by the uscis as per norm.

where they had oaths, fingerprints and interveiws the same day....it was like a dam cattle market...

Anyways....waited and waited then got called around 12.30 pm....yep.. you got it 1230pm and i was outside the building at 840am ready for my interveiw for 850am

Just insane the way they run that joint...

Well got called and looked at the wife and the I.O said with a smile you don't need your wife in the interveiw, then looked at her and said, we won't be long mam i promise you..

He shows me to his office said sorry for the long delay as its be a crazy day....i said yep it looks and sounds that way...at the same time i stayed on my feet knowing he's going to ask me to swear on the oath and all that good stuff..

Then he said please take a seat and move the seat forward if you wish ..i said im fine..

He then ask for my PP/DL/ and P.R Card....which i had in my hand ready to give as we all know thats the first things they want to see...

He then ask for my SS Card....i was ####### I did'nt see that coming so i went into my folder, then to only find out its not in there, so i was checking my wallet, as i was doing this he said, you seem to have gotten yourself in a pickle, i said yep i thought my card was in my folder, he said no im talking about your immigration history...i looked at him and he had a big 10inch folder of my immigration life....i said oh yep i see you got my immigration life story there..he smiled and said so whats all this? denied us entry this 601 waiver, i824, and approved 130 then approved 601 waiver denied 130 then approved 130 and 601 ,,,,i said as you can see long story but keep it short and sweat i was first badly advised and made some mistakes myself.....but its been one hell of a road i can tell ya....he smiled again and said i bet.....so lets see if we can put all this behind you today huh? again with a smile...

i said i sure hope so, i want a divorce from the uscis..he thought that was funny...he said i dont blame you...

He went on to ask me the yes/no Questions on the N-400 application....ask me a few other things like employment and also ask why did i stay outside the usa for 360 days in 2006 i said because i had loose ends to sort out..he said thats fine, as you have met the requirements anyways, but you proberly already know that anyways don't you? i said well ive been around the block with the uscis a few times so i guess yes i did know i met the requirements this year anyways.....again he smiled

He then went on to ask the civics Questions....

There are four amendments to the constitution about who can vote, Describe one of them.

I said anyone over 18 yrs of age can vote....he said anybody? i said well anybody whos a usc...he said correct..

What are the two rights of everyone living in the united states..?

answer Freedom of speech?

The us flag has 50 stars, what do the stars stand for?

i said it means for each star is a us state...

If the president can't be no longer be president who takes his place?

I said the vice president..

who was the president during ww1 ?

i said woodrow wilson....he said you know your history then, i said, im ok...

He said, ive got to ask you this but can you read this for me?

california state has the most people....he smiled and said can you now write this also?....so i did....

He then ask me to sign my name on my pics i sent in with my application and check this form with my details and sign..

He went on to say, that's it....you passed your interveiw and i shall ask my boss to approve your application....

he then held out his hand and shookmy hand and said once your application gets reveiwed by my supervisor, you should get that divorce you been waiting, so long for.. and smiled at me....i said oh yes...

I said thanks very much, we talked smack for a while about forms and waivers ect and i ask him when could the next oath date be...? he said we try to get people in about a month after the interveiw, but this all depends on how busy we are ect, i said hmmmm like today...he said oh yep like today rolling his eyes....as if to say he had his chips also with todays events.

So that's it guys 4 hrs wait for a 20 min interveiw......Im done and got my long awaited N-652 Naturalization Interveiw results form...It's been a long, long jouney for me, to long TBH but now the fat lady i can hear her now down the road at oath....

The I.O was a nice guy, who was layed back and sorta new what is what...

Thanks guys once again for all the well wishes and best of luck to everyone going through this painful exercise we all could do without.:bonk:
