Citizenship

Hello guys,

I attended my interview and I'm ready to share my experience. I hope it can be beneficial to you and help you in some way. :)

So, I was in front of the USCIS office half an hour early and needed to wait for 15 minutes before entering the building. I went trough security and to the 3rd floor. I checked in at the clerk's desk and showed my appointment letter. She did some search in the system, stamped my letter, gave me a number, and said for me to wait to be called by the immigration officer. After no more than 5 minutes the officer called my number and we went to her office. She was very nice and accommodating. I was stressed out and nervous and her positive attitude calmed me down. The interview was in person. We were both in the same office, wearing masks and there was a plexiglass barrier that separated us. The IO swore me in and told me to sit in the chair. She also requested my past and current passports, green card, and driver's license. She compared the information from my passports with their system. After that she told me to remove my mask briefly so she can take a photo, and had my index fingers biometrics. She started the interview with the English language portion of the test. I answered 6 question correctly, read a short sentence, and wrote another one on the tablet. Then she continued with questions from my application. I'm going to write you the things I remember. Also she asked the questions in a random order. Some of them were: Full legal name, do I want to change my name, how many times have I been married, dates of my last trip outside the US, whether or not I stayed more than 6 month abroad, my address and with whom I live on that address, how tall I am etc.. Honestly I expected a lot more questions from that part of the application. She didn't request to see any documents I had prepared nor any originals of the documents I submitted with my application. The IO then started asking me the Yes / No questions from the N-400, again not all of them, and in random order. Before she started, she told me that she expects a Yes/No answer. I want to mention that she asked me all of the Yes questions. Also, she didn't ask me of any word definitions. After we were done with this part she, told me that I passed the English test and to check on the tablet that all the information she changed on my application was correct and to sign on the bottom with the stylus pen, then she changed the screen information and told me to sign that I'm willing to take the oath of allegiance. There was one more thing to do that did not require signature, and that was to check, if the information they're going to use for the certificate is correct. And that was everything. She walked me out and told me to check my account for updates. I thanked her and walked out. By the end of the day I saw that my application was approved and today I saw that they scheduled my oath ceremony. I don't know the exact date, yet.

Wish you all good luck and please let me know if you have any questions. :)
