Los Angeles N400 Interview
I attended my N400 Interview and my Oath Ceremony recently so I thought I would share my time line and briefly my interview experience.
Applied via snail mail - November, 2019
Biometrics Appointment - 12-12-2019
Interview Appointment letter - 12-6-2020
Interview Appointment - 1-6-2021
I got to the federal building about 40 minutes early, it took 10 minutes to go through security and to the counter on the 8th floor.
Best place I found to park around there was Lot 2, enter on Temple street between Alameda and San Pedro street, $9 flat fee for the day.
I got up to the window and a photo was taken (Make sure you fix your hair, clothing etc before walking up to the window for the photo because that will be the photo on your Naturalization Certificate, found out the hard way, don't ask....) then I was instructed to wait in a waiting room for my number to be called.
My name was called about 45 minutes later and a lady officer greeted and walked me into the interview room. The interview was pretty much routine, sworned in then civics test, gone through information on the N400 application and that was it.
My interview officer was so very nice and patient with me. She took the time to explain the process every step of the way and I did not feel rushed or pressured at any point.
The whole interview took maybe 15 minutes (felt like 10) and she told me that she was approving my N400 application.
She explained that during the COVID pandemic they do not want to bring people back in for the Oath Ceremony but instead will perform the Oath Ceremony the same day and sent me to RM 1001 for my Oath Ceremony and to collect my Naturalization Certificate.
Due to technical issues they were having that morning, I did not leave with my Naturalization Certificate till 3:15pm so set aside the entire day for the interview and the Oath Ceremony just in case.
Everyone I interacted with that day were all very nice and helpful so don't stress too much, just relax and as long as you are telling the truth ( they already knew the answers to the questions they were about to ask you before you walk into the interview room ) you will be fine.
Being able to read fellow N400 applicants' experiences was very helpful during my year long wait for my interview appointment, I hope the above summery of my interview will be helpful especially to those in the Los Angeles area.
Good luck with your N400 journey and take care.
Happy New Year everyone!
