N400 Interview completed - San Diego, CA
Hello all!
Just wanted to share I passed my citizenship exam/appointment yesterday!
It was a relatively easy interview. The officer was lovely, very conversational and put me at ease from the beginning by saying "Well, this is probably a long time coming for you right?" Almost as if he knew I'd pass ;)
The questions he asked on the exam were all ones I had thoroughly studied. If you study the guides that are on the USCIS website and the app, you should be good to go. It is nothing to be overly worried about.
He asked a bunch of the questions on the application. I was tripped up a little by a couple of them (ex: "have you ever presented false documents." I worked illegally when I was undocumented but I didn't have *** papers). He probed for details about every section like my job, my living situation and my marriage. He asked if we had kids and I said no. The he asked "Any pets?" and I answered "Yes, Daisy." He was confused and asked "And Daisy is a ..." Me: "DOG!" That was just a funny, nervous moment and I love it!
And then when it came time to talk about the oath, I am a conscientious objector to military service (for religious reasons) and will not recite the full oath so we talked about that and I answered decisively but still felt a little nervous. He was very understanding and said he sees a lot of cases like mine.
I gotta say, I feel like my officer was a God-send. Him and I had a lot in common (a year apart, went to the same high school briefly, same college!) and he was very nice and easy-going. So, if you're a praying person, pray for the right officer, that's what I did! At the end, he did a drumroll on the desk and handed me the form that says "Congratulations! You have been recommended for approval" or something like that. But since I decided to change my name, my swearing-in ceremony won't happen until November 23. I echo a few people on this message board who feel like it's good news but still, just want to get the certificate in my hands!
Overall, I'd say if you're prepared, don't be nervous. Also, try to give short, concise answers. If the officer is anything like mine, he's understanding and not looking to trip you up. But some might. I can see that as well.
Lemme know if you have any questions!
