Interview:
I had my interview rescheduled for Jan 18, 2023 at 6:30 AM. Just in case anyone receive their notice with this early time and think it was a mistake, it was not.
I have arrived with my husband, but they didn't let anyone other than applicants in. I got a really nice officer, we talked for a minute, answered the yes/no questions and did the Civics Exam (questions below). He asked if we have traveled, which we did and I had an updated list for him. Also, he asked if I have any other family in the USA with me.
The only thing that I would definitely make sure to bring is your tax transcripts that you can get within minutes online from the IRS website (if you have an account). I have been asked if we ever owed any taxes, I said no (which is true), and the officer said that "Oh, but it says here that you owe the X amount", which was the exact amount we had paid immediately after filing our taxes in April 2022. So, I said that no, we had paid it and I have my tax transcripts with me and I can even pull up my bank statement on my phone to show him the payment, because luckily we did paid it via online transfer. He asked me to show him the payment on my phone (I didn't print out the bank statements, because I sent it while applying online), I found the transaction, he approved and everything was fine. But, I don't understand why IRS would flag us saying that we owe something that we have paid immediately. Make sure to always come prepared.
Interview took about 30 min and I have been approved right at the spot. He said that they would mail my oath ceremony notice in 2-3 weeks and I was on my way. After that I have received my oath notice same day after 12PM set for Jan 27, 2023. Just a week after the interview! Super fast.
Questions asked:
1. The House of Representatives has how many voting members?
2. Who vetoes bills?
3. Under our Constitution, some powers belong to the states. What is one power of the states?
4. What are the two major political parties in the United States?
5. What does the President’s Cabinet do?
6. What is one responsibility that is only for United States citizens?
To write:
Alaska is the largest state.
If you pass 6 questions they stop and don't continue asking any more questions. I don't remember what they asked me to read but it was one sentence, really short and simple.
Oath:
So, in Las Vegas there is two places were Oath takes place. The US District Court (on Fridays) or in the immigration office (on Thursdays). I have received my Oath for Friday, so in the court and here is how it went:
My Oath Notice time was 1PM. We came in with my husband about 45 min early, even though the notice says to not come 30min earlier, I just like to be early in case of anything. There was street parking $1 per hour - I would recommend to get at least 3 hours on the meter. They let me and my husband in, so family and friends are allowed there. Around 12:30 there was a long line forming already to get in to the courthouse, so we've avoided it by being a little early. Security also told us, that we are super early because even though it say 1PM we are not going to start till 2PM. He sure was right.
They let us in exactly at 1PM and started to check everyone in, taking the filled out forms with our signatures and THE DATE OF THE CEREMONY, our Green Cards new and old, any Employment Authorization cards and any other documents they may have gave you. We had only 54 people at the ceremony and it took us exactly an hour to start. The ceremony was not super long, about 20-30 minutes. We were handing over a microphone from one person to another and we had to say our name and the country we are from, we took the oath, they played a short video from the President, national anthem and gave us our Certificates of Naturalization. Right after the ceremony there were people outside waiting with the forms where you can register to vote immediately, and I would recommend doing so, as it was just seconds.
Few things to keep in mind:
• I know it may feel like you want to do it, considering that the paper used to print the certificates is similar to the one from the dollar store, but do NOT laminate your Certificate as it will be voided and you will have to go to USCIS, ask for a new one, and that is $555.
• They may mention it on your Ceremony, they didn't on ours, but we did receive a paper explaining what to do next, meaning: you will have to update your SSN and I believe state ID, so they know that your status has changed. You can apply for a passport immediately after the ceremony and register to vote. (a little tip for my Las Vegas people who want to apply for a passport: all the appointments will probably be full for the entire month in LV, so either schedule one in advance, even before your interview OR if you don't mind the 1h drive check out Pahrump or Moapa. We had appointment in Moapa available within 2 days).
• Do not stress before the Oath, I know most people will anyway, I sure did even though there was really no reason for it, but it is really just a formality and just make sure you have all your documents ready and you will be okay.
I hope this helps someone. You will be just fine. Good luck 🍀
