I had my interview on April 10, 2012 and I passed. I was informed that I will receive a letter for my oath ceremony in the mail. On May 4, 2012 I received a letter stating that I need to go for fingerprinting. When I spoke with the USCIS before the interview I asked about the fingerprints and they informed me that the fingerprints that I took for my green card are still good and I don't need any fingerprints.
I don't have any idea now when I will have my oath ceremony.

Citizenship interview at Federal Plaza
My citizenship interview was scheduled for April,24th,2012 at 8:45 am. I arrived at Federal Plaza at about 8:05am. I was directed by a security officer standing outside the building to enter through the visitors entrance on the right. On entering the building there was a short line of people waiting to go be checked through security. The security area is similar to airport security whereby you need to remove your shoes, belt, jacket and go through the scanner. This process took about five minutes. I was getting nervous that I would be late for my interview. After security I took the elevators to the 7th floor where I was directed by the security guard to hand in my appointment letter to the front desk.. I took a seat in the room which by the way was filled with approximately 150-200 people. After about 10-15 mins, my name was called to enter room no. 1. It was about 8:35 am. I was created by a friendly officer whom I followed to her office. Upon entering her office , I was directed to raise my right hand and take the oath before I have a seat. She immediately asked me for my passport and green card.she then began reviewing information on my application such as my date of birth, address,occupation, marital status, and the yes and no questions on the application and travel outside the US. I was next asked to sign the form to verify the information is true. I was then asked to sign my passport pictures that I submitted with my application. She asked me to read a sentence , write a sentence she dictated. I believe it was " Lincoln was a president of this country." Next was the civics questions. After answering the first six questions correct, she stated that I passed. Woohoo. I was given a choice to wait in room 708 for my letter for my oath ceremony or have it mailed to me. Of course I chose to wait. It was 8:48 and after a wait of about 11/2 hours, I received my letter for the oath ceremony which will be next month.

king kong
I passed the interview today, the USCIS officer asked me why I did not choose as my first name as 'KING' and my last name as 'KONG'. Normally, I will answer him back with 'why do you look at me as something like a gorilla'. But I hold on and remain civil. Though I find it very insulting and discriminating.

HAPPY pass my interview today, lady officier was mean>>>I greated her by saying Good morning and she replied whats good about it? from there my heart dropped,I was like oh GOD, to make things worste I had her for my green card interview, at which she ask for a DNA test result for my son($550).at n400 she called us then walked away from the door we were left standin for 15mns my lawyer called her supervisor to complaint.She came back and said we wern't there when she called us twice, but everyone saw it.Needless to say I was just a spectator when her and my lawyer went back and forth, ok then we sat down and my attorney was trying to explain there is couple mistakes I made on the application and that he handle my case at immigration court while back when i was picked up by ICE for a student visa violation.She shut him off by saying if she needs anything she will ask and literally told him she is focusing on my file, need quiet time., then told me to relax and seat back, at that time i was already sweating how could you relax.....??
Ok she took 20mns going tru pages of my file, then ask if thats my wife seating in the lobby( which reaffirm she saw me first time bcose wife was next to me and son too.) I answer yes, she ask whats her name? iI told her, then she went out and talk to my wife ask if this is my son???(she got The DNA test in my file!!!) then grabbed my wife ID. she checked the adress and names then proceed:
red my application at same time fixed errors, but she ask some questions twice like if i was in the army bck in my country? i said no, then she ask they dont draft kids there? i replied No.
next: this is what i can remember
she ask: who is in charge of the army?
whats the party of the president now?
who wrote declaration of independence?
name a state that border mexico?
there were 13 original states name three.
whats the two major political parties in usa?
Nailed all the answer only ask 6question total.
reading: told me to read this:
who elects the congress?
writting:
the people elect the congress.
Then she approved me we signed my application and some papers, then waited for the oath letter in the lobby for 1hr30mn. schedule one week away sweet after all made it Good luck guys And for Advice bring your spouse if you applying base on 3yrs marriage. been married for 7yrs(2005), got green card(2009), still dont count since its 3yrs after card.
She didnt ask for any kind of proofs at all. but I think mainly becose my lawyer was voluntairing them b4 she even ask, that irritated her.
GOOD LUCK LONG STORY BUT JUST A HEADS UP, READ MY PREVIOUS POST

Citizenship interview
Wanted to provide some help to those spouses who are applying for marriage-based citizenship.
We had prepared all the documents as required by law and then prepared our photo album, things we did together, etc. I was out of the country and therefore, flew in to be with my wife during the interview. We arrived quite early at the LA USCIS and stood in line outside for at least 45 mins. We arrived at 6:30 AM for a 7:15 AM appointment and still there were at least 20 people ahead of us. Cell phones are allowed!!! So no need to put them in the car (which we did). Once we were in the office, we waited for at least 30 mins before a immigration agent came out and called my wife's name. He saw me sitting with my wife and he later asked her if that was my husband. I think it makes a difference to be with your spouse during this time (and of course at other times also :-)). The immigration agent was, as per my wife, the nicest, politest person. He asked the required questions and then discussed about cultures in US and how every culture is different, Once she came out, my wife was smiling and told me that everything went well and the immigration agent approved the citizenship application. He didn't ask for any proof whether our marriage was valid or not. I guess they are good at detecting liars and cheats.
Interestingly, I met with the same agent when we were about to leave the office and we bonded immediately. He told me that my wife's application requires a A+. When we filled our form, we also made a mistake in our marriage date but my wife told me that he has no worries since he saw our original marriage document and corrected the mistake in front of us. This immigration agent is an example of how immigration officers ought to be.
Within a week of intereview, we received the notification for oath ceremony for two weeks later and my wife attended the oath ceremony the required documentation.
Overall a very positive experience!!!
