Allrighty So I had my Citizenship interview today at the Seattle CIS office at 7:30am today (needless to say I was up at 5a on a freeeeeeeezing seattle morning ) . I got to the Seattle office at 7:00a got done with security had a nice chat with the security officers about the thx giving break and then headed up to the second floor to wait to be called. There were quite a few people in the waiting room at 7:30a. Around 7:40a the immigration officers started calling people for their interviews. I was called in at 8:10a and was greeted by the interview officer.

We went to his office and he put me under oath. Once that was done he asked me to take a seat and asked me that I had 2 N-400's filed and why? So I told him the reason and he said it's not nice of USCIS to loose an applicants application. He asked me for my state ID and green card and started making notes on my N-400. He then asked me to fill out a form to withdraw one of my N-400s which i promptly did.

He corrected / updated some of the information on the N-400 and then asked me to sign my full name on the 2 photos and the N-400 form. Once that was done it was time for some have you ever done this / that questions and then the written portion of the interview.

The officer asked me to write " George Washington was the first president of the US". We joked about how easy it would be if we had a keyboard instead of a pen and paper. He then asked me around 5-6 history / civics questions.

1. What are the 3 branches of the Govt?
2. Who becomes the president if both the president and vice president die?
3. What is the head of the city govt called?
4. Name 2 senators from WA?
5. What is the national anthem of the USA?
6. Who wrote the national anthem?

Once that was done he gave me the N-445 and asked me to come back next Monday Dec 3rd at 2pm and said good job.

That was it. nice and short. 1 more week to go and I will be a USC I can't wait.
