Appointment: 9:40am

Arrived around 9:15am, there were about 50people in the waiting area, checked in with the receptionist, and sat down for my interview. 30mins, 45mins, 60mins, 90MINS went by still no one called my name. Finally someone around 11am called me, so walked all the way down to the other end of the hallway.

After the formalities, I was asked if I had brought anything that I hadn't already submitted, I handed him proof of selective service registration.

I was asked the following questions:

Had my interview in Detroit office this morning. The interview went off really well.

While I was entering, the IO told me that I have come on a really good day because if I got thru the interview today, my oath ceremony can be as early as next week.

Hi everyone!.I filed N-400 application on 11/21/11 based on the 3 year rule. Interview was scheduled on 3/19/12 at NYC (Federal Plaza). I was a little nervous because everybody was telling me that the NYC office is really hard on marriage based citizenships. Interview was scheduled at 7:00am, there were like 100-150 people on the room (7th floor). I was called in at 8.10am. The first thing the officer asked me (even before saying good morning) was "did you bring your wife and a lot of evidence with you?" I said yes she is here, would you like me to call her?

Did mine in Chicago on the 22nd last month. First I was asked swear under oath that you're telling the truth and nothing but the truth, and then came a quick firestorm of questions about things in my application. The whole thing was mostly painless. Because I'm a college student who goes to school out of state, they asked me to show them my state ID or driver's licence, and I gave them my licence from my home state with an explanation of my situation, and showed them my proof of enrollment and current class schedule from my school.

I had my interview for 01:45PM at Holtsville, Long Island. Arrived at 1:00pm and was called in at 2:45pm.

Having benefited a lot by reading all the posts here, just want to share my experience to benefit others.

I had my interview last week, and took my oath yesterday. I could have taken oath same day, but I requested a few days later for work scheduling issues. The IO had no problem honoring my request, and asked me which date I wanted.

Had my interview yesterday, Honolulu DO. It mostly consists of going over your entire application question by question, and checking that the answers you give under oath match what is on your application. I was asked some more detailed information which hadn't been mentioned on the application.

The interview ended with the tests of reading, writing and civics, which were quick and painless. (One sentence to read, one sentence to write, and six questions straight from the study booklet. The interviewer stopped at six, since I answered everything correctly)

Interview was set at 7:30 AM.
We were up by 5:30 AM to get ready and prepare the kids.
