U.S. citizenship interview, anyone go through it?

[skim milk]

I have my interview in about an hour.
Did you get the decision at the end of the interview or did you have to wait?
What about the swearing ceremony? some sources say you wait for the mail and some sources say you can go right at the end of the interview
This citizenship is very important to me and my family struggled a lot to get me to this point. I think whether I continue to stay employed with my company is dependent on this as well. Wish me luck

I got mine the same day.. Oath Ceremony took like 1 hour.
Some places let you do it the same day.. I hear some others you have to go to a different location.
Questions asked by the interviewer was extremely easy as well.

Good luck and welcome to the United States of America.

Just remember, Jimmy Carter was the 1st President.

interview is easy, just don't be cocky. I didn't remember the national anthem's name(was it star spanky spanner?) and i still got it. Man i wish i could take the oath the same day, I have to go to a court to do it that it took like 3 hours because everyone has to go hand in their green card first, take the oath and then wait again to get something back from them (was it the citizenship paper or something else I forgot).

ahhh... it's gotta be the citizenship thing that's keeping u from getting pussy (or dick, whichever you prefer).

It's super easy. An job interview at Mcdonalds is probably tougher.

when I was doing my Canadian Citizenship interview, the officer asked me to name the provinces from left to right. I asked him who's left meaning his left or my left

it's super easy, even with the recent upgraded questions.... which would stump some real americans. they will tell you if there's a problem with your application. in virginia, they do the oath at a different location on a different date (with a big group of people).

What kind of questions do they ask you during a citizenship interview?

how long did you wait for the oath ceremony after interviewing?

I got one question wrong during my interview.

"Who is the 42nd president of the United States?"

I don't know the number order, so I said something like, "I dunno JFK?"

The interviewer repeated the question, "Who IS the 42nd president?"

"William Jefferson Clinton"

Also, trick question they may ask: what kind of government do we have? The answer is "A Republic" It's not a democracy.

what are "real americans?"

 

[looker001]

Just googled it and took the test. I failed it Glad i don't have to take the citizenship test.

edit:You answered 60% of questions correctly. Here's your rating:
45-60%: Not too bad, but you really need to break out the civics books again -- word is, the INS is looking for an 80 percent score.

At least for those who come here legally.

I took my interview in August 2005 and passed but they said that I had to wait for a letter for the swearing in ceremony pending a background check. I wrote several letters and calling in throughout the years asking about the status and never getting a response back. Finally in September 2008, I get a letter for my swearing in ceremony. So I go to the LA Convention Center and watch a video with the background music of "I'm proud to be an American" and get sworn in with 20,000 other people. Yay me!
