15 minutes interview for N-400 @Chicago
Hi,
Just returned from my N-400 interview. Arrived there at 12:30pm for a
1:00pm interview. Checked in and waited. Was called promptly at
1:00pm. The officer was a gentleman in his 50s. Very polite and kind
faced. He lead me to his office and asked me to raise my right hand to
affirm I will only speak the truth. Once that was done, I sat down and
he asked for the following 4 items:-
(1) Interview letter
(2) Green card
(3) Passport
(4) Drivers license
My entire A-file was there in front of him. I was able to recognised a
document copy that I had attached as part of the I-129F petiton in
2002. He attached the interview letter to my A-file and put the other
three infront of him without looking them over. He then handed me a
civics test sheet. I was asked the following 6 questions:-
(1) What country did we fight during the Revolutionary War?
(2) What is the Constitution?
(3) What makes up Congress?
(4) How many voting members are in the House of Representatives?
(5) Who is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court?
(6) Who was the main writer of the Declaration of Independence?
I got them all correct and he congratulated me on passing the test.
Next he went through my application itself. User a red pen to tick
mark each of my answers after double checking with me verbally. Only
correction he made was the (in)famous Part.D/Q-16. Since I had one
traffic citation from 2001, I had answered "Yes" to that question. He
asked me if there were any non-traffic related citations or arrests.
When I said "No", he crossed out my "Yes" to that question and checked
"No". He initialed it and wrote "traffic stop only" against it.
At the end he made me sign my N-400 and print my name of the two
photographs. Handed me an N-652 where he had ticked "Congratulations,
you have been recomended for approval....". Informed me that I should
expect an oath invitation in the next 3-5 weeks. He then shook my hand
and escorted me out. I checked the time and it was 1:15pm sharp.
So hopefully my last "waiting period" begins.

Re: 15 minutes interview for N-400 @Chicago
Hi,
Is your DO also Chicago? If it is, then going by what other web sites
are stating, Chicago schedules an interview only if the name check has
come back. Perhaps that is the case with you. I just hope USPS did
not misplace your interview letter. Good luck and keep us posted.

Yeah my DO is Chicago, so I guess I will just keep waiting. Just out of
interest, when you recieved your letter saying they had recieved your
application how amny days did if say it was taking? Mine said over 500,
but obviously that is wrong. Hey Congrats again, let me know how the
oath stuff goes.
