My Naturalization Interview Experience - New York

[MAN2010]

Hi All,

I had my naturalization Interview this morning in New York and it went very well. I got there about 25 mins before my scheduled time and had to wait for about an hour before my name was called. The place was not packed and the office was very organized.

The immigration officer swore me in and asked only for my Green card. I had a whole bunch of documents like my social security card, drivers license, tax return and transcripts and so on but the Immigration officer did not ask for them.

I was asked 6 basic test questions which I answered all correctly. The immigration officer also went through my N-400 and I had to sign my passport photographs and some other stuff.

The actual interview lasted for only about 10 to 15 mins. I was given the sheet of paper that says " Congratulations, you have been recommended for approval..."

I thank God all went smoothly. Now I have to look out for my Oath Letter.

Good Luck to ALL

Can you tell if they asked for your tax returns? I've filled taxes every year but for very less amount like around $9,000 a year. Will that affect

[my10022007]

i would suggest you take your tax transcript with you ,the IO dont have time to go through your tax transcript or your w2 to make sure if you paid the right amount , they just want to make sure you have it .
Thanks MAN any word on ur oath?
