Atlanta Citizenship Interview
Hi All,
Just wanted to do a quick post about my experience today at my Naturalization interview in Atlanta.
Interview was at 9:25am this morning at the Parklake Drive location. Checked in about 9:15 then had to go to the 3rd floor. Waited up there for about 15 minutes or so for my number to be called. Logs of space to sit - hardly anyone there.
Got sworn in and did the civics questions first - got all 6 right. Had to read "Which state has the most people" or something like that, then had to write "The State of California has the most people" or something like that.
Then they went over the application. Had a couple of updates to it which they did there and then. Signed the updates and I was done. Officer was very friendly and we joked a few times.
Should be receiving my oath date in 2 to 4 weeks and the oath ceremony will be about two weeks out from then.
Hope this might be useful fore someone!

Re: Atlanta Citizenship Interview
Atlanta really is going backwards. 3 months ago it was about 9 months application-interview but now it's slid to a year.
Guess I should forget about it again until May then

Re: Atlanta Citizenship Interview
Mine is currently 9 months, so that would roughly tally with what you are seeing. I think I should be expecting to get an interview notification in April with a likely May interview date. Just in time for summer I guess!

Re: Atlanta Citizenship Interview
I had my interview yesterday, and was recommended for approval. They must have been very busy over the last few months - because I was told it would be 2-3 months before the oath ceremony. Not much longer to wait now!

Re: Atlanta Citizenship Interview
I had to do a similar question answer on an iPad, and anyone who has had to write or sign with their finger on one, knows this is easier said than done.
My “handwriting” looked awful - and I apologized to the IO saying as much, and she just smiled and said - actually one of the best I’ve seen all week!
I’m not sure if everywhere does it on iPad (- mine was Miami) as I’ve seen recent reports of it being hand written onto paper still, but if you are nervous about using a finger on a screen, maybe try some way of practicing this first, so it isn’t daunting when suddenly put in front of you at interview.
