Finally Interview at 30 Barrets Ave, Holtsville - NY

Finally Today I had my interview and before I give you all the long story and preperation tips and what to expect I wana say I passed :d I am so happy and relieved.
Location
my interview was at 30 barrets ave holtsville, ny. it was an hour long journey into the heart of longisland.
before Interview
ever since august i would surf hours and hours of webpages to go through interview experiences and honestly most of the ppls missed a lot of details or they are not specifically for new york. only married ppls were concerned abt tax returns to prove their bonafide marriage and their were no details abt parking or security procedures.
Tax Returns Transcript
I had everything but I was a little confused with tax. I filed every year but didnt care to keep copies with me and rather let them sit at my parents house which is in virginia. now interivew letter didnt say to bring tax returns except if you owed taxes and when surfing the web I came across a case similar to mine. guy was self employed and hence his case was delayed so he can go back home and bring tax returns copies. now it wrecked my nerves. I tried irs site and they were close until january 9th. as soon as they came online I ordered tax returns transcripts but copies would take form 5 days to 2 weeks to arrive. by the time of interivew there was no signs of my tax returns transcript. so I made copies of last 3 years of taxes which I luckily found stacked in a box.
Selective Service Registration
when we came to america I remember getting an envelope and wondered how did the military got my name? I never registered. I asked someone and was explained that its necessary to register with them and seems they do so automatically at the time you enter the country. so I was relieved and put the card in a box and forgot until the interview letter came. now there is no way i could find it. i tried selective service website and i was registered but i could only change my address. no new card for me. I tried an official letter and it would take 90 days to arrive just to state that I am register with them. I cant wait my interview is in one month time so I used search a record. found my self and printed that page. and Yes it was accpeted. even the officer told me that he can search and find and print in his office if I hadnt brought that in.
Copies of Everything
I made copies of everything. I didnt want my officer to go and make copies. it annoys them and plus its stated on the letter to make copies. though officer thought some of the papers I showed him were originals and he tried to go make copies but I told him I have copies too and after examing the originals he can keep the copies.
the copies I made of were
previous tax returns I could find
green card aka alien registration card
my state issued drivers license
social security card
record of driving tickets
payment plan for overdue taxes.
and marriage certificate.
Marriage Certificate
I was asked to provied copies of my marriage certificate even though I filed on 5 year residence base and my wife was still back in my country. I read it while surfing the web happend to a guy and he had to go back to send them in. so I figured it wont hurt to take a copy with me just in case and I was glad I did take them with me. he thoroughly examined the marriage certificate. asked me a few times during the interview that my wife is not here
At the Interview
I literally live on the border of queens and long island. It took me an hour to reach the interview location. they have plenty of parking. its huge actually. but entering the building is quite distastefull but you cant complain can you? you are already excited and nervous and on top of that you are asked to remove all your jackets and pockets. take off shoes and go through the metal detactor. what good a metal detactor is it then? anyways I really hate taking shoes off. otherwise I m fine
after security figure it out on your own. if you are for info pass go to info pass reception window. if you are for interview go for reception window. hand her over your letter and she will tell you to take a seat and wait for your name to be called.
if you are going to 30 barrets ave be advised to seath on the brown seating side where door A,B and C are becoz some of the officer dont speak that loud and quickly be gone if they dont see you coming towards them. its a good over an hour wait. I had to wait almost 2 hours before my name was called. I kept noticing officers. some are very pleasent and greetful some are nice and then some are a little stiff.
Finally Interview
finally an officer called my name. he was pleasent and very nice. I think in his late 50s or early 60s. talks very slowly and very friendly. made me feel much comfortable. after being sworn in he asked me to take a seat and give him passport and green card. he had my file in his desk. it wasnt a cubicle I was expecting but an actuall room with name plate on the door and desk. he started going through just the n400 application while I saw he had other papers possibly from the time I entered into united states 5 years ago.
read all those statements abt communism, prostitution, illege ways, drugs etc, and then about aligence and obeying united states laws.
he took all the photocopies I had and put them in my file. kept going through the pages until at the end. then was the test.
who is the vice president?
whats the highest court?
who makes the federal laws?
how many amendments are there?
what group of peoples were brought in america and sold as slave?
why did the colonist fight the british?
it was all verbal for me but he wrote my answers in front of the questions and ticked correct on each one. after the questions I was asked to write one line out of  three. and was then given a paper to write one sentence on one of the three lines. (he would tell you which line to read and which line to write upon)
next was the final question and I quote,"now the question is do you want to wait for 2 hours may be for your oath letter or you want to go home and have us mail it to you?"
I told him I would wait as I am already off from my work plus my wife is really looking forward to this and it would be a relief to know the oath date rather than waiting in the mail. he told me next oath date was 25th jan in central islip but to my great disappointment when I recieved the oath letter after another over an hour wait it said 15th feb at 225 cadman plaza brooklyn. now I dont mind the delay but location I hate it. means I cant take my car and will have to go on public transportaiton all the way to brooklyn while I live in queens and not only queens almost by long island and I hate that. in this cold I rather go 2 hours on my car just to know there is a parking lot. anyways I am happy to be finally over with my citizenship that I guess I can live with one day of public transporation in cold.
