UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: on the previous interview posy yesterday.
Let me start by saying. We all know the government can get and see
pretty much whatever they want to about is online. So there is no
reason to hide anything in this interview. Below is the questions and
answers as close to the same order as I can remember. I have put a *
next to the questions i found strange and concerning. I will then follow
with my thoughts. Like before in the original post above.

birth. Mother and fathers name. Basic info for identification purposes.
(No issues here.)

A. I have a brother who is a wounded veteran and practices Islam.

worry as there was no follow up about which brother or his name.)

Q. When did the USA obtain indepence?
A: we delcared independence on July 4th 1776 and obtained it after

government that shows its purpose is to deny or remove the individual
freedoms so many have died for. Be they foreign or domestic.

A. I love the USA. I did not choose to leave out of hate or anger or
fear. I chose to take advantage of the freedom being a citizenof such a
great country affords me. I chose to travel, explore the depths of my
spirituality, expand my knowledg and career and move forward on a life i
choose because of the freedom my country has. I will always love my
native land and i will always support equality and justice for all.
(He nods)
Interviewer: slides a memo over which reads. All citizens living
abroad may be subject to informal investigation due to heightened
security measure in the USA before final submission of new passport
requests.
Pulls memo away.
Me. Sir this is not the same....
He cuts me off. Mr. Miner we all have a job to do don't we. No need
to cause any problems. Your passport should be available for pick
within the next 3 weeks. Have a good day.
Me. You too.
We shake hands and part.
There were some other questions intermittently about all the visas and
stamps in my passport. Why i was requesting extra pages. A couple more
about work history and my military service but none that i think need
to be added here. Thoughts below.
..........................................................
Overall I found the interview to be more about why i left, why so many
places traveled. Basic questions about identity and some intense history
of the US government similar to what immigrants have to know for
citizenship requests.
The questions about donald trump, immigration,
war and my religion definatelu rubbed me the wrong way. Based off the
previous memo compared to the new one and the random placement of some
of the questions (almost as of catching me off guard woudl reveal some
hidden truth ) my gut tells me that this is all a little fishy. I don't
know if any of these investigative interviews will lead to any negative
impact towards citizens or if it is just weird questions mixed in with
what i would find totally acceptable concerns for a citizen living
abroad. It is almost as if donald trump got an interview form for
citizneship and added his own questions in order to boost his ego.
Overall i think we should be cautious and pay attention to what we are
asked and how we respond but i find this more amusing now then
disheartening. There were even moment where it was obviius the
interviewer was as shocked as i was by some of the questions he was
asking. I dont think this is a witch hunt (yet) and i think as more
people exeperience these types of interviews my hope is that the silly
non pertinant questions will eventually find their way out.
Be careful and continue to educate ones self.
