I PASSED!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Here is my report!

Got to the Garden City office at 1:56 PM. The appointment was for 2:05 PM. Went in to window 3 downstairs where the letter was stamped and was sent upstairs where the letter was taken from me. Sat in the waiting room with about 8 other persons. My name was called at 2:20 PM and I was taken into Ms. Iskhakova’s (very nice woman) office.

She administered the oath to tell the truth and then she asked for my green card, passport, and ID. She said that she would administer the test first and then we would go through the application.

Questions:

  1. What is freedom of religion?
  2. How many U.S. Senators are there?
  3. When must all men register for the Selective Service?
  4. When was the Constitution written?
  5. What ocean is on the East Coast of the United States?
  6. Name one state that borders Canada?

She had me sign the bottom of the test (she had written all of my answers in and ticked them off as correct).

She then asked me to read a sentence – it was a “longish” one and I cannot remember what the heck it was… Then I was told to write, “We have to pay taxes.”

Then she went through the entire application form line-by-line.

The IO was very nice and never asked for any other documents. I had a copy from my passport to give to her because I went home at the end of June but she said she didn’t need it – she just made a note of it in the file.

She gave me form N-652, Naturalization Interview Results, on which she had checked off:

  1. You passed the tests of English and U.S. history and government
  2. Congratulations! Your application has been recommended for approval. At this time, it appears that you have established your eligibility for naturalization. If final approval is granted, you will be notified when and where to report for the Oath Ceremony.

She told me that I should receive the Oath letter within the next two weeks.

And that was it! Anticlimactic after all of the waiting and stressing, for a 15 minute interview!!! And she told me that the Oath would be held in the Brooklyn Courthouse.

At 2:35 PM I was walking out of the building!!! YAY :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

The written sentence was different, though. Otherwise it would be creepy:)

I PASSED!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Of course you passed -- CONGRATS -- great way to start the weekend

********************************************************************************

....when it hurts to look back and you're scared to look ahead LOOK beside you and I'll be there.....

There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore... and who always will.

So, don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.
