Congratulations!

You described very well every detail. I felt like I was there. I cried. Are you a writer?

Thank you. I don's think so. That's very nice of you to say that. I hold Bachelor's degree in Journalism (from my home country) but my English is not good enough to practice writing in the States.

I cried as well when I was there. These were the tears of happiness and I hope that one day you'll experience the same.

Good luck with your journey!

Thanks for telling us this great story.

Just a question - did you know you were going to have the oath ceremony on the same day??

congrats

did you mention about traffic tickets in n-400

Hello,

Thank you! Yes, I did mention about my tickets when he asked "Have you ever been arrested or cited?". I told him I have traffic tickets like speeding, driving on red light and improper cell phone usage. Then he asked if I had a DUI, I said no and he moved on,

Thanks for telling us this great story.

Just a question - did you know you were going to have the oath ceremony on the same day??

Thank you, too Safety Chick!

I did know about it because Newark office is one of those that hold interviews and ceremonies at the same day.

Good luck!

From a person starting the first step on such an epic journey to a person who successfully has finished it "CONGRATULATIONS"

In case you meant it (because it's crossed over), thank you! Best of luck to you!

You said that "I need a big cup pf frozen yogurt with a bunch of crunchy stuff in it". It's 's time to get sloshed. Have some "Horilka"(Vodka) .

Cheers and Congrats.

LOL Thank you!!

It's cute you found the Ukrainian translation of vodka. Would be nice but this type of drink gives me nausea. I celebrated with a glass of white wine last night!

Also, when I'm stressed I'm craving for sweets. Best medicine ever! :dancing:

Good luck!
