Hi Everyone!

I would like to share my todays interview experience.I came to the interview with my husband ,the officer didn't let him in with me to the conversation room,so he was left in the lobby.

I was held in the conversation room for for 40 minutes where the officer asked me a tones of interesting questions :) In the begining, i thought my aplication is gonna be denied because the officer told me it was filed 2 days earlier then it supposed to be and i didnt count the days correctly as February has 28 days, though i was actually filing on January.

So,i was about to cry there and very stressed and really thought thats it and will have to refile again.

The officer went to talk to the lawyer next door or somewhere over there and came back with the good news that everything is fine.

I was happy to hear that! Then,i ve been asked to provide different types of evidence,as recent bills,recent pictures of my husband and i togehter,tax returns for the year of 2004,2005 and especially for the year of 2006,different questions were asked about my life with my husband and etc..

Well,that was a pleasure to talk about it as i didnt have anything to hide and was telling what it was and we ended up with conversation about my parents .

I have been also asked to write a 3 sentences in English,then read another 3 sentences in English and then i signed the New Test taking form ,consisting form 145 questions and the officer asked me just 10 questions and i scored 100%.

So ,finally i was approved and my Oath Ceremony going to take place at the end of June ,according to the words of the officer.

So,2 more month to wait till to become a Citizen!

Ok i'll end it here.

Best wishes. (F)

CONGRATULATIONS! :thumbs:
