Sucess in San Francisco

[kamitoz 0]

The appointment was scheduled for 1:30 pm, we checked in 15 minutes before (as recommended in the interview letter) and she was given the gray envelope with the passport application form in it, she got called in around 1:40 pm - I stayed in the waiting area with our daughter - she came out an hour later with the Immigration Officer who introduced himself and asked me if I was her husband, then he asked for the name of our child and my ID, after I complied he said: "congratulations, your presence here helped expedite the case, you will be getting a letter in the mail soon". Later on I found out that I could have been with her during the interview (did not know that).

My wife was carrying the Naturalization Interview Results letter in which the officer had checked the following:

You passed the tests of English and U.S. history and government.

USCIS will send you a written decision about your application.

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 was asked six (6) questions:

- What do the stars on the flag mean?

- Who is the Vice President of the USA today?

- How many states are there in the Union?

- Who is the head of the Executive Branch of the U.S. Government?

- In what month do we vote for the President?

- What is the most important right granted to United States citizens?

She had read: "Who meets in the U.S. Capitol Building?" and write: "They are a happy family"

I think the interview also concentrated on our personal life as she was asked about my birth day, our home phone number, zip code, our marriage date, how did we meet, etc., questions that were asked when we went for our residency appointment, oh well, since there was nothing to hide she answered them correctly.

We are relieved that this "journey" is almost done, thank you very much for your support and for sharing your experiences along the way, it made the trip a whole lot less stressful, now we are on the look out for the Oath Ceremony letter which I believe will take place in the month of June.

The study materials are Here on the USCIS site. There is a list of 100 questions; they'll choose up to 10. You have to get six right. They'll usually stop as soon as you get six right.

The most important right of a US Citizen may be subject to debate if you're asking in general terms. But if you're taking the citizenship test, the most important right of a US Citizen is the right to vote, because that's the answer they want to hear. (BTW, those other rights, freedoms of speech/press/belief etc. may be very important, but they are rights that the Bill of Rights gives to all the people, not just citizens, while the right to vote is reserved for only citizens).

And many congratulations to kamitoz! We hope to be following in your footsteps in late May.
