Waited an hour and a half for a 20 minute interview / document review / test.

IO looked at the requested original marriage certificate and divorce decrees.

6 oral questions

1 written sentence

Oath ceremony at Faneuil Hall March 3rd.

After the successful visa interview it's all downhill.... HCMC definitely teaches you how to prep for the rest of the process.

Congrats!! My wife goes for her interview at the beginning of Feb. She is excited and nervous, but I keep telling her it'll be nothing like our fraud interview at HCMC. (...that was incredibly stressful!) And now the iPhone has several quiz apps for Naturalization. We've been making a game show of it all, which takes the pressure off and allows her to have a little fun while learning.

Congratulations!! I was pointing out to my wife that they conduct the ceremonies at Faneuil Hall when we visited last month, so perhaps we'll end up there in a few years. They also held one at Fenway Park last year.
