Good luck to huniebee for the interview today!!!

Thanks Arlington!! Lets recap my day...

My appt was for 8:40am. There was new construction going on and I missed my turn! It was 8:15am. I finally was able to make a UTurn found parking and started running like a maniac. Huge line outside, it was blasted cold. The time was now 8:30am. After waiting to get in the door and pass security it was now 8:50!!!! I went to the 2nd level and waited. I was called in around 9:50. My officer was really nice too.

She went over my package, didnt ask me to read or write. She wanted to look at my gc and id. She asked me my civics questions..

#1. What is one right of united states citizens

#2. Who is the chief of the supreme court

#3. Name two national holidays

#4. How many senators are there

#5. Where is the statue of liberty

#6. What state borders Mexico

Thats it!! That simple!!! Gave me a letter that I was approved!!! Then she went to enter something in the computer and the computer froze!!!! She looked puzzled and said brb.

5 minutes later, she asked me to comeback @ 1pm for my oath ceremony. She said it will be extra special today since we will be celebrating MLK bday.

Cameback, no line - Thank u lord!! Waited for them to call my name to give up my gc and sign a copy of my certificate. She gave me a white package and wait togo upstairs.

Went upstairs and sat in my assigned seat. It was a beautiful ceremony! I was in tears. There were several camera men from several news channels there as well. Special guest was the director of homeland security who gave a speech and stayed for pics.

That was my day guys. Woke up @ 5 to beat traffic and was still late. lol.. Left @ 2:45pm and it was ALL worth it! I am finally a USC.

We're doing a name change, so I believe we will have to wait for an oath appointment at the district court.

Yeah, I believe its at either Alexandria or Arlington Courthouse.

My wife passed her test today! Thanks Be to God! Now we wait for a slot in federal district court for an oath (she is changing her name). They only do it once a month, so if we don't get into the February ceremony (officer was not promising anything) we have to wait until mid-March. Thanks to VJ for the fantastic amount of help! We were way overprepared; they didn't ask for anything other than what we had already sent in.

Questions were (1) first 10 amendments; (2) who is Speaker of House; (3) Longest River; (4) Who is the President now; (5) When was the Declaration of Independence adopted; (6) Who lived in North America before the colonists came; (7) When do we celebrate Independence Day. She had to write something like "Independence Day is in July".
