N-400 OCTOBER 2011 FILERS

[MirandaVC 2]

Just one is fine. You dont have to give them all four.

Guys i have a question,

When it comes to the civics test for example in the question like "What is the "rule of law", " there are 4 variations. Can you just mention one or do you have to say all four.

COngratz to all the new citizens and fingers crossed for all the others

@ Tatsi: When I studied for the test, I stuck with one answer always (e.g. name cabinet level positions, I stuck with two that I would alwyas repeat, so you don't get confused).

Friends,

First of all, I would not have been able to survive the stress of the past few weeks without the encouragement that you guys offered. For the past few days, I was literally paralyzed with stress and nervousness due to the issues related to my case. I was doubtful of my approval, but as you can see from my past few posts, I tried to stay positive and hopeful.

And lo and behold, I got approved and completed my oath ceremony today. I am now a US Citizen! Interview was easy and the IO did not ask me for tax transcripts or child support proof or affidavit. When he gave me the letter stating I was approved and can go back to waiting area to be called for oath ceremony, my mouth fell open and I could not believe my eyes or ears. My attorney asked him again and he smilingly said, "We try to keep it simple in Newark. He is approved". I also changed my name during this process and he helped me with that.

Here are the questions he asked -

1. What does the President's Cabinet do?

2. How many justices are there in supreme court?

3. What did the Declaration of Independence do?

4. If both the Pres. and VP cannot serve, then who becomes the President?

5. We elect a Senator for how many years?

6. Name one branch of the government?

I answered all of them right. He then asked me to read and write 'When is Columbus day? Columbus day is in October'.

He was satisfied, and then voilà, he gave me the N-652 with interview passed and approved for Naturalization. I was done by 8:15am. And then as MirandaVC had warned, I waited and waited until 12:30pm or so after which the Oath ceremony was held and I got my Naturalization Certificate with my changed name. There were about 60 people who took the oath with me.

Though I took some snacks & fruits with me, I was too excited and hyped up to be able to eat anything. I had lunch on my way back home after 3pm. Even now, I can't believe my immigration journey is done!

Bear with me, while I proffer my moral to this story -

Despite how tough your case may seem to you, stay positive, hopeful and have faith. You have made it this far, so don't give up while the finish line is near. I am a marathon runner and try to use the same psychology whenever my legs cry out in pain and my lungs beg me to stop and give up. Citizenship journey and life is like a marathon. Don't give up even if you see a hare rushing past. Be the tortoise that wins the race. End of my ramble.

I wish fellow October filers who are waiting, all the best. For people who are nervous about their case like I was, chin up and hang in there. Good luck and Godspeed to you.

You guys in the October thread are all swell!

Now finally for a good night's sleep.... hasta mañana amigos.
