Well 2nd time is the charm. My girlfriend passed her citizenship interview this morning on the 2nd try. It took two months to received the 2nd interview letter, then the appointment was two weeks after.

This time around it was a breeze, no civic question, just reading / writing, questions from the application and some personal questions. It was a different IO this time around. The IO was very surprised she failed the 1st time. My gf speak clearly and read perfectly. Held a little conversion with the IO just fine. This really lead me to believe the IO makes a huge difference, depend on what type person they are and what mood they are in. Now just waiting for the oath letter. Hopefully not long! 

Congratulations!! I think a lot of it has to do with the questions they ask. Many Americans would probably be confused by things like, did you ever participate in genocide, or conscript child soldiers, etc.

Thank you guys. 

 

Harmonia you are right. I looked at her application, some of the words I don't know the meaning, like "paramilitary". I had to googled it.

 

I just checked the online account. And there it is, the oath letter! That was super fast. She is scheduled for next Thursday oath. So excited!
