Citizenship

First,I want to thank this website because it helped me a lot in my naturalization. I want to share what happened and the processing time of my naturalization.

July 2007 - Sent my naturalization application (I sent a cover letter together with all the documents in an organized way)

August 2007- Finger printing

Nov 6 Interview

Nov 14, 2007 - My oathtaking

My schedule time was 12:30pm, so i went there 20 minutes before. My husband and my 2 kids went back to NORTON plaza to wait for me. When i arrived, i went to the window to hand over my appointment letter, and the guy gave me a piece of paper to fill out some info. When i got back to my chair to sit down, the officer already called my name.

The INS officer was filipino. He was so nice. He went over and read all the information in my application and asked me to write one sentence in a piece of paper that he dictated.

He then asked me the following 5 civics questions:

1. What is the capital of the state you live in? - Sacramento

2. What was the 49th state added to our union? Alaska

3. Name some of countries that were enemies during world war 2? Japan, Italy and Germany

4. Who becomes the PResident if both the President and Vice pres die? Speaker of the House. Here, he asked me what is the name of the current speaker of the house. i smiled at him, and he said, " No, thats not included, but its good to know and then he mentioned the name.

5. Who is John Roberts Jr? The Supreme court chief justice.


It just took 5 mins to finish the interview, that he handed me the oathtaking scheduled for next week, Nov 14.

When i called my husband, it was 12:30pm exactly. He asked why i was calling him now, he even said "did you mislook the date?

well, we couldnt believe that it only took me 4 mos to get naturalized.

Well, PRAISE GOd, prayers really work! and thanks for this WEBSITE!
