I just wanted to let everyone know how proud I am of my wife.
She just had her Citizenship interview today and passed. :thumbup:
The USCIS Officer who administered the interview told her that the swearing in cerimony will probably be in November and that we should get a notice in the mail in two weeks.

I will.
It has been a long road from when we first came to the states in 2005. She studied her little heart out and really learned a lot about US history and Government. Plus her English has really improved a lot from when we first came here.

Cool, congrats! My wife (who's from Finland) is probably going up for her citizenship test this coming year. She's a bit nervous about the US history component too...

They give you a book and all the materials you need to know when you go in for the biometrics screening. It even comes with a CD. Really good stuff.
Hey atleast you get something for the $595 processing fee and $80 biometrics fee.:D
It ain't cheap.

Congratulations. Most people are born into citizenship. Like your spouse I got to choose my country as I had American and Canadian parents. I made the decision when I was 24 to retain Canadian citizenship. When you have to think about things and learn how it's done you have a better appreciation of the country you call yours.
Take Care.

Congratulations. I also chose my country. It was an excellent choice. Sounds like she is doing a good job with her English. That has to be the hardest language to learn--very illogical. How come you park your car in a driveway and drive your car on a parkway? If the plural of house is houses, how come the plural of mouse is not "mouses", but mice. Should not the plural of house be "hice"? Sure is confusing.
