She fretted over this for weeks, but for all of that, it turns out the questions were very easy if you spent any time at all preparing.
Who is Speaker of the House?
(She said John Bo-HAY-ner, but I guess that's close enough for government work)
What is the longest river in the US?
What are the first 3 words of the Constitution?
How long is a President's term?
etc.
She still will need to get a letter noting final approval for naturalization and an appointment time to attend the ceremony, but that should just be a formality.
The ride home from Durham yesterday was a lot more pleasant than the ride to Durham, to say the least.
Good for her! See, told you it would be no problem. Honest people who want to be citizens and part of this country generally fare pretty well.
Let us know when to throw the virtual party when it’s finalized.
Congratulations. My wife was sworn in as a citizen last year. She went for her “test”/interview and they asked her if she could return in two hours for the swearing in ceremony! Of course, she could and did.
CONGRATULATIONS!!
Now, just make sure that she votes conservative! :-)
OMG~! I can't help thinking of stooopid AlGore who cited this phrase as an example of the high quality and standards needed for the government.
Apparently he was too stupid to know it is actually a derisive phrase that in reality means "any old crap is good enough to be palmed off to the government and yet still get paid"
I would be curious to know how many publicly schooled high school students could get those correctly.
Congratulations are due. Hope you were able to celebrate the occasion. She is originally from, and spoke?
Congratulations are in order to your wife!!!
“Bo-Hay-ner” -LOL!- I’m so stealing that!
Kudos. Family lore says that my Great Grandmother had a batch of bathtub Gin working when the judge came to the house for her citizenship test.
Too many natural born Americans couldn’t answer those questions, sad to say.
Congratulations!
Congratulations to her!
Congratulations to your wife. Tell her we said, “Well done, FRiend. Welcome.”
She is from Honduras, but has been living in the Us for about 15 years. We’ve been married about 10.

Congratulations.
Congratulations, My Mother passed her Citizenship Test Fifty Years ago.
Congrats to you guys! And congrats to her for doing it the RIGHT WAY!
I pronounce it "Boner" the way it should be pronounced, because that's the way it's spelled.
And one constant source of irritation (to me) is when the left purposefully confuses the term "immigrant" and "illegal immigrant", so as to make illegal immigration seem to be a worthy effort which they support.
Congratulations!
My wife is from Cuba and passed her exam many long years ago. In the middle of the exam she could tell that the judge knew that she was well versed in the subject matter so when the question, “Who was president during the Civil War?” came up, she answered, “Jefferson Davis”. The Kentucky judge laughed and told her she passed.
