Passed the citizenship interview!

This is a great day for Sandhya and me. We passed the citizenship interview! We go next week to take the citizenship oath and get the citizenship certificate.

I have been waiting for this for so many years. When I first wanted to immigrate to America and become an American citizen, it was--I thought--a pipe dream. This was way back when we were in Lucknow (what is it now, thirty years ago?). Of course we first landed in Canada and I was quite happy to settle down there. But when I got the opportunity to get a green card to come to the US, it was simply too good to be true! Of course, we sometimes do make our opportunities, and I will admit that I did push Sandhya to also accept the idea of moving here and looked for any possible job opportunities.

The interview itself was very pleasant. The Homeland Security Officer was exceedingly polite and courteous. He first swore me in and then he asked me a few questions to confirm what was in the application. I was also asked to read a sentence and then write a sentence dictated by the officer (this is the english language test). Then he asked a set of questions on the history of the US and the government system, like when was the consitution was written, how many Supreme Court justices there are etc. I got all questions right!

He then congratulated me on having passed the tests and the interview and handed me a piece of paper to bring in next week (Aug 22) .

Sandhya also got everything right.

Looking forward to the citizenship ceremony next week.

Congratualtions on the citizenship test. I have to go for mine in a few weeks. Just wondering, how long did the interview take and what kind of questions do they ask? Did they ask for anymore supporting documents? Do they call employers, friends, or neighbors anytime during the application process?

My friend and I were recently talking about how technology has become so integrated in our day to day lives. Reading this post makes me think back to that discussion we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.


I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as memory gets cheaper, the possibility of transferring our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could encounter in my lifetime.

Hello, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your blog site in Chrome, it looks fine but when
opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, wonderful blog!

I believe everything posted made a lot of sense.
However, think about this, suppose you wrote a
catchier title? I am not suggesting your content is not good, but what if you added a
headline to possibly grab people's attention? I mean "Passed the citizenship interview!"
is kinda boring. You might peek at Yahoo's front page and
note how they write post titles to grab people
interested. You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to grab people interested about everything've got to say.
In my opinion, it might make your posts a little livelier.
