Most of you probably don?t realize how difficult this process can be to become a U.S. citizen. But after many years and tens of thousands of dollars, Mrs. Kick Back was sworn in as a U.S Citizen today!!!!!!!!!!!
We?ve been working on this a long time, and it has been her dream to be a U.S. citizen since she came here from South Africa 12 years ago. For the last six months, we have been going over and over the USCIS Citizenship Test questions, three to four times a day. It?s a set of 100 questions from which they will ask 10 in the interview. We even bought the flash cards the USCIS provides. Despite knowing the answers perfectly, she was still gut-wrenchingly nervous.
As an interesting side note, over the last several months, we have been using the flashcards to quiz our American citizen friends. Unfortunately, I now have the opinion that most Americans would fail the citizenship test.
Anyway, back to the celebrating! Now it?s on me to throw Mrs. Kick Back a huge Citizenship party.
Sea ya?
