The only place left I think were young kids and teenagers still call you mam or sir. I think this is really respectful. They also will say Ms Peggy and not just Peggy. The weather is hot here that is for sure. You will adjust. I have.......lol Cool, thank you. I live in Alabama, I think that it's a great place to live, especially moving from another country.

US Citizenship General Discussion	All Finished	I had my interview on Monday in ATL. It was scheduled for 1:05 pm. I drove over from Alabama and got there about 12 30 pm. The directions on the uscis site were spot on. I proceeded through security. That was easy, empty all your pockets, etc, just like you are at the airport. They do not allow you to take cameras in until 1:30 pm. So I left all that in my car. The guard wanted a pic id and the appointment letter. The line was a bit long, but that was due to persons arriving at 1 pm for the oath ceremony. The guard directed me to the 2nd floor. I checked in at the reception window area, where I was told to wait on that floor. Some persons were sent to another floor. I clocked in at 12:38 pm..Now the longgggggggggg wait begins, so I kept observing what was happening. Persons from last week's session were arriving at 1 pm for the oath ceremony which did not start until 2:30 pm. Others that were approved that morning were told to come back at 2pm. They all gathered up front for the oath ceremony while all others who were waiting on interviews and their loved ones waited to the back. Ok my name is called at 1:50 pm. The officer swore me in. Asked me basically the same thing on the N400 application. Then we took the test. I opted for the old one. She asked me just 6 questions, mostly about the consitution. I mean realllll EASY stuff, straight from the book. She also had me read a sentence and write one. She also asked me a few other questions on serving the US..alll of which I said yes to. Afterwards she asked me to sign the form and sign my pics. It's now about 1:57, she said it's too late for me to get in on the 2:30 oath cerememony (I was told there's only 1 per day). I told her I was from out of town and I had no plans to overnight. She asked me to wait in the room and someone will let me know. She said they may be able to have a separate ceremony. I was out of her office at 2 pm. Then the long wait begins again. I witnessed all the other folks going into the room for their oath ceremony. I saw folks and their loved ones all happy, smiling and taking pics. That was over in say 20 minutes..Everyone looked relieved that it was over. All this time I'm wondering what will happen. For about 40 minutes, me and 2 other guys from out of town sat there wondering what will happen, because the ceremony was over. Then someone called my name, and he came up to me..naturalization certifcate in hand, asking me to check my stuff.. I WAS SOOOOOOOOO HAPPY, cause I knew I was leaving ATL as a US Citizen. We continued to wait for another hour. Finally the time came and we were sworn in during a separate ceremony, just 3 of us. Finally I was out of there by 4pm. We were the last ones out. Overall it was a very easy expereince except for the long waits. The place was packed, really packed. The officers and staff were courteous. I was elated to that the entire USCIS experience was over, and I shed a couple of tears while taking my oath, tears of relief. By the way I was not asked to show any evidence, and my USC spouse was not present. Just asked to see my passport, which she did not even go through.

The NOA 1 also says our N-400 was transferred to something called NBC and that it wouldnt effect our processing time. We also received our biometric appt notice verifying that our biometrics is scheduled for 9/12/08 @ 3 pm. I am glad we are inching closer to the grand finale, I just wish I could get my husband to study for the civics questions, he seems to think he has all this time to study so he is slowly studying. Anyone who has gone to the USCIS in B'ham for fingerprinting is it difficult to find, I just dont wasnt to get lost as it will be our first time driving by car there.

Evidence that your spouse has been a U.S. citizen for the last three years: Birth certificate (if your spouse never lost citizenship since birth), or Naturalization Certificate, or Certificate of Citizenship, or The inside of the front cover and signature page of your spouse's current U.S. passport, or Form FS-240, "Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America," and 2 Your current marriage certificate, and 3.Proof of termination of all prior marriages of your spouse - divorce decree(s), annulment(s), or death certificate(s); and 4.Documents referring to you and your spouse: Tax returns, bank accounts, leases, mortgages, or birth certificates of children, or Internal Revenue Service (IRS) - certified copies of the income tax forms that you both filed for the past three years, or An IRS tax return transcript for the last three years. plus these QUOTE A photocopy of both sides of your Permanent Resident Card (formerly known as the Alien Registration Card or "Green Card"). If you have lost the card, submit a photocopy of the receipt for your Form I-90, "Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card"; and Two identical color photographs, with your name and "A-number" written lightly in pencil on the back of each photo. For details about the photo requirements, see Part 5 of A Guide to Naturalization and the Form M-603 instructions. Do not wear eyeglasses or earrings for the photo. If your religion requires you to wear a head covering, your facial features must still be exposed in the photo for purposes of identification; and A check or money order for the application fee and the biometric services fee (Applicants 75 years of age or older are exempted from the biometrics services fee). Write your "A-number" on the back of the check or money order. The application fee is $595 and the biometrics services fee is $80. You may combine the fees into one check or money order. Make your check or money order payable to "U.S. Department of Homeland Security." You may know what's best for your case, but just thought I'd point it out.

US Citizenship General Discussion	August 2008 - N-400	Just thought I'd share what I read on the uscis website about the Citizenship test. QUOTE Redesigned (New) Naturalization Test In the interest of creating a more standardized, fair, and meaningful naturalization process, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recently completed a multi-year redesign of the naturalization test. The revised test, with an emphasis on the fundamental concepts of American democracy and the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, will help encourage citizenship applicants to learn and identify with the basic values we all share as Americans. Redesign Process The major aim of the redesign process is to ensure that naturalization applicants have uniform, consistent testing experiences nationwide, and that the civics test can effectively assess whether applicants have a meaningful understanding of U.S. government and history. Following a basic U.S. history and civics curriculum, the redesigned test will serve as an important instrument to encourage civic learning and patriotism among prospective citizens. To accomplish these goals, USCIS initially piloted a new test–with an overhauled English reading and writing section, as well as new history and government questions–in ten sites across the country. The feedback from this pilot was then used to finalize testing procedures, English reading and writing prompts, and a list of 100 new history and government questions. To ensure the pilot accounted for a representative sample of candidates with a variety of education levels, the test was also piloted at adult education sites nationwide. The resulting redesigned test was publicly introduced on September 27, 2007. Naturalization applicants will begin taking the revised test on October 1, 2008. Which Test Do I Take? USCIS will begin administering the redesigned (new) naturalization test on October 1, 2008. Use the chart below to determine if you will take the current or redesigned (new) test. Date Form N-400 Filed* Date of Initial Exam Test to be Taken If Applicant Fails Initial Exam, Re-test to be Taken Before October 1, 2008 Before October 1, 2008 Current Test Current Test Before October 1, 2008 On or After October 1, 2008 up until October 1, 2009 Applicant's Choice of -Current Test or -Redesigned (New) Test The same version of the test as the one taken during the initial examination On or After October 1, 2008 On or After October 1, 2008 Redesigned (New) Test Redesigned (New) Test At Any Time (i.e. Before, On or After October 1, 2008) On or After October 1, 2009 Redesigned (New) Test Redesigned (New) Test *The Application for Naturalization, Form N-400, is properly filed with USCIS on the date it is received by the appropriate USCIS Office with signature, correct fee, and the form is completed according to instructions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Redesigned (New) Naturalization Test: Vocabulary List for the English Reading Test (165KB PDF) Redesigned (New) Naturalization Test: Vocabulary List for the English Writing Test (167KB PDF) Redesigned (New) Naturalization Test: Civics (History and Government) Questions (336KB PDF) Redesigned (New) Naturalization Test: Civics (History and Government) Questions (Spanish Version) (332KB PDF) Redesigned (New) Naturalization Test: Civics (History and Government) Questions (Chinese Version) (363KB PDF) Civics Flash Cards for the New Naturalization Test (7523KB PDF) A useful study tool for teachers and students.
