    My wife had her first 'interview' for citizenship today...

    There are technically three 'tests' - a written English test, a spoken english test and a civics test, along with the interview.

    Her interview consisted of about 4 questions about her background. The spoken test was "I'm already pretty certain you can speak english - probably better than I can." Her written and civics tests were combined into writing down and filling in the blank for: "The US President is _____" & "My US Senators are ___________ & ___________. Senators are elected for ______ years."

    The interviewer also asked her when the US General Elections are held - Answer "On the First Tuesday in November of this year." Final Question "Would you like to vote on the first Tuesday of November of this year? If so, there's an Oath of Citizenship ceremony happening downstairs in an hour. If not, there's one in a month that your friends and family can attend with you."

    So she took the Oath of Citizenship this afternoon, with me in Minneapolis. I missed her PharmD graduation as well. She'll get flowers from me tomorrow at work...

          Very cool, statman.

          She is from Germany, correct?
