It was quite a whirlwind of a process that I'll outline below:
- Submitted my application (and $600+) around Memorial Day weekend
- Mind you - there are 30 questions inquiring if you've been a hooker or a prostitute
- Had to get fingerprints taken on July 12th (mind you the day after AA's wedding weekend - I had the shakes from the lack of champers in my body)
- Received my notice for an interview on August 18th
- Was shaking because I was so nervous
- Was convinced there was a conspiracy to stump me, b/c I'm so awesome - so I overstudied
- How did I overstudy? I made flashcards and forced N to ask me thousands of questions over gchat during our work day
- Passed the test
- Seriously tho, I had to write a sentence of 3 words "We pay taxes"
- Yuck, I hate taxes
- Was told that my marriage certificate looks fake
- SERIOUSLY!? How does the ONLY american document in my file look fake?!
- Finally the guy agreed that my marriage certificate was in fact a real document
- Scheduled my oath for September 23rd
- Received on August 22, that my oath would happen on August 26
- Freaked out because it meant my parents coudn't come
- Had great friends and MIL and hubby who all made it to my oath
- Thousands of pictures and LIVE video :)
- Was amused that NO one spoke English in the oath ceremony
- My seat neighbors thought I was insane
- Received a certificate and started the name change process on all my documents
- Celebrated with wine / cheese / awesome food / great friends
