One step closer
« on: December 11, 2009, 08:01:03 AM »
On Monday Elena had her Naturalization interview/quiz and she passed quite easily as she was answering the questions before he finished asking them. She's been studying the questions for almost 3 months now with daily quizzes from either Sergei or myself.

The interviewer tripped her up a bit when he started asking stuff like when we were married or when was the last time she was in Russia as she was concentrating so hard on the test questions she wasn't prepared for the normal type ones.

In all our checking and double checking to make sure we had all the proper documentation with us she forgot her wallet with her state issued ID in it but the interviewer was good about it and just made sure to tell her that he could have sent her home for not having it and to make very sure she has it when she goes for her oath.

Hope everyone here is doing well and that you all have a wonderful Christmas/New Year/Russian Christmas!

Elena & Ken

That is wonderful Ken.   Thanks for the update and I hope the rest of the process goes quickly.   Hope the three of you have a wonderful Christmas and New Years and post more often.  We miss your wisdom and wit.

Happy Holidays to you too Ken and good to see ya popping in.
Fund the audits, spread the word and educate people, write your politicians and other elected officials. Stay active in the fight to save our country. Over 220 generals and admirals say we are in a fight for our survival like no other time since 1776.

What a good news! :thumbsup:
I am sure it is a great relief to have most of the formalities connected with the process of naturalization behind you. 
Congratulation! :flowers:

Hey Ken! Good to see you back around, and congrats to Elena!  Stick around man...  bring that sarcastic wit back into the fray to lighten AND liven things up a bit.

Really, great to hear everything is going well!

Thanks very much everyone!

Daveman,

 Unless things here have changed dramatically I don't think you need another arrogant smart ass bastage (thanks to I/O for that term) around. We're doing quite well overall and I've found plenty of things to occupy my time that do not involve arguing with idiots and trolls. :)

Ken, we miss you.

Anyway, please express my congratulations to Elena.  I don't know why I missed this thread on Dec 11.  Must have been arguing with an idiot or troll.  Yes, your remark about "idiots and trolls" hits home.
