Fingerprinting Done
Current Mood:
CC is listening to: Elikya (Hope)--Marc Antoine (Universal Language)
Fingerprinting didn't take very long at all...the process itself was only about 10 minutes, but I was at the USCIS office for about half an hour because there were 2-3 people ahead of me. That's STILL good time :-).
After my fingerprints were taken, I was given a booklet to help me study for the Naturalization test next year. It's a booklet of 100 questions and their answers (with supporting explanations).
Apparently, this is how it's going to work: during my naturalization interview, I'm going to be asked up to 10 questions from the list of 100. I just need to give the answers; I don't need to give the supporting explanations. Questions include:
- What is one right or freedom from the First Amendment?
- What are two rights in the Declaration of Independence?
- What stops one branch of government from becoming too powerful?
- The Federalist Papers supported the passage of the US Constitution. Name one of the writers.
- Under our constitution, some powers belong to the states. What is one power of the states?
There is also an English portion of the test, which includes a speaking test, a writing test, and a reading test. For the reading test, I must read 1 out of 3 sentences correctly to demonstrate an ability to read in English. For the writing test, I must write 1 out of 3 sentences correctly to demonstrate an ability to write in English. I think I'll be okay with the English portion of the test ;-).
Since I won't be taking the test isn't until next year (my application will take that long to process), I don't feel too pressured to learn all of it now. I guess I'll have Steve drill me on the questions once a month until next year--I should be really comfortable with the material by then :-).
