Friend took this interview couple of weeks back. One of the things they made him do was say the sentence " i drive a red car." lol . It wasnt a trick question either.

nope...greencard since 1989. And I already took the history/govt/writing/speaking test. This is the formal interview where they'll ask, among other things, if i will bear arms for the USA. After that there is a swearing-in ceremony in court.

I'm happy because this means that when i get old, i can happily live 6 months in India and 6 months in the states with no one harrassing me. With the greencard, you can't stay out of the country for more than a year without special permission.

Congratulations! Thank you for going through all the steps to legally become a citizen.

Oh, and even though I'm 15 years too late... welcome to the country.

Congrats! So, when do you get your passport, arrogant attitude and closed worldview?

-jk, it's a joke guys.

Edit: Ooh, I'm gonna get flamed hard. Meh, probably earned it with that one.
