Citizenship Interview/Test

Ophine and I went to our scheduled citizenship interview/test this morning. Our schedule was at 8:30 am and knowing we have to be there early so as not to be caught in the rush hour traffic, we left home before 6:30 am and brought the kids to a friends' house who also have kids in Somerset Academy so David and Missy can ride with them to school. The Miami Citizenship Center is in Downtown Miami and we don't usually go there regularly. Even with the GPS, we still missed our turn especially that the street going to the building was kind of nondescript, it was just a narrow service road next to a bridge and after a few more turns, and circling around we finally reached the place.

Parking was expensive at $20, a sure way to make money since a lot of people go there but what the heck. We can park off-site for a slightly lower fee but there were a lot of constructions going around and the road was muddy so we just parked in their own site.

Anyway, we waited for a little more than 30 minutes before our names were called. I was called first and the test/interview was like 15 minutes. After all the usual formalities, standard questions, etc., etc. I passed. I went back to the waiting room and Ophine was still there. She was getting stressed that her name hadn't been called yet but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise and I was able to tell her what questions were asked about 'US history' and give her the answers. She was not able to review well and that surely helped her, she was given the same set of questions as mine. She even overheard another person being asked a different set of questions, questions she didn't know how to answer. Well, the Lord is very good! She passed too and now we just need to wait for our schedule of oath taking.
