We received our biometric appt, April 4th....
So fortunate that our closest USCIS office is about 3 buildings away from where hubby works, and about 40 mins from home! Reading everyone else's experiences makes me realise how lucky that is!!

Finally naturalized last Wednesday, 21st March at a ceremony with 752 other people in Lowell Auditorium, MA.
I'd originally sent my application (3 months exactly before my 5 years as an LPR was up) in late September, had my biometrics in October and my interview in early December.
The ceremony itself was a little underwhelming, lasting approximately 8 minutes (and that including padding out with pre-recorded music) after a 3-hour wait in cramped seats. To be honest I was gagging to get out of there by the time it was all done and dusted.
Still - it's all over now, and I'm glad to finally be a citizen (just like my gorgeous little daughter!)

Quick question: so studying for the civics test, have my 100 questions...
On some of the questions there are multiple answers, do we need to know/answer ALL of them, or will 1 answer suffice, for example:
What is an ammendment
a change
an addition to
Would I need to answer both, or just 1. It isn't always obvious as some of the answers given are the same just worded differently.
I know this is a silly question, but I don't want to think 1 thing and end up un-prepared.
Our interview letters have been mailed out, we are just waiting to find out the date
