10-yr journey nearing its end
Just got the word tonight that my naturalization interview is scheduled for March. My local office is so small that I was able to call them directly and leave a message. They responded to my phone message, gave me my appointment date, and the woman from the office left me her direct line number if I have any questions. What a treat to have an office like that.
So, my interview will be one month short of the 10th anniversary of my first legacy INS visa. It's been a long haul. Thought some of you regulars might be interested.
Cheers,
Sphy

Why are you being coy with the date? So we can't give you a case of the nerves? Who, us?!
Congrats, Sphy, big fat sincere congrats!

Re: 10-yr journey nearing its end
Yahoo Sphy ... another American/Canadian on the eastern seaboard. If you are like my Canuck, you will ace the exam and tell the instructor a thing or two about American Civics and History. Like who really won the War of 1812 ;-) and when Canada invaded the US and burnt down our White House while Dolly was hanging her wash on the line.
You have been a credit to both this board and the VJ board. I'm hoping that your naturalization doesn't mean you will disappear from sight. Now I know your 10 year journey didn't start with a K-1 so what was your first US Visa? J-1? TN-1?
Rita
PS We will have to met up sometime in the future. Jim and I are often in your neck of the woods in our travels. You and Jim can commiserate about the backward Americans while your better halves mock your Canadian accents, eh?

Re: 10-yr journey nearing its end
Many congratulations! My own Canuck is only just now a permanent resident (as of this week) but she's looking forward to the stage you have now reached.
Best of luck -- and congrats again.
