I passed the test and interview months ago, and my oath ceremony was scheduled April 1st (hah) but was postponed indefinitely once Covid hit. I was so frustrated and sad, especially since it's an election year and I didnt want to miss it, but had to just wait.
Guess what arrived in the mail yesterday! My new invitation letter! And it's scheduled for my birthday!?! Best gift EVER, thank you America!! And I will get to VOTE!! TRUMP 2020 MAKE AMERICA EVEN GREATER AGAIN WE WILL RISE FROM THE ASHES AND IT'S GONNA BE LIT 🎉😎🎉🍔🇺🇸🐸✨
Congrats. And know that you know about America and it’s history than a majority of its citizens.
I try. It's not like I learned anything about it at school in my home country, and for a while I was happy with what knowledge I gleaned from reading here and there. But I've finally been TRYING to study for real, listening to the Great Courses lectures on American History during this shutdown, and it has been eye-opening to say the least. Lots of interesting parallels, it seems.
Probably best that way. Our school system is a bunch of anti American horseshit now.
I guess that's true. Better to know you know nothing, than to think that you know it all and never learn.
Hey, feel free to PM me about any history or government questions you have along the way. I teach US history and Government and have a masters degree in US history. I am also one of the rare conservatives who teach those subjects. I would be honored to help you out.
Ahh thank you, that's very kind of you! I will keep that in mind for sure, if I do. Do you have any recommendations for conservative/unbiased resources? You can reply here or by PM, either is fine :)
Check out the Hillsdale College website. They have free online courses on dozens of subjects, including American history, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. It's an excellently designed resource for learning at your own pace. And they don't take a dime of taxpayer money.
What kind of things are you interested in or want to learn more about? I can go into US history, government, Christianity, western philosophy, warfare, geopolitics etc. Depending on your interest I will find you a book that suits your purpose.
BTW I saw in another post that your husband turned you on to Christianity. Do you mind if I ask what denomination? I do not wish to convert you or anything like that, but I do know good books that apply to pretty much any denomination. Christianity is my favorite part of all the subjects I teach.
A conservative U.S. History and Government teacher that also reads the Lord of the Rings? Where were you when I was in high school? We had an extreme leftists brainwashing us.
Private Christian schools are the only ones that will let me get away with teaching real history lol.
Do you have a website or anything?
Nope. I guess I could make one. Maybe I’ll do that as a summer project. I’ll keep you posted.
I feel like that's true. I'm a citizen of the US and I'm very curious about the test, the content of the test, and I'm even wondering about the materials, do they provide a textbook (something I can read?) to prepare for the test (is there any sample quizzes I can try out?)
I never went to the middle and high school in the USA, I was abroad in Russia studying history about Russia and ended up graduating in Russia. Now I'm in the USA, seeking good education for myself to learn more about this great, great country.
On the topic note, congratulations OP!
The pool of questions doesn't ever change much, check out https://www.uscis.gov/us-citizenship/naturalization-test for the official guides and resources, they even give you the answers so it's just a matter of memorization. The thing that helped me the most was a flashcard phone app, you can find a ton on them on app stores by simply searching for something like "naturalization test." Good luck!
