    Congrats. Now you know more about the US than many born here. And you get to vote.

    So, how hard is the test?

    Now, if your not totally burnt out on US history, check out "A Voyage Long and Strange: Rediscovering the New World" by Tony Horwitz.

    The only disappointing part of the book, not enough about the Russian explorers of America :D.

    I actually passed the test more than 2 years ago. It's was a no-brainer. I spent less than an hour on the weekend prior to the interview to go through all the suggested 100 questions. Much easier than a DMV test, I should say... That one I failed twice, lol rolleyes1.gif

    I guess that if I ever get to the LA area, I should stay off the roads. Or, at least the ones you drive on.

    Yeah... ne_nau.gif
    Excellent post -- fun zooming out from "here". You are a great contributor to this forum, and it's nice to have you as a fellow citizen. Congratulations; hopefully you have felt "welcome" most of these 11 years from you neighbors if not from the Feds.
