Yesterday I got my letter from the INS that informed me that my appointment to answer citizenship questions will be on May 21 and that I should bring my Resident card and Selective Service Card.
Hopefully, I'll become a US citizen soon.
Yay!

Welcome to Paradise!!
Good going Gill: Just a couple of trivia questions and answers:
1. Who was the First President of the USA?
John Handcock was President at the signing of the Declaration of Independance. he continued on until the end of the Revolutionary war, 1776-1780. Then the nation was under the Articles of Confederation. George Washington did not become President until 1789 after the ratification of the new Constitution. So, John Handcock is the real First President, but Washington is considered the First President because he was elected under the Constitution.
2. How many States are in the USA?
There are 46 States and 5 Commonwealths, with 4 of the Commonwealths given equal status as States, and 1 commonwealth remains a US possession. These Commonwealths are:
Equal as States: Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Virginia, and Kentucky
Possession: Commonwealth of Puerto Rico
The term "Commonwealth" once had legal importance in early America, primarily during the colonization and up to the Revolution and some post revolution. Since then the term has been reduced to little more than a difference in Title, meaningless semantics. So, when your take you test, don't think about the above ... just answer as you were taught.

congrats to you.

Congrats, Gil. (hope this is not premature, of course ;^)

Way to go gil. Let me know when you get all your paperwork in order, we'll go shopping for some guns. No American should be without a trunk full of guns.
Maybe we'll swing by Texas and watch them grease a couple of criminals too while we're at it.
Seriously congratulations and I recall my father telling me how proud he was to become a citizen.
