US Flag & Chilean Flag
Yesterday at about 3:00 Claudia was officially approved for her US citizenship!!!
We began this process ten (yes that's "10") years ago in Chile. While we were living in CA she received her US resident card, the infamous "Green Card", but was informed only six months later that she had to "surrender" it to Homeland Security since they were making updates, and that she would receive a new card with "enhanced security features" shortly thereafter. Needless to say, that card never came and upon further inquiry we were simply informed that her documents had been lost and that we should start again. Thankfully we had photocopies of everything and were able to move straight to citizenship. While at her interview yesterday the
officer informed her that he actually had her complete folder there and does not know why we were informed that it was ever lost or why Claudia ever had to surrender her original card. He was very encouraging and in the end simply told Claudia "Of course you're approved". Praise the Lord, this long process is coming to a close! We now only have to wait for her ceremony date when she will be sworn in as a Citizen. Thank you all for your prayers!Here's a fun link we came across in her studies, could you pass the tests at the bottom of the page?: US Civics resources.
