Just an FYI...

U.S. to unveil new citizenship questions
(http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061130/...tizenship_test)

WASHINGTON - The government wants to make the citizenship test for
immigrants more meaningful, requiring a better understanding of
America's history and government institutions. No longer would it be
sufficient to know the three branches of government (executive,
legislative and judicial). Applicants could also be asked why there are
three branches of government.

The government on Thursday was to unveil 144 draft questions that it
plans to try out on immigrant applicants in 10 cities where it is
testing a new citizenship exam. Citizenship and Immigration Services
planned to post the questions on its Web site at noon Thursday.

ROFL!

Actually, there are several mistakes (or misleading answers) in the
questions... for example:

#77 - non-US citizens can apply for federal jobs, although *usually*
#only USCs can accept one.
#77 - non-US citizens can run for office... it just depends on whether
#it's federal, state, or municipal.

#96 - schtupping a French bimbo!

#102 - the Hurons are a native Canadian tribe... in the US, they were
#known as the Wyandotte

#113 - *none* of those wars were fought in the US

#132 - how can there be 2 answers?

Hi:

#113 -- also, all were AFTER the 1900's. Perhaps the insurrection in the
#Phillipines might count.

#132 -- One mountain with two different names. See
#http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_McKinley

Hello Jeolua,

Firstly, I didn't say the information wouldn't be posted on USCIS's
website until 12 noon. The author of the article I quoted wrote that.
Plus, I posted a link to the article at 9.50am. I'm sorry you haven't
mastered reading a clock yet.

Secondly, part of the naturalization process is passing an English test.
I suggest you start studying now, I wouldn't want you to bomb it.

Retire to Italy

"tis the season of good will ... did you get out of the bed on the
in-correct side?

Merry Christmas to all in the event that I am not back herein before
the 25th december
or as we say in Italy Venti cinque decembre.

Un altro giorno o a domani

Hi Ian,

#35 should be open-ended depending on how the person feels...
#66 will change soon with the Democrats in a majority position...
#67 should actually be "within 30 days of his 18th birthday, or upon
first entry into the United States when he is between the ages of 18 to
25"...
#83 has further qualifiers...

> #96 - schtupping a French bimbo!
Also being on the $100 bill & that lightning thing...

#33 Does this exclude American citizen by birth who are born
#outside the US. What about those born in territorial
#Possesions(e.g. John McCain)

#76 Filing US Income Taxes regardless where you live in the world.
