I'm a complete nerd. What can I say ...

I scraped by (six right) because there were many lawyer-friendly questions. I don't know my presidents, so that holds me back bigly.

What I don't understand is how my tennis pro passed? He's a great guy, but not especially studious. I'll ask him next week and let you know.

Ditto. 10 for 10. I didn't think it was that tough. I think I had to guess (between two possible answers) on just one of them.

6/10 here.

My sister in law (from Russia) passed though, I remember my mom helping her study. My mother is a retired poli sci prof though, so I suspect that’s pretty much the best tutor you could have. She would be rolling her eyes at me if I told her I only got 6 out of 10!

the filing fee of at least $640 again.

When we were doing Mr. SK’s visa app, I was so paranoid because if you make any mistakes in the paperwork, you have to start over from zero. Every time you submit paperwork, there were fees of close to $400 (it’s probably more now), and there were a few steps, so you have to pay that fee each step. If you have to re-submit, you have to pay again and you don’t get any credits or refunds from previous payments. If you make a mistake in the final step, you're out all the previous payments as well. All those fees, plus traveling back and forth to the US embassy in Tokyo, plus the fee for the required medical exam (which can only be conducted by a doc approved by the US and so isn’t covered by Japanese health insurance and required Mr. SK to take an overnight trip to Osaka)... At this point I have forgotten how much it all added up to, but the whole thing was so stressful and expensive... And that was just to get a green card, so not a citizenship application.
