7/16/06 - Received Interview letter
9/06/06 - Interview date
??/??/?? --> c'mon mr. mailman with my oath letter
edit: oh yeah, for the person that asked about the interview experience, here's mine. it was easier than a walk in the park. first of all, i don't even know WHY people stress over parking/speeding tickets ... they aren't felonies or nothing, if you weren't arrested, why put it. it just raises a flag with customs cuz then they think maybe there was more to the case than a simple ticket. like the old saying goes "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
anyways ... i actually was arrested a few years ago for being too drunk and cursing out a police officer ... heheheh, but that was when i was younger, and luckily my dad had a good lawyer who basically had the township beat the charge down to a simple boro ordinance, like not putting the glass bottles in the yellow container .. lol. anyways, i bought in the court's deposition and the original ticket i was issued. the customs guy asked me what had happened, i told him and he just laughed about it. he said not to even stress it. i guess he knew i was a "changed" man cuz i addressed him as "sir" throughout the interview and plus i'm just completing medical school so he must have realized i wasn't gonna be a burden on the system.
the interview itself was very straight-forward. asked me 6 questions from the list... can't remember them exactly but the hardest one was who's the chief justice. i said "the guy in the black robe" he said "very good" and stamped my paper. heheh just kidding. i said the guy's name and then he asked me to write "The president lives in the White House." Notice how I capitalized the White House because it's a proper noun. ask any american-born citizen and they wouldn't do that, at least 95% of them.
then he asked me how much trauma we see at the hospital i'm doing my rotations in, blah blah, how i like chicago (i said i hate it, but it kinda grows on you like an infection; i'm from new jersey originally). officer was very personable with a good sense of humor. we joked more of the interview than actually "interviewed." he then said "congratulations you're now officially a dumbass" i was like yes!!
in and out in about 10 mins.
went and got drunk.
