Congratulations Jackie & Peter Ayling After creating a special savings account and waiting nearly a year, Jackie and Peter Ayling can now say they are United States citizens! Jackie said the pro- cess is quite costly and somewhat lengthy so there was a bit of pre-plan- ning involved. After saving for a year, Jackie requested their citizenship appli- cation last October and sent it in to start the process. This came with a book- let and a CD of the type of questions the Ayling’s would need to know about the United States. The CD contained 100 questions and answers that the Ayling’s had to study. The actual test consists only of 10 questions, but you
do not know which 10 questions out of the 100 will be on your particular test. Jackie said she would listen to the CD every day coming to work and then going home. When she and Pete were in the car together, they would quiz each other. “We had to answer the questions on the test exactly as they were in the booklet and on the CD” said Pete. “For example, ‘what is Ben Franklin known for?’” “You can’t answer ‘eyeglasses’ because the correct answer in the booklet is he was a diplomat.” “We then got notice that we had to go to Naperville to be fingerprinted. We quizzed each other all the way in and back” said Jackie. Jackie and Pete took the test in January then received notice that they could be sworn in. This took place on April 22, 2016, at the Rockford Courthouse. “There were 89 people from 15 different countries who were sworn in. It was very exciting” said Jackie. We wish to congratulate the Aylings on now being citizens of the United States! (Jackie works A-Shift Production and has been at Crest Foods for 18 years.)
