Don't know about that. Maybe.

But she will surely be relieved about not being jerked around by bureaucratic morons. Not to mention stopped and grilled by smirking Luddite cops because she looks like middleeastern and has a green card.

We're trying to raise our tolerance level for patriotic gibberish here
at the plantation. Next week, Tuesday to be date certain, Ms. Fatma
raises her right hand [anyone ever wonder why it's the right hand?],
mumbles a few trite shibboleths [is that redundant?], and becomes a
U.S. citizen. We have to travel to Tampa for the ceremony and, if
that's not bad enough, endure a period of political bloviation before
INS delivers the goods. A woman from Zululand, who went through this
initiation ceremony 2 years ago, has warned us that, while the
proceedings are tedious and banal, the inability of INS clerks to
deliver the proper papers to the proper persons is mind blowing, and we
may want to consider reserving a hotel room.
