All Done.... FINALLY! :dance:

I arrived early... 5.45am well ahead of the 7am I was told to be there for... wanna know what time the ceremony actually started?? 10 AM!!!!! :blink::unsure:

They kept us waiting there ALL THAT TIME, waiting for the judge! lol Eventually once the judge came in and got started it all got done within 30 minutes... what a relief that was! I have my nice new Naturalization Certificate in hand (well on my desk right now) ahhhhhh so glad it's all over...

There were over 2300 there, from over 120 countries... only 4 of us took the modified oath.

Today I took the oath and became a citizen :dance::dance::dance:

Now I move to I-130 forum to continue the journey of getting my wife here.

Thank you everybody for sharing your experience and wish you all good luck.

Thanks Jamies, it is nice of you. Apparently, I have to wait until my case goes out of processing time before any inquiry can be entered. :wacko: Bummer!!!

ok that's it I am done with USCIS.......I AM A CITIZEN!!!!

Arrived at Philadelphia around 10:30am, letter said be there by 11:00am, lots of people in line so had to wait. Got inside around 11:10am and made my way up to the 4th floor, the ceremony room looked a lot like a court room.

Went inside and sat down and waited for my name to be called, went up to the gentleman and handed him my letter and Green Card. He looked to make sure the letter was completed on the back, and asked again if any of those things applied since my interview.

I then moved over to see a lady who had me check over my certificate and sign it. I then went and sat back down.

The ceremony itself started around 12:00pm. Started with the National Anthem, they then called out each country who had people for naturalization, when they called out your country you had to stand and remain standing until all the people for naturalization were standing. We were then asked to raise our right hands and say the Oath or Allegiance. We were then welcomed as New Citizens. We watched a short movie and a short speach from the Head of DHS. We then stood for the Pledge of Allegiance and following that we were called indivdiually to the from to receive our certificates.

After everyone received their certificates we were allowed to take photos, and then free to go. It probably took no more than 45 mins in total.

Hubby and I celebrated with lunch out, and then I went to SSA to update my records there. Now got to get a half decent pic and apply for the passport.

I am done.....I can't believe it :dance::dance::dance::dance:

I'm all done!!! :dance::dance::dance:

Had to be at the Court House at 9:00 a.m., did paperwork etc., had a short break, the official ceremony started at 11:00 a.m. and was over by 11:45 a.m. Over all it was a very pleasant experience and we had lots of photo opportunities. There were about 50 new citizens, so it was a kind of a small ceremony, but the court room couldn't have held too many more people anyways.

Congratulations to you, too!!! :star:

I applied for my passport, but I didn't make it to the SSA before that. Have to wait now, until I get my naturalization certificate back.

Just wondering, what do you need to do to apply your passport? and where did you go for that?

do you need to give them your naturalization certificate? How long it takes for you to get the passport?

Thanks

Congratulations Stella.......we only had 61 at mine!

Congratulations to you, too!!! :star:
