Just an update - received advise to attend Oath Ceremony at 8AM March 22 at the Pomona Fairgrounds CA along with 3500 soon to be sworn US Citizens.

If anyone has had any experiences of attending this venue for an Oath Ceremony, I would be interested in hearing them - details regarding parking and if you should apply for a passport there etc would be of a great help.

Well, I have attended the Boston one at Fenway Park. On Citizen Day 3033 or something like that got sworn in.

Plan on having lots of patience... you are going to be there for a long time.

The one in Boston took almost 6 hours... and it took way over 2 hours just to seat all these people...

Hopefully its easier in CA.

I did not apply for a passport there.. to many people.... went and applied at the postoffice a couple days later.

I hope you got the date wrong, otherwise you missed the ceremony.
