Hi Guys, I had my oath taking ceremony today at the Baltimore District Court and it all went well.

There was about 80 people in the room with only 45 of us taking the oath. It only took a total of less than an hour. First, they processed all the papers, took the letter that they sent and our Permanent Resident card and gave us the guides and the small flags then we waited for the judge who came an hour late. As soon as she arrived, she explained everything about Pres. Obama's speech for like 10-15 mins. and handed the certificates to us. There were no videos shown as what I've expected.

Good Luck!

Congratulations!

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
