10 years after I landed in the USA I'm finally citizen. My oath ceremony was scheduled today at the Philadelphia, PA office. It has been more than a year since I had my interview. I made several Infopasses, sent many letters, used two congressmen and three lawyers to have the USCIS adjudicate on my citizenship application. All my efforts were unsuccessful. I filed for a mandamus petition in December and in less than two months after my attorney sent the documents I'm now citizen.

This is the end of 10 long years and I wish good luck to all of you.
