Got here in KC just fine. Our hotel is 3 blocks away from the courthouse. We actually drove by it and studied everything from the parking areas to where we need to come in. I CAN'T WAIT! We'll keep everyone posted :) Thanks for the well-wishers!

good luck and enjoy the moment!!!

YAY! And so it has been done... finished... end of the line... whatever you call it. :dance::dance::dance: I was sworn in along with 59 other people from 29 different countries. We were supposed to be there by 11:30am but we made sure to give some allowance and got there around 11:00. The room was full, so I thought, boy, there must be at least 200 of us to get swron in. They didn't start checking us in until 10 mis to 12:00nn, we formed 2 lines and submitted our appointment letter and greencard, then was ushered to a room where our certificates were laid on a table. I picked my certificate, then fell in line again to see a court clerk who asked us if everything was correct, spelling, dates, etc., then signed the certificate, then back to the waiting room. After 15 mins or so, they announced that we (the candidates) can proceed and went up to 7th floor, Courtroom 7D while the families waited downstairs for further notice. We were seated in special order (I don't know how they based it), handed a packet containing some important information i.e. letter from the President, citizen's almanac, passport application form, etc., and then we did a little practice on how we will do the ceremony. Around 1pm, they finally let the families in the courtroom, then started the ceremony. After a few words from the judge, we then proceeded with the process. When they called each candidate, that person stood up and said the name of the original country. Then few words from another person (from voting district I guess), then we did the Oath of Allegiance, then handing out of certificate where we had the chance to have a picture taken with the judge. And that's it! It seemed a long process but I was too nervous to even notice the time. IT IS DONE! WOOOOHOOOO!!!

On Monday, we will be updating my status at the SSA and then register to vote, then apply for passport. I have this weekend to love on my certificate before letting it go again :) I noticed that the photo on it is the one taken during Biometrics. Thank goodness I looked pretty descent, LOL.

Well, goodluck to my fellow VJers who are doing the N-400 process. May you all reach the finish line sooner than later! :thumbs:

YAY! And so it has been done... finished... end of the line... whatever you call it. :dance::dance::dance: I was sworn in along with 59 other people from 29 different countries. We were supposed to be there by 11:30am but we made sure to give some allowance and got there around 11:00. The room was full, so I thought, boy, there must be at least 200 of us to get swron in. They didn't start checking us in until 10 mis to 12:00nn, we formed 2 lines and submitted our appointment letter and greencard, then was ushered to a room where our certificates were laid on a table. I picked my certificate, then fell in line again to see a court clerk who asked us if everything was correct, spelling, dates, etc., then signed the certificate, then back to the waiting room. After 15 mins or so, they announced that we (the candidates) can proceed and went up to 7th floor, Courtroom 7D while the families waited downstairs for further notice. We were seated in special order (I don't know how they based it), handed a packet containing some important information i.e. letter from the President, citizen's almanac, passport application form, etc., and then we did a little practice on how we will do the ceremony. Around 1pm, they finally let the families in the courtroom, then started the ceremony. After a few words from the judge, we then proceeded with the process. When they called each candidate, that person stood up and said the name of the original country. Then few words from another person (from voting district I guess), then we did the Oath of Allegiance, then handing out of certificate where we had the chance to have a picture taken with the judge. And that's it! It seemed a long process but I was too nervous to even notice the time. IT IS DONE! WOOOOHOOOO!!!

On Monday, we will be updating my status at the SSA and then register to vote, then apply for passport. I have this weekend to love on my certificate before letting it go again :) I noticed that the photo on it is the one taken during Biometrics. Thank goodness I looked pretty descent, LOL.

Well, goodluck to my fellow VJers who are doing the N-400 process. May you all reach the finish line sooner than later! :thumbs:

Congrats Mae, Very happy for you :thumbs:

you end up being complete with your loved ones."
