Hi all,

I was reading the other day somewhere that a handful of people were naturalized at Ellis Island.. I thought wow, how awesome and special that must be! - does anyone know if they still have ceremonies at Ellis Island or if it was just a special occasion? Can you choose where you want to have the naturalization ceremony?

One more year and I can apply for naturalization, yay! :)

I have been to Ellis Island.

Nothing to suggest they do it there.

You just attend the service where and when they tell you, the last element in a tedious process.

Oh man, no way...my great-grandfather came to the US from Russia through there. :(

Run by the Park Service, a nice morning boat trip and tour.

First stop Statue of Liberty, second stop Ellis Ialand.

But basically, Ellis Island is NOT open for doing immigration processing (including naturalisation oaths) currently.

Actually the New York District Office does have a naturalization ceremony there once a year I believe. But unless you live in NY.. that option is not open to you..
