Hi All,

I will be taking my oath tomorrow at the LA Convention Centre (yes, i still refuse to write center) and I just wanted to say how glad I am to finally reach the end of this journey. It wouldn't have been possible without all the helpful advice I've received on here. With your help, we managed to file everything ourselves, saving thousands on needless attorney bills. Looking back I didn't think it was going to be possible and it felt like the end would never come but sure enough here I am picking out an outfit to wear to my naturalization ceremony. :dance:

Thanks guys and good luck to you!!

Congratulations - and enjoy your special day :) .

“...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?”
