Hey guys,

this questioned popped out of my head out of nowhere to see if anyone else ever felt like me that after taking the oath

 

after taking the oath, I started feel more connected to this country and it actually did started to feel like home... 

i am not saying I never did before. Of course after living here for number of years, you attach here more and more and it becomes your home. However, after oath I started to feel like more on the patriotic side.

Hope there are much more people like me feeling the same thing. I feel like I belong to one more big family...

I felt *slightly* more assimilated into this country after my oath last year.  After my first vacation since becoming a USC, I somewhat felt more like I was coming "home" rather than coming back to "America" at customs on my return trip...but that was it, and very fleeting.  The USA fully feeling like home to me is something I continue to struggle with since coming to this country in 2004, for a number of reasons.

Well said! My experience too was that of patriotism. After all the hurry up and wait with the N-400 and prior, my first feeling wasn’t relief; it was joy and being part of a the American dispora. It’s hard to describe but but truly a feeling of being greater than just one person, if that makes any sense...
