Oath Ceremony - Houston - Guests?

[Tarka 0]

Hi, I tried searching as well, but not having any luck getting an answer for my question. My wife and I have an oath ceremony scheduled in Houston on Saturday, Gears road field office.  

 

Are we allowed to bring guests to the ceremony? 

What about our kids? We have a 6 year old who is becoming a citizen that day as well with us automatically. And another 4 year old as well, but he is a citizen, but we'll have to bring him with us. 

 

Please let me know if you had your oath ceremony there recently. 

 

Thanks!

You can being guest, but those uninvited will have to stay outside. They won't make it past the door. 

 

So, only those who are ACTUALLY oathing will make it past the entrance. 

 

The rest will wait outside till after you're done and you can take pictures infront of the singage. 

 

I've been here. I know it.

May I ask, how long did it take Houston to process your case?

We've been to that office twice for the AOS which was finally approved after nearly 3 years, and now my husband just applied for citizenship early this month

Was wondering how long of a wait the Houston office will be, as they have always been so slow, even before Pre Corona

We filed in March, 2021.

Oath ceremony done! My family and I are officially Americans. 

For those that are interested in Houston's field office process for the Oath Ceremony. We could not have guests. They only allowed people into the building taking the oath. We had to mask up as well, and we were all spaced 2 chairs apart. About 20 minutes all in, just checked in and took oath and walked out with naturalization certificate. No anthem or presidential videos or anything.
