Can I bring my wife to my naturalization ceremony?

[InspiredLamb 0]

I was wondering if there is anyone here who has been through their naturalization ceremony lately and whether there were any restrictions on who you could bring with you? I know that you used to be able to bring anyone but that was pre-COVID and I'm not sure what the restrictions are now. I was hoping to bring my wife.

 

The more recent your experiences the better.

 

Thanks.

Mine was in July in Boston. People brought their whole families, even little babies to the event and they were allowed in.

I seen Tik Tok and YouTube videos on families recording their family members getting their certificates at the ceremony and taking pictures with them. So you should be ok  .

Depends on the field office and their covid protocols at the moment. Pre-Covid it was fairly easy to do.

What nastra30 said, totally depends on your particular field office. Some offices don't allow any family at all, while others allow everyone. I had my oath in the middle of the pandemic (March 2021) and we had our ceremony outdoors - everyone was welcome, everyone was filming and taking photos. A very nice experience. Check other threads in this forum to see if you can find info about your field office.
