Took about an hour and a half for the ceremony, but it was great!  Phoenix  Court House! About 100 people from 27 different nations for their Citizenship.   She is now a full fledged Citizen!  From Start to finish, 6 yrs about.  We will have our 5th Anniversary this Monday the 13th.  Now it's on to the SS department to get her Social Security card updated, and get some pictures for her to file for her US passport.  Then we are done done done! LOL 

 

I want to give a shout out to all the wonderful people on Visajourney who have answered my questions over the years!  Could not have done without your support and knowledge!  Awesome people, you know who you are!!!  Peace to all!
