Hi all, my Oath ceremony took place today in Chicago. It took about 1.5 hour from start to finish. It was a nice ceremony, and the judge gave a speech for about 10 minutes before swearing us in and doing the Oath. Everyone's families were there and it was a joyous moment. Afterward, I went straight to USPS and submitted a passport application with name change. 

 

Feels surreal that I am finally a US citizen!

 

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Not sure if anyone here has Global Entry, but if you need to update your GE after citizenship / name change, you can contact CBP via the portal and send them scans via email. Took them about 2 weeks to process my request but I didn't have to go to the enrollment center.

 

  • Go to ttp.cbp.dhs.gov
  • At the bottom of the page where it shows CBP Support, click on "For help with Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI, FAST"
  • It will open a new page for CBP Customer Service. Click on "Ask A Question" which will bring up a fillable form
  • Under "Topic" choose "Trusted Traveler Programs (Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI, and FAST)"
  • Under "Applicable Issues", choose "Change my name due to marriage/divorce/legal"
  • Under "TTP Programs", choose "Global Entry" - this includes TSA Pre Check
  • Fill in the rest of the information
  • They'll send you an email requesting documents
  • You can send them the N400 certificate or court order for name change and the US passport

This is perfect. I have to update mine!

Have you considered contacting your US Senator's office to ask that they investigate?

I don’t know how to do that?

How to contact?

Google your US Senator, and find the link for immigration or government agency issues help.

Oath ceremony completed today - naturalization certificate in hand. Applying for expedited passport tomorrow. 
Ceremony itself very underwhelming, two videos and Oath of Allegiance. When they read countries we come from she said Siberia instead of Serbia for mine lol. Other than that very straightforward and super short - got there at 11:30 it started at 12:00 we were in front of the building at 12:12. 
 

Čestitam!

Oath ceremony has been scheduled for July 19th, NYC

And just like that hubby is done. We got there late but fortunately there were still people being let in. Since he was already one of the last individuals to enter, number 160, it took a while for him to receive his naturalization paper. But he's done. Now for him to obtain his passport. 🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏾🙏🏿🙏

For those who got a passport did you use the tracker to track it? If yes, how long did it take to show up?
