Yes, there was media, but they were behind us and I couldn't see the media crew closer. We were sitting very tight, almost like sardines in a can, they tried to squeeze us on one side ( 200 of us), and on the other side there were seats for other guests + family guests behind us and hundreds of...
Congrats again abbi1970!
Thank you, NewRunner for that insert from Washington Post, wow I'm still trying to process and get used to being a US citizen. My husband invited my sister and my mother-in-law for this ceremony from New York and Connecticut, and I got flowers, cards with...
Yes, Yes I'm a US citizen since yesterday! The special ceremony in front of Lincoln Memorial was beautiful, Colin Powell was the major speaker, the opera singer Denice Graves was amazing! I wish every immigrant good luck in this great country!
My interview was on Feb 24, 2009 in Fairfax office, I was approved and today (March 28) I got an oath letter for ceremony on April 12, 2009 at Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC.
I got a letter today about my oath ceremony on April 12 at Lincoln Memorial in DC. My interview was on Feb 24, 2009, so it took few weeks to get that letter and almost 2 months to be sworn. Well, at least I'll be finally finished with immigration.
Just got a call from the immigration that I'm scheduled for the naturalization ceremony in Washington DC on April 12 at 1pm. I should be getting letter this week, she said, with details.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your experience. I had my interview on Feb 24 in Fairfax office and am still waiting for my oath letter. I'm glad I found this forum, at least I can see that some people had the ceremony the same they had an interview and others ( like me) have to wait...
I had an interview scheduled at 140 pm, but the actual time was around 245pm ( lots of people in the waiting area!).When I left at 3pm, there was almost nobody in the waiting area anymore. While I was waiting for my interview I know there was a naturalization ceremony happening in the building...
I had an interview on Feb 24 in Fairfax office, as I wrote earlier and passed everything. The interview went smoother than I ever thought, it was mostly formality. That people who had interviews also had an oath on the same day, I think that used to be in the past, I don't think that's done...
I had an appointment on Feb. 24, 2009 too in Fairfax office around 2pm, everything went smooth. The immigration officer said congratulations and that I will be getting an invitation letter for a ceremony soon. She couldn't tell me any more details. I plan a trip abroad, but have to wait first...
