DC DO, afraid of dead people, am I only one who is schedule to take oath at cemetery?

I am happy and scared at the same time. My oath ceremony is scheduled for taking place at a big cemetery, the Arlington National Cemetery in two weeks. (cemetery is where dead people are buried)

I scare very easily and cemetery is the last place I want to be near... :( even if it's during the day. I know this place has a lot of tourists visiting it every year, but still... very scary...

It is a bad idea to contact the USCIS to see if they can re-schedule me for a later oath at a regular USCIS office
or the courthouse? but how long a delay will that cause?

I don't like anything associated with death too, but as my forensics professor always said - "be afraid of alive people, dead ones do no harm anymore"

don't worry, cemetery buildings are usually nice and peaceful place, sort of like museum, and oath will be probably indoors, so you won't even see graveyard.
 
cafeconleche,

you mean celebrating an early Halloween? I guess that would be fun :)
A uniquely american holiday!

No, I was referring to the zombies in Thriller... they're scary and come toward you at first, but, if you act like one of them, do dance with you, so you're safe :)
 
Arlington is beautiful and the place abounds with history. I used to live near it and have been there several times and I agree with Feliz. Relax and enjoy the day.

I have relatives buried there. You could say hello for me.

I recognize the guy in red in the video. He lives in Arlington and administer oaths there. From what I heard, he likes foreign blood (I mean wine):eek:.

Is the oath cremony after 11 PM by any chance ?

Before you go to the cimetery for your oath, make sure you drink a lot of juice so your blood will have good taste for the dude. :D

Hope for your sake, that the 3 other DC area people on the forum are not hidden members of the cemetry:)

try not to reschedule your oath. i wouldn't. don't worry, it will be during the day, in fact, might be pretty glorious sight. i completely understand your fears. i am afraid of dead people too :). damn all those horror movies i force myself to watch and pay for later tee hee
 
Come on, are you guys serious? I thought it was a joke. Afraid of a cemetery during the day??? ARLINGTON??? It's a freaking theme park...

Next they will hold oaths at FBI autopsy labs due to lack of space at USCIS facilities. Can you say "cadaver"?
 
I think to have your Oath at Arlington is a Honor. To me anyway. I would of loved to have it there. Yes it is a cementary but also so much History !

I think the fact that you're finally going to be naturalized should by far exceed your fears of cemeteries. I'd rather shake hands with a dead man walking (zombie) than have USCIS re-schedule my oath date.
