Hi Everyone,
March 24 was a fine day... besides rain and very bad traffic.
Eventhough, I was supposed to get to the District court by 8:00 AM, I was late. By the time I was done parking and get to the room 2525, it was 8:30 AM. There was a big line. An officer came out and checked our letter with the GC. Then he asked for all the applicants to stay on the left and the relatives to be on the right. Then we followed him in the court house. He gave us a booklet which had all the information e.g. Oath of Allegiance, passport info and all. THe judge came and officer filed the motion for all of us to be granted citizenship via naturalization process. Ofocurse, the motion was granted and after a short speech, We took the Oath and pledge to the Flag. Then they came out row by row and gave us our certificate and took our GC back. Ofcourse the voters registration guys were outside the room waiting for us.
Well, my journey to US citizenship is over but that does not mean that dealing with INS is over. Now I will apply for my dad ASAP.
Also to all of you that I have known over the past few months, thanks for all the advice you have given me and I hope that we stay in touch. I will definitely be checking this forum from time to time.
