Thanks to all the organizers and members of this board, finally, I got my U.S. Passport and Certificate of Naturalization in the mail this morning. I'm so happy and I'll forever be grateful to this board.

Good luck to those who are still on their Citizenship journey. May you have a smooth and quick process as I did.

Missed Oath Ceremony

During my interview I told the officer that I was going to be unable to attend the ceremony in July so to PLEASE schedule me for August. Well, she didn't. I was scheduled for July. As stated in the form I returned the form with an explanation and requested again to be scheduled for August. A few days ago I got an I-797C stating that I just missed the ceremony and that I needed to wait for a reschedule. My wife did get scheduled for the August ceremony which is next Friday.

I called the 800 number but they couldn't do anything for me. Apparently the information related to my case has already left the Call Center DB or something. Does anyone know a number I can call at the local office in Tampa to see if they can schedule me for next week's ceremony?

Thanks.

Oath Ceremony.

Today I became a U.S. Citizen. My immigration journey is finally over! :)). I was part of the 2nd ceremony today (one previously done this morning). There were 502 applications from 80 different nations around the globe. The process was very smooth regardless of the amount of people there. We were given our Naturalization Certificates and there were 15 Post Office employees taking applications for passports. You could also register to vote too.

I know there were other people on this forum that did the oath ceremony today, hopefully everything went well for them too.

Good luck to all those waiting.

God Bless America! :)
