Hi Maneesha. Oath ceremonies can be big scale event at times, as you mentioned. Does USCIS communicate alternate ways (like DocuSign etc.) to large gathering, in the interest of public health and avoiding community spread of Corona virus?

[@SilverSergeant]

My wife's Citizenship Oath took place yesterday in Plano, Texas. It took about 2 hours total. The ceremony, itself, took about 20 minutes. Over 1,000 new citizens were naturalized during the ceremony.

[@maneeshamukhi]

Congrats to your wife!

[@zinegnawyeshambel8383]

My Oath ceremony is this coming Wednesday 6/21/23 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin You're helpful and informative.🙏

[@pezdiablito]

My younger step daughter took her oath last week. Unfortunately we weren't allowed in the building, but it was still a momentous occasion for the whole family!

[@indyanasj4996]

Thank you for the info! My oath was today 6/12/20! It was the first ceremony conducted since COVID19 it took place in Newark NJ! It was very short like 30 minutes short. We were about 20 people and it happen outside but it was still somehow beautiful! So thank you!

San Jose, CA (3/26/22): Ceremony took 30mins. My appointment was @ 12:30pm but I got there an hour early. Cars got lined up @ USCIS parking lot. Stayed in the car until they told us to exit and gather at the front of the building. Officer in charge read the Oath and everyone confirmed with a resounding "YES." Very quick and very easy.

I Love this Country and the last thing that I was worried about the day of my OATH Ceremony was my CELL . BE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN CITIZEN

[@maneeshamukhi]

Congratulations on your oath ceremony!

[@kenjohnson4423]

You are not an American citizen, you are a US citizen, you have to be born here to be an American citizen

[@kenjohnson4423]

Try getting your passport as an American citizen, not going to happen, you have to say you are what, take a guess, US citizen

[@parrocs]

Bro, this video was very informative. Instead of criticizing and belittling the information given (FREELY, I might add), why not CONTRIBUTE to the collective improvement of the people watching it? Loving this country means helping others be more informed and equipped with the things they need to know so they can be calm and collected when the day comes for them to take their OATH? Just my two cents.
