Thanks to all who have helped with our questions along the way.

Today Rob had his citizenship ceremony and is now a US Citizen!!!!!

There were 50 in his "class" and they came from all over the world. Which was amazing to me as we are in what I consider to be "po-dunk USA".
The ceremony was very nice, very solemn however the judge did allow family members wanting pictures to come up front beside where he was in order to take photos of applicants as they introduced themselves and took their oath.

There was also a luncheon held afterwards for new citizens which was very nice.

We are happy our journey through immigration and naturalization is now complete.
Our best wishes to those who are still in process.

Thank you all so much for your congratulations!
Yes it is wonderful to finally be done.
We do still need to get Rob's US passport. We just wanted to hold on to that Citizenship Certificate for a little while before sending it with the passport application. It really makes me nervous to have to do that and rely on the US postal system and passport service to get it back to us safely.

Best wishes to those of you still on your journeys.

Someone asked how long it took to get here......I can't remember if the question was for start to finish or just the naturalization process. But I'll briefly give both:

First visa was filed for in Dec '03 and received in Feb '04. Rob moved here in Mar '04
Naturalization was filed for in Mar '07 and ceremony was Oct '07
Hope that helps!
