It's OVER!!! I'm now a citizen of United States of America. :luv::lol:

I enjoyed the ceremony even though it was a little long... and there were a lot of crying children/babies.

There were 129 people receiving the citizenship today at St. Paul ceremony. I got there around 9:30am to check in.. handed the lady my oath letter and green card. The ceremony started at 10:30am. Friends and family members are allow to take as many pictures and they actually were seated right next to our seating areas. Everything was done within 45 minutes..and they just handed out your citizenship cert by your seating number.

That was it.. I'm so glad my N400 has finally completed.

Thanks for all your support and help guys.. I'll be around!!

Good luck to all of you waiting!!

Correct, pretty much every Federal and State agency refers to the Social Security database for Citizenship information. Updating that database is the first thing one should do.

Congratulations Tena! 129 People is a lot! We only had 77 in Cleveland and it took approx 2 hours. Now make sure you make several copies of your certificate, update your social security status and anything else (driver's license, etc) and then you can mail your certificate for the passpot application. I applied yesterday and I should have my passport in 4 to 5 weeks. Again, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
