Naturalization Ceremony in MIlwaukee

[kariandmax 0]

To celebrate National Women's History month, the Milwaukee Field Office invited only women to participate in today's Naturalization Ceremony! The ceremony began at 10am with the opening remarks, president's proclamation, and national anthem. Then there was a guest speaker and we did our Oath of Allegiance with the judge. At the end they played a message from the President and then "I'm Proud to be an American". The ceremony ended at 11am. It was such an amazing experience. The officers just kept saying how special it was to be "surrounded by our sisters" for such a special ceremony - and they were right. I am so glad to be finished with USCIS...off to apply for my passport now!

The Milwaukee Oath ceremony is usually held at the courthouse in the Federal building on Wisconsin Ave. Last year before the elections they were holding ceremonies at the district office on Knapp St.Good luck on your passport application.

We were send to Knapp St for biometrics, don't ask me why, but Bloomington for the interviews. Was always a mess with all that road construction going on in Milwaukee, did they ever finish that yet?

Kariandmax-Congratulations on being a US Citizen, and thanks for sharing about that experience here on VJ too!

Interesting too, that you had a special "women only" ceremony in Milwaukee. Makes you feel special to be female, doesn't it?

Good luck with the rest of your journey as a dual American/Canadian citizen and good luck with your US passport application too.
