I am so incredibly happy writing this post, yesterday my husband became a US citizen along with 1,509 other people in Minneapolis, MN. Yesterday marked the end of the exciting, stressful and seemingly endless journey that we have been on since 2007 when we met, fell in love and married. Overall our journey was relatively easy; my husband passed all of his interviews and we never had an RFE. But I don't think it would have been this way without the help of all of you. We will continue to visit this site periodically and I hope that the knowledge we've accumulated will come in handy for those still going through the process. Good luck to everyone!

I, too, heard about this on the WCCO radio yesterday. I thought they said it was the largest gathering of Oath ceramoy ever in the nation.

A big congrats to your hubby and you! Very exciting!!!

Yeah, it was absolutely amazing to see that many people. There were 100 countries represented and as they read the countries (from smallest number of people taking the oath to largest) the people there were asked to stand. Morocco was about 2/3 of the way through with 4 members, Canada had like 30 I want to say, a few Asian countries had 40-60 and the last country to be read had about 600-700 people. It was a very cool experience!
