I have noticed that most of the people come here to find answers. I want to celebrate and thank to those who answered my questions when I needed help.

As of August 2nd 2016 we (my husband, I, and our two daughters) are American Citizens.

Who else is celebrating or still treasuring their citizenship journey?RTX11BDV.jpg

Congratulations.

I "citizened" last month. I registered to vote yesterday when I applied for a new drivers license.

I love my brand new passport... looking forward to taking my two birds (the Egyptian passport also has an eagle on the cover) on a trip in a few weeks!
