How did you celebrate?!

[Carrie7003 7]

Hi all!

my husband has his lifting conditions and naturalization interview on 4/8. So excited that this will be hopefully the end of 5 years of our visa journey. just want to know how did everyone celebrate?! I’m thinking of a cake and pics...I’m wondering if you take the oath the same day of interview do they provide naturalization certificate same day? Just want to know as it would be part of the pics of course! Love to hear your ideas

 the Naturalization Certificate is issued the day you take the oath and you will turn in green card

when my husband became a citizen ,,  we went immediately to apply for his passport

he called all his family to celebrate 

and bought tickets for us to go to Paris in the spring  (as he promised my reward)

I had my interview and oath on the same day last week. You get the certificate when you have said the oath. 
 

I didn’t celebrate. It was during COVID so my husband could not attend. It was just me and a USCIS officer. No ceremony. I just registered to vote 9 minutes after my oath, then drove home afterwards and my husband was at work that day until 11 pm. So I watched 90 Day fiancé on TV. The end of my journey was spent watching others start theirs. 
 

Next day I applied for my passport. 
 

To me it wasn’t really anything to celebrate.

My husband and I naturalized separately, we both celebrated with special dinners. I had my ceremony pre Covid so it was a big thing and we did photos there, my husband was during COVID and a small one and no photos! However the Covid dinner was at home so we had a flag flying (the little one they give you at the oath!). We definitely felt it was reason to celebrate.
 

And yes, you get the certificate at the oath ceremony (however big or small that ceremony is).

Carrie7003, congratulations on this big day!

Plan something bigger, and plan something smaller (this in case of interview-caused delays).

Not sure where you are or how the coronavirus restrictions would affect ceremonies.

After Mrs. T-B.'s oath ceremony, I took her to a nearby hotel restaurant for an early dinner.

Consider doing whatever your husband would enjoy that's special but not overdone.

Let us know how the interview and celebrations go.
