Hi guys,
It's a bit late to share the experience of my naturalization ceremony 2 months ago in Cadman Plaza Brooklyn, but it's also better than nothing:)
Just would like to run through start from the beginning of that day - 06/16/16:
6:00AM Waked up and dress in business casual (no jeans, black shirt with a regular business pant, and in a pair of leather dress shoes, no tie)
6:30AM Re-checked all necessary documents need to bring to the ceremony: My most recent green card (not the expired one), my appointment letter, a fiction book (which you will find it extremely useful during your waiting time), a black pen (you need to write something before, during and after the ceremony).
7:00AM On my way driving to 225 Cadman Plaza East, Brooklyn, NY 11201 (the Eastern District Court of New York, where the ceremony is going to be held). Parked my SUV at Central Parking on Jay Street, which is just 2 blocks away from the Court. You may use Parking Panda the app from your smartphone and the rate is good.
7:45AM Arrived on site at the parking place. Walked around 10 minutes from Jay Street to the Court. Left my cell phone locked in my car (you will find how critically this decision helps later).
8:00AM A queue has already been formed in the Main Lobby. Everyone was asked to take out their Green Card together with their appointment letter. Also we were asked to take off the cell phones and belts to move through the security check door. People who's taking the cell phones with them would have to deposit their phones in a few sorted slots near the security guard, which consumed a lot of time for doing such. After that everybody was indicated to move to the 3rd floor.
8:30AM Continued... will post more tomorrow...
