After 29 years living in the U.S. (24 of them as a Permanent Resident), I finally went through the immigration process to become a Naturalized American Citizen (with dual nationality as I keep my UK passport). This video shows the naturalization process, plus an "extra" step that my American friends made me complete!

  • Wow, thanks for the response. My letter says be there at 10:30 for the ceremony so I am wondering what time it will actually start. Any ideas?

  • It took a bit over 1 hour, which consisted of queuing outside, security, doing the paperwork/ giving up the Green Card, taking the seats, getting visitors in before the actual ceremony started (which took about 1/2 hour - a lot better than downtown San Diego, apparently)

  • What time did the ceremony actually start?

  • Early - started queuing around 7:30 AM.

  • congratulations on becoming a citizen, I am so confused about these things... while watching this I asked myself -.- this really happens? lol my fiance needs US citizenship but I have no idea how to go about it... looks like I will be attending one of these ceremonies with him as well eventually, :c ) if I can ever figure out the process... there's like marriage or something we have to do... haha :c ) congrats again!

  • It was a lot easier than I thought:

    1. Use N400 from their web site and pay the fee.

    2. Go in once for a biometric scan (fingerprints, etc.), then 3. You get called in for an interview and

    4. They send you the ceremony invite.

    Done in 6 - 7 months!!!

  • From one dual US-British citizen to another: Congratulations!

    Thankfully for me, the process of being naturalised as a British citizen was faster and more straightforward than the naturalisation process that you completed in the US.

  • A belated congradulations

    As a new U.S. Citizen, what is your opinion on the meaning of Citizenship? what ia your opinion of the current immigration reform debate?

  • CONGRATULATIONS

  • big congrats!

    After I became a U.S. citizen all I could say was 'Whew! Got that over with."

    And I tell those who are permanent residences to just get it. The longer the wait, the more expensive it'll become.
