(WBAP/KLIF) – U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is celebrating the 242nd anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, and our nation’s birthday, by welcoming more than 14,000 new citizens in nearly 175 naturalization ceremonies between June 28 and July 10.
The Independence Day activities kicked off with a naturalization ceremony at the Bexar County Courthouse in San Antonio, Texas on June 28.
“The naturalization ceremony marks the end of the journey toward citizenship, just as it marks the start of new lives as American citizens,” said Director Cissna. “We are humbled to be able to share in this moment of pride, joy, and personal triumph.”
The USCIS is asking new citizens and their families and friends to share their experiences and photos from the ceremonies on social media using the hashtags #newUScitizen and #4thofJuly.
