Canadians are Americans too.

This Canadian will soon be an American. INS is reopening their Tucson office, so my CV-delayed naturalization date is now May 18. AZ has online voter registration so I'll be a registered voter before I get home from the INS office.

I got the notice through a personal phone call from INS. There won't be a group ceremony. It's all being done individually. Additional COVID-related requirements are that I wear a mask and that I bring my own pen for signing.

Congratulations, AZL!

I’ve been through both public and private naturalization ceremonies with my kids.

Both ceremonies are very moving. Usually tears are involved.

Good luck. Will keep an eye out for you here on the 18th.

Your individual citizenship ceremony sounds very special. I’d call that serendipity. Keep us posted.

Congratulations! This Canuck is envious.
My youngest son now lives in Oklahoma, though, and took his oath last summer. I’m so proud of him!

Best of luck!

Congrats, AZL!

You speak American very well for a foreigner.

I’m so happy for you, and just a tiny bit envious. You’ll have the ability to actively bring about change inside America with your vote, and then America can influence the world with its leadership and information. I’ll do my part here in Canada by trying to influence my fellow citizens using that same information to change their apathy. We’re both on the front lines of different battles in the same fight.

Congratulations, and welcome aboard this boat where WWG1WGA!!

(Yeah, I know you're already a faithful FReeQ, but that sounded cool...)

No problem for me to remember your "One of US" date: 2 days before our 59th wedding anniversary! '-)

Seriously -- sincere congratulations!
