To commemorate America’s 233^rd birthday, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will naturalize more than 6,000 citizenship candidates in approximately 50 special ceremonies spanning whole U.S. including five ceremonies for members of U.S. Armed Forces. The elated USCIS Acting Deputy Director, Michael Aytes said, “There is no more important role we have as an agency than to welcome new citizens during naturalization ceremonies throughout the year, but on the Fourth of July, that role is even more profound as we proudly stand side-by-side with the newest Americans to celebrate our independence together as one family.”

This year, USCIS’ weeklong celebration of citizenship itinerary includes administering oath of allegiance to approximately 800 candidates on July 1 at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium, and approximately1000 candidates on July 3 at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. USCIS has also planned to hold special ceremonies on July 4 at Liberty Island, N.Y., for seven military service members; George Washington’s Home in Mt. Vernon, VA; and the St. Louis Historical Old Courthouse in the shadow of the Gateway Arch. On the same day, USCIS will also naturalize more than 500 service members in Baghdad, Norfolk, Camp Lejeune, and Nellis Air Force Base.
