Vermont Business Magazine US Citizenship and Immigration Services and the US District Court for the District of Vermont will welcome 30 new citizens during a naturalization ceremony Wednesday at the American Legion Post #10 in Barre. US Bankruptcy Judge Heather Z Cooper will administer the Oath of Allegiance.
The 30 citizenship candidates come from the following countries: Belgium, Bhutan, Canada, China, Congo (Kinshasa), France, Germany, Haiti, India, Jamaica, Moldova, Peru, Portugal, Somalia, South Korea and Syria.
USCIS often participates in naturalization ceremonies at museums, schools, libraries and other notable locations to celebrate the conclusion of an immigrant’s journey to citizenship and honor the commitment they have shown along the way. Special venues not only make these events meaningful for those who have voluntarily chosen to participate in American democracy and dedicated themselves to the country’s future, but they also reflect the strength and spirit of the United States.
USCIS encourages new citizens and guests to share their naturalization ceremony experiences and photos through social media, using the hashtag #NewUSCitizen.
