Houston Oath Ceremony
Attended oath ceremony today (Jun 20th) at Campbell Center, Houston
Thought to share my experience which may be helpful for coming Jul 25th oath ceremony and many others.
Today’s ceremony by numbers:
Persons naturalized: 3,134 from 124 countries (Campbell center is a large indoor auditorium)
Total attendees (including accompanied family members): ~4,000 (my guess). Auditorium was full.
Lessons learned:
1) Check your check in section number. It is 7th digit (or 3rd digit from end) of you’re a number (say A xxx xxx Cxx, C is the check in number). Park at East parking lot if your check in number is 0-4. Queue will be from East side entrance. Park at West parking lot, if your check in number is 5 – 9. Queue will be from West side entrance.
2) At inside hall, be sure you are in the right line, East or West, according to your check in number. Sometime USCIS persons are misdirecting people to other line.
3) One can apply for voter’s registration there only (easy one page form supplied by volunteers at the center).
4) One can apply for passport there at the Campbell center at the end of the naturalization ceremony. One needs to have all required documents, photo, etc. Application form is provided in the package. You do not need to go to a post office.
5) Take a pen, snacks / water bottle (if you want) or cash to buy snacks / drink from there.
6) The check in process is long (6:45 am to 10:10am). Actual ceremony is for 30 minutes.
7) They will call by batch to collect the citizenship card. A color card is provided to all oath takers. You start moving to collect your certificate only when your color is called for.
Hope this information helps to many of you in future oath ceremony (especially if it is at Campbell Hall).
