When I posted the other night about being approved[^] as a suitable candidate for US Citizenship I may have left the impression that I am now a US Citizen.
Not so! I very much doubt that USCIS[^] is reading my blog but nonetheless they take a very dim view of anyone claiming to be a USC who isn't one.
No, I am now waiting (impatiently) for another notice from USCIS requesting that I attend an oath ceremony. At the end of the interview this week the guy who interviewed me intimated that if I hadn't heard from them within 3 months I should request an InfoPass[^] appointment to follow up. Methinks, given the speed with which everything else has happened, I'll get the notice in a couple of weeks. I'm already checking the mailbox on a daily basis!
At which point I'll be requested to attend at such and such a place on such and such a date with other immigrants to take the oath and only then do I cease to be an alien and become a US Citizen.
If'n you think I won't blog about that day you have rocks in your head! :-)

Seems I can post a comment from anonymous but not from my sign-on. Wierd...
So my question: At the oath swearing ceremony, do you swear on a bible and to God when you swear allegiance to the country?
I don't know for sure, never having been to an oath ceremony, but I understand that, apart from the words 'under god' inserted by act of Congress in 1954, there's no overtly religious aspect to the ceremony.
