JFK Library to Host Naturalization Ceremony for 200 Immigrants on Tuesday
Tuesday, February 17, 2015
USCIS will spend the week welcoming roughly 5,000 new U.S. Citizens during 40 President's Day celebrations across the country. The celebrations began on Friday and will commence on Sunday, February 22.
“Congratulations to the nearly 5,000 immigrants who will become U.S. citizens around Presidents Day,” said USCIS Director León Rodríguez. “Citizenship is a critical component of immigrant integration. It provides immigrants with an equal footing, and fosters a sense of belonging and inclusion that strengthens the bonds of shared ownership in society. As we celebrate Presidents Day, I encourage anyone who is eligible for naturalization to consider the rights, responsibilities and opportunities of citizenship.”
Rodríguez will administer the Oath of Allegiance to 50 people and deliver keynote remarks at George Washington’s Mount Vernon in Virginia on Feb. 22.
