4 New Citizens Today!

Four more of our clients were sworn in as US Citizens today. Three of the four are from Cape Cod. They range in age from 51 to 81, and come from Brazil, Thailand, Germany, and Portugal--three continents!

12 additional clients had their Naturalization Interviews today, and will have their Oath Ceremonies in the near future.

66 of our 289 clients have now become citizens, and over 70 more have applied and are awaiting interviews or ceremonies. Congratulations to all!

Student says "take this class!"

One of our students stopped by our Citizenship Preparation Class this week. She made the trip to the USCIS office in Boston earlier in the week for her naturalization interview. She passed, and she wanted to tell her classmates about the experience.

Her main words of advice: "You need this class. Tell everyone you know who is applying for citizenship--you need this class."  In addition to the basics of learning the answers to the 100 possible questions, she said that the background the class gives on the entire process, including the questions and the interview itself, gave her confidence to sail through the interview.

We are very proud that of 108 students in our classes since November 2011, 26 have passed the citizenship test and 15 more have interviews scheduled. The remainder are working through the process.

The class works!
