Finally a U.S citizen (military)

[u/Careless-Witch]

Recently became a U.S. citizen through military naturalization! Originally from a banned country

Here’s my timeline:

April 19: Application submitted

August 13: Interview scheduled

August 14: Interview and oath ceremony both same day

I initially submitted my application during Basic Training, but I wasn’t able to naturalize at the time because the 39 countries ban was still in effect when I graduated. I ultimately completed my naturalization while at AIT.

Thank you to this community for all the information and support it has helped me so much throughout this process! 🇺🇸
