July 04 is celebrated as Independence Day to commemorate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, which declared 13 American colonies as a new nation. Special naturalization ceremonies are conducted nationwide with the theme of US Independence Day.

Aim of US Naturalization Ceremonies

The USCIS is committed to facilitate the naturalization process for all eligible applicants. Several steps have been taken by the USCIS to implement Executive Order 14012. The USCIS has also expanded the Citizenship Ambassador program to spread information and assistance about immigration processes.

 

According to a recent announcement, US Citizenship and Integration Grant Program will provide $2.6 Million in funding in 2024. The USCIS is also trying to streamline naturalization processes for spouses and families of US Army personnel and veterans.
