MikeXiao Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 The Naturalization ceremony was today, and now with the certificate in hand, I wonder if it is truely finished. Is the long climb up the mountain complete? We reached the peak and there is no band playing, no croud cheering. Just the knowledge that we have completed the hard path. The path was not smooth. It was filled with bumps and pitfalls. But we stayed the course and have reached the summit. We thank you all here for listening to me cry each time we hit a bump. Your sound wisdom and support got us through to this end. For that we are eternally thankful. We will stay on the sidelines and continue to throw our assistance to any who will need it on the Candle. Tomorrow, we apply for three new AMERICAN PASSPORTS. It sounds so nice to finally say that. Thanks Again. Link to comment
C4Racer Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 No band??? Funny, they played the Star Spangled banner and America the beautiful at Lisa's ceremony, but then it was piped in.... Any way,,, from one time long time traveler to another, yes the journey is finally over. Now your real life can begin. CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment

LeeFisher3 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Congratulations Mike and family, just think no more green cards or dealing with the USCIS. The only downside is your wife will need to get a visa to visit China. Link to comment
MikeXiao Posted January 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 And some lady at the passport office in the post office, tried to tell me that just because mama was a citizen, the kids weren't automatically citizens. I told her in my most polite way, that they most certainly were citizens. Link to comment
