Dallas hosts six naturalization ceremonies in one day

On Friday, September 18, 2020, Dallas, a Texas city, sponsored six naturalization ceremonies and allowed 208 immigrants to become US citizens.

It is important to clarify that naturalization ceremonies are the last step that immigrants must take in order to have the same rights and receive the same benefits as any other American citizen.

They must meet certain mandatory requirements for the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to approve their naturalization applications.

The ceremonies sponsored in Texas hosted immigrants from different nations such as Mexico, Vietnam, India, New Zealand, North Korea, Colombia, Somalia, inter alia.

This is definitely hopeful news for immigrant communities, who are patiently awaiting their opportunity to become legal citizens of the US.

Delays in naturalization ceremonies

One of the most controversial issues since the arrival of the global Coronavirus pandemic in the North American territory is the substantial delay in the country’s immigration processes, including naturalization ceremonies.

Since the USCIS closed its offices and face-to-face services to the public for more than two months, there are thousands of pending applications and an estimated backlog of approximately 1 million immigration cases across the country.

However, there are activist organizations who claim that delays in immigration processes stem mainly from the ideals of the Trump administration.

They argue that the global pandemic did indeed contribute to their delay, but that emergency measures implemented by the Trump administration during the health crisis are only part of its plan to reduce the number of immigrants entering the country and prevent more foreigners from becoming legal citizens before the elections, which will take place in November, 2020.
