When Ms. P, a student in JFS' Citizenship program, started attending classes this summer, she was very nervous, yet ready to commit the next 12 weeks to preparing for her interview. She came to the U.S. from India 10 years ago, and through the encouragement of her family, she applied for Citizenship in the hopes of voting, traveling with ease, and continuing her life as a citizen.
On September 15, ahead of Constitution Day and Citizenship Day observed on September 17, Ms. P passed her naturalization interview and took her oath as a new U.S. Citizen. She stopped by this week's Citizenship class to share the good news and bring in treats to encourage her classmates to keep learning and practicing. She greeted her class with smile and said, "I am an American Citizen."
Join us in congratulating Ms. P for achieving this milestone! If you know someone who is interested in applying for Citizenship or preparing for a naturalization interview, contact 732-777-1940 or email office@jfsmiddlesex.org.
