USCIS to Celebrate Constitution Day and Citizenship Day by Welcoming New Citizens

In honor of this week’s Constitution Day and Citizenship Day, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will welcome more than 9,000 new citizens during special naturalization ceremonies. For the celebration, USCIS is working with the National Park Service to host naturalization ceremonies at twenty-two national park sites across the country from September 13 to September 24.

Highlights from this year’s celebration include a ceremony on September 15 at the foot of the largest giant sequoia in Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Park in Three Rivers, California. Twenty-five naturalization candidates will participate in this ceremony. Another sixty candidates will attend their ceremony at the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in St. Louis, Missouri on September 17; while yet another naturalization ceremony will take place at the Lincoln National Memorial on September 22.

Additional naturalization ceremonies will be held at other national parks and historic sites around the country, including the Grand Canyon and the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum.
