Two Naturalization Applications Approved Today!

March 12th, 2025 | USCIS

Exciting news from the USCIS Boston Field Office today!

Two incredible naturalization applications were APPROVED, and I couldn’t be more thrilled for my clients!

One client was born in 1947; the other in 1988 — a 41-year age gap, yet they became fast friends during the oath ceremony.

It’s proof that no matter the age, the dream of becoming a U.S. citizen brings people together in the most beautiful ways! ️

I’m so proud to have been a part of their stories. Congratulations, to you both!
