Seventeen children become US citizens in time for Independence Day
San Antonio – The US Citizenship and Immigration Services is on the path of welcoming 9,400 new citizens in 170 naturalization ceremonies by July 7.
Seventeen of those new citizens were sworn in Saturday and all of them were under the age of 14 and from 17 different countries.
The emotional ceremony took place at the DoSeum Children’s Museum in San Antonio.
Many parents were just as ecstatic as the children.
“Am I Singaporean or am I American? There were a lot of questions regarding her identity,” said Summer Qu, who just witnessed her 7-year-old daughter become a citizen. “I am just so proud that today we finally got it finalized and formalized and she can say ‘I am Chinese American.’ It is the first year that we are celebrating as United States citizens.�
