Naturalization Ceremony Question
Does anyone know how many people I'm allowed to take to my swearing in
ceremony, if any? Can you take pictures?
Thanks
Meagan

apart from the obvious places if you could post the actual office concerned
then somebody might be able to give personal experience.

You can bring with you as many as you want. Yes, picture taking are allowed
in most cases. However, they will be in designated areas significantly away
from the you and all people being sworn in while the ceremony is going on.
( You may need a telephoto lens if you want to take a decent picture from
afar. )

If it's held in an large hall or stadium setting I'm sure that's the
case. In Charlotte, the ceremony is inside in a room that is not very
large. The middle section of seats is reserved for the new citizens and
relatives and friends have to sit on either side.
During presentation of the actual certificate one is free to move into
position for pictures of the new citizen (at least this was the case
last week when I attended my wife's ceremony in Charlotte)
I did not hear about a limit on the number of relatives but I think it
would be very crowded if each person brought dozens. I would guess a few
is fine. It also probably depends on the number of people being
naturalized on the day. Last Thursday in Charlotte there were
approximately 40 and my guess is that most of them were by themselves
since there were more new citizens than there were onlookers in the room
The number of family members allowed may be dictated by the Fire
Marshall's rules regarding the room's maximum capacity rather than any
number set by CIS.
