New Citizens Sworn In At YNP

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and Yellowstone National Park will welcome 45 people as new U.S. citizens today. U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark L. Carman will administer the Oath of Allegiance. The 45 citizenship candidates are originally from Australia, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Canada, China, Colombia, Cote d’Ivoire, Croatia, El Salvador, Estonia, Ethiopia, Finland, Germany, Guatemala, Haiti, Mexico, Moldova, New Zealand, Peru, Philippines, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine. USCIS has a partnership with the National Park Service under the U.S. Department of Interior to enhance the meaning and stature of citizenship ceremonies. USCIS and NPS first signed the agreement in September 2006 to connect America’s newest citizens to national parks throughout the country. The new citizens will live in Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana.
