๐บ๐ธ My Journey to U.S. Citizenship ๐บ๐ธ
In December 2025, I officially became a U.S. citizen. ๐บ๐ธ
It still feels surreal saying those words.
When I first arrived in the United States in October 2020, everything was new to meโnew environment, new system, and a new chapter of life. Like many immigrants, the journey wasnโt always easy. It involved years of waiting, paperwork, interviews, and a lot of patience.
But through it all, I stayed hopeful and trusted the process.
After years of working through every stepโfrom receiving my conditional green card, filing petitions, attending interviews, and passing the civics testโI finally stood in the oath ceremony in December 2025 and proudly took the Oath of Allegiance.
That moment meant everything. It was the result of years of perseverance, faith, and support from the people around me.
