friends and family allowed during american citizenship oath?

Question

during your citizenship oath to become an american citizen, are u allowed to bring friends and family to that ceremony. The ceremony is usually in a public place.

just curious Thx

Answer 1

I have been to two citizenship ceremonies -- friends and family are not only allowed but encouraged. The problem is that there was limited seating for guests, so I would suggest getting there early.

Answer 2

Yes--no problem bringing guests. They may be seated behind the new citizens if the space is small, instead of with you.
