I don’t know if it’s an actual named court. It happens at the fairground.
But on the certificate it says “US DISTRICT COURT CENTRAL DISTRICT” at: “POMONA, CALIFORNIA”

So, you finally realised where you were going; just in the nick of time, eh?
Goebbels and Orwell would be impressed. Well done.

Just curious…I bought my 9 year old daughter a Kindle Fire for Christmas, and it put all of my library on her KF. I would like to take off some of my books. Is that possible?

Actually I’ve gone back to the Kindle. The iPad was great as a multi-purpose device, but it was too heavy. I’ve got a Kindle 3 now. It’s great.

Thanks for posting Mick! Might I ask why you use your iPad to read now rather than your Kindle?

Congratulations Ina.

To clarify (a little late), people can certainly come into the venue in the sense of the Pomona Fairground complex (which is a huge fairground, with multiple buildings). It’s just not guaranteed that they will be able to get into the building where the ceremony is taking place. Either way there’s a point where citizens and applicants get separated.

Anyway, glad it all worked out.

Thanks a lot though, just got home from my oath. My husband and my two lil’ boys were able to go to the venue as well, didn’t stay at the parking. Also, I was just in time, a bit crowded already but I managed to walk faster leaving my husband and kids behind me then I didn’t apply for my passport there, the prices are still different though, the ones at the venue is higher and I am not rushing so I’ll take my time going to the local post office to get my passport there.
But thanks again, atleast I got ideas by reading your post last night. Thank God I made it =)

The fairground is a pretty huge place though. I’m not sure where to drop people off. Everyone got funneled into a huge parking lot. Remember there are a LOT of people going, so there will be a lot of traffic, especially leaving.

The ceremony is in the long building just to the north of the Sheraton hotel, which is in the south corner.

Passports I think were the same price as at the post office, with an option for expedited service. HOWEVER, you may have to wait an hour in line. Still, it’s good to get it done. Just run over there as soon as possible.

Hi Mick, I’m Ina. Tom is my oath taking in POmona at 9:00am but says I have to come at 8:10am. Reading your posts, I have learned that kids aren’t advised to come but we have no choice but bring them along although I was thinking what if they just drop me off at the venue, do you think it’s alright? I mean, do you think it would be easy to locate me after the ceremony?

Also, about the passport. What if I just apply for it at a local post office close to my place (Lakewood), is that permitted? ‘Coz during my interview at USCIS, I was told by my interviewer that passports are charged higher at the venue.

Thanks!
