USCIS ended its contract with Heritage Theatre in Campbell, disrupting naturalization ceremonies that served over 1,000 people monthly. The cancellation, made a few weeks before scheduled oaths, directs applicants to a different location in San Jose, raising concerns over increased wait times. One affected citizen described the experience as chaotic, highlighting the inconvenience of rescheduling without notification. Local advocates and volunteers expressed fears that the San Jose office may lack the capacity to accommodate affected applicants efficiently, potentially complicating their citizenship journeys.
"It's just the time that we wasted. It took us like an hour and a half to get here and then now we gotta go back and missed work for today."
"The Heritage Theatre has hosted naturalization ceremonies once a month since around 2010, serving more than 1,000 people in a day."
