Tony Clark, a Campbell resident, faced uncertainty after the cancellation of his citizenship oath ceremony, originally scheduled for March 12. After 35 years in the U.S., he recently applied for citizenship and was concerned about an upcoming international trip without a U.S. passport. The city of Campbell learned that the USCIS terminated their contract for naturalization ceremonies at the Heritage Theatre, which had hosted these events for years. The cancellation was attributed to a government code, but specifics were not provided, causing confusion for local officials and prospective citizens like Clark.
Clark expressed, "When I got the notice, my first thought was there was an issue with my citizenship, despite it having already been approved."
The city manager emphasized, "USCIS cited a government code that gives them the right to terminate a contract for sole convenience, leaving us in the dark."
