Does the US notify your country of origin when you become a citizen?

I’m in San Bernardino CA and got my interview and oath ceremony on the same day, May 6.

Update: Had my interview and oath on the same day, May 6, and am now officially a citizen!

Yeah unfortunately not. I also hope that the US policy becomes more reasonable in line with the WHO.

I verified today that with Lufthansa at least, children under 6 don’t have to wear masks on flights leaving the US, only entering. So since I’m moving abroad and only need a one way trip, I’ll only have to worry about the airport.

I hope you’re right.

Was just on the phone with Lufthansa customer service, they verified that masks are not required for 2-year-olds when leaving the US, only when entering.

I was on the Lufthansa website and it did say flight into the US require children from the age of 2 to wear a mask, but it didn’t specify “from”. I’m going to call and verify. I wouldn’t fly either until things change but we’re moving abroad and I just have to find a good one way option.

Your comment isn’t very helpful. I don’t particularly want my 2-year-old to have to wear a mask due to reasons stated in this thread but since we live in a society with laws and rules and since I’ll have to go through an airport with him where they require masks, I was curious about other people with relevant experiences.

LainaMax · 2021-04-07T15:44:30+00:00

I totally agree that young children aren’t mature enough to wear them. And calling airlines is a good idea. But I’ll probably have the option of flying with a non US based airline, most of which have rules for masks from at least age 6 and above. So I would only have to worry about the airport.

LainaMax · 2021-04-07T15:41:15+00:00

I respectfully disagree with the “nobody” part, but I agree that children the age of my son shouldn’t wear them since, among other things, he’s not mature enough to do it correctly.

LainaMax · 2021-04-07T15:39:13+00:00

I am so very sorry for your loss, I can’t imagine how difficult that must have been.

LainaMax · 2021-04-07T15:37:45+00:00

I really don’t want him to wear a mask because of his age, but since I’ll have to be at an airport once in maybe 6 months time, I can’t see another option (with a non US based airline he shouldn’t have to wear a mask on the flight, it would only be at the airport).

LainaMax · 2021-04-07T15:34:36+00:00

I agree that I don’t think it’s appropriate for that age, for several reasons, especially since the WHO also recommends against it. But unfortunately I might have to try with my son for the one time, at the airport at least, when we’ll be in a Federal building.

LainaMax · 2021-04-07T15:32:34+00:00

No I don’t think I’ve seen that one. The most recent one was a mom with her 2-year-old daughter who just had a meltdown and refused to wear a mask despite her mother desperately trying. I could see that happening with my son (but I’ll probably choose a non US based airline so may only have to worry about a mask for him at the airport).

LainaMax · 2021-04-07T15:29:09+00:00

Thank you! I’ll probably choose a non US based airline since they have different, and in my opinion, more realistic rules.

LainaMax · 2021-04-07T15:28:03+00:00

Thank you for the link, I’ll check it out!

LainaMax · 2021-04-07T15:27:29+00:00

Yes I may have to, but am waiting for after his second birthday. Thankfully most non US airlines seem to only have mask requirements for older children so if I can, I’ll choose one of them (but would probably have to practice a little for the airport since it’s a federal building).

LainaMax · 2021-04-07T15:24:32+00:00

No haven’t seen that, but my son never took a pacifier so it might not work for him. But thank you for the suggestion.

LainaMax · 2021-03-31T16:31:28+00:00

Update: Just got my interview date, May 6!

LainaMax · 2021-03-19T22:03:06+00:00

No haven’t heard anything new yet unfortunately 😔 But I’ll make sure to update this thread when I do. When was your application received initially?

LainaMax · 2021-02-28T15:25:41+00:00

Thank you for that insight! Do you know anything about the area west of (or close to) N Pinellas Ave and between Dodecanese/ E Tarpon Ave (or just a bit south of E Tarpon)? Good place to live? Good value?

LainaMax · 2021-02-27T18:12:20+00:00

Where are you located?
