Dear Ana,

Today I write this letter, not as someone anxiously waiting for an answer from USCIS, but as a newly naturalized citizen of this great country.

I want to give you a kazillion thanks for helping me in my N-400 case. I do not know if you recall but my case was being held up because USCIS thought I was already a citizen and I had this burden of proving that I was not. With your help in inquiring into the case, the bureaucratic red tape finally ended.

As I was sitting in the oath ceremony yesterday in Campbell, CA, I was watching this video about how great this nation is and the men and the women who serve (and some of whom have died) the country. You know… the usual tear-jerker stuff. To be honest, I personally don’t know too many people who have died in wars so it did not really “move” me per se. That and probably the guy next to me who was breathing a bit too loud, which made the experience quite noisy and unpleasant. But I did think about the people who have helped me in this journey that I started 8 years ago, including you.

I want you to know that even though I might have been just another “case” (and I am sure you get swamped with lots of them), there is a face and a story behind each and every one. Even if you find yourself frustrated at work sometime, please remember that because you took time and effort to look into my case, you have made an incredible and profound impact in my life.

Thanks Ana. Your help meant the world to me. I cannot express how much joy, fulfillment, and peace have come to me within the last 24 hours.

God bless and I wish you an abundance of health, wealth, and happiness to you, your family, and your friends. 

Much in gratitude,

TaeWoo Kim
