Every year on July 4, the United States celebrates Independence Day. On this day in 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence declaring that the 13 American colonies considered themselves a new nation - the United States of America - and were no longer part of the British Empire.

USCIS usually commemorates this day with very special naturalization ceremonies.

This year's Independence Day events will include special naturalization ceremonies around the country.
