A
My
name
is
Michael
Horvath
and
I'm.
The
field
office
director
for
the
United
States
Citizenship
and
Immigration
Services
Pittsburgh
field
office.
I
would
like
to
welcome
all
the
candidates
for
naturalization
today,
their
family
members
and
guests
who've
chosen
to
join
them.
For
this
special
occasion.
I
want
to
extend
a
special
thank
you
to
the
Pittsburgh
Pirates
for
hosting
today's
ceremony
and
to
welcoming
Pittsburgh
in
the
office
of
Mayor
William
Peduto
for
their
efforts
in
coordinating
the
ceremony
today.
A
We
also
appreciate
everyone's
patience
and
flexibility
due
to
the
change
of
time
of
the
baseball
game,
and
we
are
looking
forward
to
seeing
the
later
innings.
As
we
celebrate
your
citizenship,
you
will
use
your
tickets
to
enter
the
ballpark
following
the
ceremony.
There's
an
old
saying,
as
American
is
baseball
and
apple
pie.
It
is
fitting
today
that
we
are
here
to
celebrate
this
milestone
in
your
lives.
At
this
time,
I
would
like
to
ask
everybody
to
please
rise
for
the
national
anthem.
A
B
B
The
mayor
launched
welcoming
Pittsburgh
a
couple
years
back
because
he
values
our
growing
immigrant
community
and
wants
to
make
sure
that
everyone
who's
here
wherever
they
are
coming
from,
they
feel
welcome
and
part
of
this
city,
and
he
feels
deep
connection
to
his
own
immigrant
roots
and
that's
exhibited
in
his
and
his
commitment
to
each
of
you
and
I
can
share
on
a
personal
note
as
a
daughter
of
Cuban
immigrants.
This
is
a
very
moving
moment
for
me.
Every
time
I
come
to
one
of
these
services.
B
I
just
feel
so
honored
to
be
able
to
be
a
part
of
your
day,
because
it's
a
very
important
day
and
we
don't
take
it
lightly.
It's
a
big
commitment
and
it's
our
honor
to
be
part
of
this
and
to
be
able
to
lift
up
your
stories
in
the
city
and
we're
so
thankful
that
you've
made
Pittsburgh
your
home,
whether
you've
been
here
for
five
years
or
45
years.
We're
thankful
that
we're
a
part
of
this
journey
with
you.
B
So
thank
you
very
much,
and
it's
also
an
honor
for
us
to
be
doing
this
with
the
Pirates
as
I
said:
we're
Cubans,
my
family,
so
Cubans
love
baseball.
So
it's
a
double
double
privilege
to
be
here
with
you
today.
So
so.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
letting
us
share
in
this
moment
with
you
and
thank
you
to
USCIS
for
your
collaboration.
A
Thank
You
miss
Cruz.
Today
we
have
two
other
very
special

from
US
Citizenship
and
Immigration

A
C
Okay
and
it
looks
like
the
weather
is
holding
out,
so
that's
a
good
thing:
I'm
gonna
call
the
countries
and,
as
Michael
said,
when
you
hear
your
country,
we
want
you
to
stand
up
so
that
we
can
really
see
what
we
mean
by
it
by
the
United
States
being
a
nation
of
immigrants
that
that
people
are
coming
from
all
corners
of
the
earth
here
to
be
United,
States
and
I
see
a
number
of
you
wearing
the
gold
and
black
the
Pittsburgh
colors.
Yes,
that's
great,
but
for
right
now
and
for
about
the
next
25
minutes.
C
I
wanted
you
to
think
of
your
team
colors
as
red,
white
and
blue,
because
that's
the
team
that
you
belong
to
as
soon
as
this
joy
and
minister
zo.
So,
let's
start
with
20
applicants
for
naturalization
today
from
14
different
countries,
Bhutan,
please

People's
Republic
of
China
Colombia,
Ecuador,
India,
Italy,
Nepal,
Pakistan,
the
Philippines
South
Africa,

the
United
Kingdom
and
Vietnam.
C
Uscis
chief
of
staff,
Juliet
Choi
on
behalf
of
the
United
States
government.
It
is
my
pleasure
to
present
these
candidates
for
naturalization.
Each
of
the
20
candidates
has
been
personally
examined
under
oath
by
a
designated
officer.
Each
has
demonstrated
an
understanding
of
the
English
language
unless
exempt
and
knowledge
and
understanding
of
the
fundamentals
of
history
and
principles
and
form
of
the
government
of
the
United
States.
C
Each
has
been
found
to
be
a
person
of
good
moral
character
attached
to
the
principles
of
the
Constitution
of
the
United
States
and
well
disposed
to
the
good
order
and
Happiness
of
the
United
States.
The
investigations
of
the
government
have
been
completed
in
their
cases
and
each
has
been
found
to
meet
all
the
requirements
of
the
law
to
be
naturalized.
D
Lay
Dee's
and
gentlemen
and
your
families
and
friends
as
chief
of
staff
of
US
Citizenship
and
Immigration
Services,
it's
my
privilege,
my
absolute
pleasure
to
administer
the
oath
of
allegiance
to
the
candidates,
all
20
candidates
for
naturalization
assembled
here
today,
candidates
for
citizenship.
Kindly
allow
me
to
ask
you
to
please
stand
and
raise
your
right
hand
and
repeat
after
me,
I.
D
D
We,
the
women
and
men
of
USCIS,
have
the
honor
of
being
part
of
your
journey
to
u.s.
citizenship.
From
the
day
you
first
arrived
here
in
the
United
States
to
this
very
moment
when
you
took
the
oath
of
allegiance,
we
are
absolutely
humbled
to
be
here
to
be
able
to
share,
in
your
sense
of
pride,
joy
and
personal
triumph
on
a
personal
note
for
me,
as
we
shared
I
do
serve
as
a
chief
of
staff
for
USCIS,
but
I'm.
The
daughter
of
Korean
immigrants
who
came
to
the
u.s.
D
in
the
1960s
and
Pittsburgh
happens
to
be
my
birthday.
So
for
me
it
is
an
absolute
personal
pleasure
to
be
here
today
with
you.
Many
of
you
have
crossed
oceans,
endure
very
long
waits
or
overcome
tremendous
obstacles
to
join
this
great
nation
of
immigrants,
and
it
is
absolutely
fitting
that
we're
welcoming
you
here
in
PNC
Park,
home
of
baseball's
pirate
Pittsburgh
Pirates.
While
baseball
is
the
most
American
of
games
known
as
our
national
pastime.
D
It
is
extremely
diverse,
as
Betty
and
her
family
alludes
to
major
league
baseball
players
hail
from
all
over
the
globe
from
Cuba
to
Australia,
to
South
Korea.
So
many
more
countries,
the
sport
is
representative
of
the
incredible
range
of
nationalities,
ethnicities
and
backgrounds
that
make
up
the
population
and
the
vibrancy
of
our
great
country.
It
is
also
fitting
that
we're
holding
today's
ceremony
here
in
Pittsburgh,
which
became
known
as
a
city
of
immigrants,
as
people
migrated
here
to
work
in
the
steel
mills
in
the
late
1800s
and
early
1900s
throughout
our
country's
history.
D
The
immigrants
of
Pittsburgh
have
helped
shape
this
great
nation
in
so
many
many
ways.
Andrew
Carnegie
born
in
Scotland
is
probably
the
most
well
known
immigrant
to
call
Pittsburgh
home.
He
became
America's
steel
magnate
founding
the
Carnegie
steel
company
later
in
life.
He
donated
over
300
million
dollars
to
create
educational
institutions
around
the
country,
including
Pittsburgh's
Carnegie,
Institute
of
Technology,
now
Carnegie
Mellon
University
and
the
Carnegie
museums
of
the
Pittsburgh
Henry
John
Heinz,
an
American
business
businessman
who
founded
the
HJ
Heinz
Company,
was
a
child
of
Bavarian
immigrants.
D
His
contributions
would
change
the
American
food
industry
here
in
the
US
and
I
think
around
the
globe
forever,
and
the
first
polio
vaccine
was
discovered
by
Jonas
Salk
at
the
University
of
Pittsburgh.
Dr.
Salk,
like
mr.
Heinz,
was
also
the
child
of
European
immigrants,
his
parents,
having
come
to
the
u.s.
from
Poland
today,
Pittsburgh
is
known
for
its
health
care
technology,
bioscience
industries,
Americans
liked
Ising
Lee,
a
Carnegie
Mellon,
University
researcher,
originally
from
China,
also
helping
to
reinvent
Pittsburgh's
economy.
D
Dr.
Lee
is
a
renowned
scientist
studying
the
human
visual
system
at
the
Center
for
the
neural
basis
of
cognition.
It
is
because
of
the
hard
work
of
American
immigrants.
Like
you,
your
friends,
your
families
that
make
Pittsburgh
at
America
really
truly
a
pinnacle
of
creativity
and
hard
work
throughout.
D
Immigrants
have
contributed
to
the
strength
of
this
city
and
the
nation
and
helped
to
make
the
u.s.
a
world
leader
with
our
innovations
and
businesses
you
join.
You
have
now
joined
a
very
special
of
diverse
esteemed
group
of
naturalized
citizens
upon
taking
today's
oath
of
allegiance.
You
hail
from
many
different
countries,
but
regardless
of
where
you're
from
you
are
all
united
by
the
same
rights,
responsibilities
and
freedoms
guaranteed
by
the
US
Constitution,
all
20
of
you
each
and
every
one
of
you
have
new
opportunities
to
contribute
to
your
community
and
our
country.
I
challenge.
D
You
I
encourage
you
to
use
your
talents
to
leave
a
legacy
of

for
future
generations
of

A
F
Michael
say
my
name
is
Luis
Guzman
I'm,
originally
from
Waiakea
Ecuador,
that's
in
South
America.
Although
people
don't
believe
that
I
am
from
Ecuador
my
journey
to
become
a
u.s.
citizen
started
about
16
years
ago,
I
came
to
go
to
college.
I
came
to
play
basketball.
You
know
the
young
person
has
some
dreams
and
I
was
able
to
start
in
a
small
college
in
Newark
New
Jersey
my
freshman
year,
and
then
I
moved
over
to
another
college
in
Burlington
Vermont
and
my
last
two
years.
F
I
finished
here
in
Pittsburgh,
Robert,
Morris,
University
and
I
was
you
know,
lucky
enough
to
get
a
full
scholarship
which
paid
for
my
my
college,
education,
so
I've
been
in
Pittsburgh
for
the
last
14
years
and
I
call
this
home
I
met
my
wife,
my
lovely
wife
sitting
over
there
about
eight
years
ago,
and
we
we
have
a
16
month-old
child
Louise
also
is
sitting
back
there
as
far
as
opportunities
in
this
country.
I
mean.
That
was
one
of
the
main
reasons
that
made
me
come
mentioned.
I
got
a
basketball
scholarship
to
go
to
college.
F
My
education
was
paid,
for
which
was
great.
I
was
able
to
find
work
right
after
college
work
for
a
great
company
called
PGT,
trucking
and
I'm
still
working
for
them.
I
made
great
friends
along
the
way,
some
of
which
are
here
with
me
and
I,
appreciate
that
I
bought
a
house
four
years
ago.
You
know
I
have
a
career
going,
so
a
lot
of
opportunities
have
been
given
to
me,
and
you
know
it's
been
great
for
me
and
finally
I'm
at
this
stage
that
I'm
becoming
a
u.s.
F
A
Thank
You
mr.
Guzman.
At
this
time,
I
would
like
to
open
the
floor
to
any
of
the
other
candidates
who
would
like
to
maybe
briefly
share
their
story
or
maybe
say
a
note
of
thank
you
to
somebody
who's
in
the
audience.
Who's
been
along
their
journey
with
them.
Do
we
have
anybody
who
would
like
to
come
up
and
speak
today
is
your
day
today?
Is
your
opportunity
to
share
so
and
and
again
the
stories
are
all
fantastic,
as
we
just
heard
from
mr.
Guzman.
You
all
have
different
stories.
A
A
No
takers,
that's
okay,
I,
understand
it's
difficult,
getting
up
in
front
of
a
group
and
sharing,
but
one
thing
that
I
do
want
to
stress
to
you
is
make
sure
you
share
your
story
with
your
relatives
and
with
your
friends.
I
know
that
my
grandmother
always
shared
her
story
with
me.
She
came
to
the
United
States
when
she
was
eight
years
old
from
hungry.
This
was
just
before
World
War
one
broke
out
in
Europe.
They
got
out
of
there
in
time
they
came
to
the
United
States.
They
had
family
here
at
eight
years
old.
A
She
was
the
first
to
go
to
school.
She
was
the
first
to
speak.
English
and
I
always
captured
my
heart
to
hear
her,
tell
that
story
and
working
for
US,
Citizenship
and
Immigration
Services
and
thinking
about
what
she
went
through.
It's
really
satisfying
for
me
so
make
sure,
even
though
you
didn't
share
today,
make
sure
you
share
your
stories
because,
a
hundred
years
from
now,
your
grandchild
might
be
up
in
front
of
a
group
sharing
your
story
with
them.
I'm
going
to
try
for
another
round
of
audience,
participation
we'll
see
how
this
goes.
E
A
E
A
A
At
this
time
we
will
be
presenting
each
of
the
new
citizens
with
their
certificate
of
naturalization.
When
you
hear
your
name
called,
please
come
up
and
receive
your
certificate
chief
of
staff,
Juliet
Choi
will
present
your
certificate
director.
Susan
kurta
will
present
you
with
a
flag.
You
will
receive
congratulations
from
USCIS
district
director
for
pennsylvania,
michael
borgin,
and
this
is
also
an
opportunity
for
people
to
take
photos.
Betty
Cruz.
Will
you
join
us
in
the
congratulatory
line?
