Thanks everyone!
We showed up and waited in line for 2 hours, with all documentation, including the final letter from the I.N.S. with the appt date and time, and they had no certificate for him.
We waited and waited - it was like waiting for a pardon from the governor. It was
extreme stress, for hours, and right on 11am they called him up,
63 anxious people were waiting to take the oath.
One lady there who escaped communism with her young son under the cover of darkness from Romania. There she was through all the struggles proud to become an American. It was quite a group.
But alas, they got the approval,
he was number 64. When they called his name he walked up to the federal judge and I saw them laughing and the judge slapping him on the back. He came back, with a blank piece of paper. "It's in the mail" I guess the judge said.
Apparently they misplaced his cert, so he was not even in the lineup.
It's done.
Now he can register to vote.
Now he can gripe and complain alongside the rest of us. (It has never stopped him before, mind you, he is a resident, a tax payer and a contributor to the USA).
