Wendy Shu waits to take the Oath of Citizenship on Tuesday, Feb. 23, 2021, at the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services offices in Centennial.
Wendy Shu waited a long time for this day. She took her seat in a large, but mostly empty room with 11 other people at the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services field office in Metro Denver. Everyone wore masks and sat eight feet apart, ready to take the Oath of Allegiance to become United States citizens. At the front of the room, a man stood in a suit, also wearing a mask.
