With their permission we are so pleased to publish a photograph of Clifford and Denise Schlemmer recently taken at their citizenship ceremony.
Persons who have successfully applied for naturalisation or registration as British citizens must take the oath (or affirm) and pledge allegiance to the Queen before a certificate of naturalisation or registration will be handed to them.
The Schlemmers have assured us that their UK immigration journey culminating in so-called ‘earned citizenship’ was worth all the sacrifices they have made over the years. Their determination to ‘earn their citizenship’ is an inspiration to us all!
The support, assistance and encouragement to cross every bridge given by their son, Byron, didn’t go unnoticed.
Congratulations to Byron, parents and the rest of the Schlemmer family!
Of course, Clifford and Denise are now able to apply for their first adult British passport!
