Our certificate arrived last week! Thanks to both the admins, and everyone on this thread, for all the sage counsel! And good luck to all of those still waiting.

Here's the relevant snippit from the invitation:

We did the oath ceremony yesterday via Zoom. It was really remarkable, both logistically and emotionally.154 people, all online at the same time, being moved from Zoom room to room as the verification process progresses, and then recombining for the oath and anthem. It is truly amazing how...
