M.A. Dworkin U.S.A. - Hundreds of immigrants, who had already passed every step in the years-long naturalization process, and needed only to take the oath of allegiance at ceremonies, were abruptly halted in the process as they awaited their citizenship certificates at naturalization ceremonies in a number of cities across the country.
