The U.S. naturalization ceremony that was scheduled to be held at Missouri State University has been cancelled, according to an MSU press release.
The U.S. District Court of the Western District of Missouri cancelled the event due to the ongoing federal government shutdown.
The university was set to host the ceremony on Wednesday, October 29 in partnership with the court to welcome new citizens during a special on-campus event.
The release also indicates that there are no plans to reschedule the ceremony at this time, and applicants should contact U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services regarding options.
