Ok, not to sound stupid...

once the forms have been filed, the interview takes place at the local office, right? In our case, I imagine that would be Philadelphia.

Then once a person has been approved, then comes the Oath Ceremony. That's at the same place? I think I remember reading that some places have same day ceremonies. How do we find out which places have that option?

Yeah, I know - I'm jumping ahead. I do tend to do that. I like to know what's coming (when possible). Helps me stress less.

I'm sure there are others who would like to know as well - and some of them might need to know soon.

Thanks!

Usually the centers that do interviews are the same centers that have oath ceremonies. Same day ceremonies are possible, but not options that we (applicants) can choose. If your interview falls on the same day as the ceremony and early enough for the IO to add your name to the list, then you can get it then, if not, sometimes the IO hands you a letter telling you when to come back or they tell you that you will receive a letter with an oath date.
