Oath Question

[warlord 72]

Ok got my Oath letter in the mail, so a few weeks after the interview, so that was good to know. And I have the ceremony in 3 more weeks. Yay.

So question, it tells me to bring my Green Card (I knew that), but then also it says to bring my re-entry permits or refuge travel documents. I don't have either of those obviously. Just have the green card as they took my travel docs when I got the green card (along with the EAD).

So what should I bring instead? It also said bring all other INS documents I may have, well I don't think I have any really, other then the FP and reciepts I've gotten back from them.

Just curious what people have brought there with them.

I take it the next step after that is to go to SSN and get my number officially converted to state USC on it and then I guess I need to file for a passport...

Just bring your green card it'll be fine, they just take it from you there at the ceremony and send them to some place to be destroyed. At the ceremony they will give you the certificate of naturalization, with that you can go to the SS office and get your status changed, then you have to apply for a passport and you have to send them the original certificate of naturalization, so make a copy before, even though a copy isn't legal evidence that you are a citizen, it helps in case they lose your original in the mail.

Ok cool, sounds pretty straight forward as I figured it probably would be, just wanted to double check and find out I forgot something important and have the whole thing delayed. So that should be it then, just the SSN changed and apply for a passport.

Guess I'll have to start reading up on the passport thing now, that'll probably take some work...

Don't forget to register to vote too...

They usually have a table at the oath ceremony...

That's funny, never thought they'd have a voting register there. Guess that makes you feel like a real American when you get your certificate...
