LOL I don't see a camera listed here:

You must bring the following with you:

This letter, WITH ALL THE QUESTIONS ON PAGE 2 ANSWERED. TYPE OR PRINT ANSWERS IN

BLACK INK.

Permanent Resident Card.

Reentry Permit or Refugee Travel Document.

Any Immigration documents you may have.

If the naturalization application is on behalf of your child (children), bring your child (children).

Other.

Guess if you ain't got no Reentry Permit or Refugee Travel Document. And/or Any Immigration documents you may have. You can't bring them, but what the heck is OTHER? Or is that the camera?

It's been a long ride, Tammi, pleased your journey is close to being over.

LOL, make sure to wear proper attire. Or is that at-tire, hmmm, do have some old tires I could wear, if that dang oath letter ever comes here. Maybe tomorrow.

Bring anything you may need in order to support the answers to the questions on the back of the oath letter.

In our case, we had traveled internationally after the interview, so Lucy brought boarding passes and stamped passport to establish the dates of travel. Not that it really mattered; she could have left the US the day after the interview and come back the day before the oath and she wouldn't have been in any danger of being ineligible.

But chances are, you'll only really need the green card and the oath letter.

Ha, that's what I was wondering. I think we will just bring the PR card and the letter.

Let's not even get in to what to wear!!!! :) Tom is wearing his American tie though, haha kind of dorky, but when else is he ever going to wear it?????????

We were just downtown tonight, and have to go SO early tomorrow morning. OH fun. Definitely bringing the camera and will post some pics of the oath ceremony and our party tomorrow night.

Immigration documents are Green Cards, EAD's, Travel Permits, AP Documents, I-94's, Etc. Anything from the USCIS in your possession that granted a benefit.

So if you still have the expired GC from before your I-751, you're supposed to turn that in as well. But it's not as big a deal since it's expired. We plan on bringing it to our oath ceremony.

MOST IMPORTANT THING TO BRING IS YOURSELF.... You think I am joking ,I read someone who was so worried and uptight on what to bring and gather all his things and stayed up all nighty long and then slept right thru, nevre made it and then he had to get it reschedule which took him about a year... So remember to bring yourself. :P

Yes, we were already there at the time of postings. They do the ceremony at the lovely hour of 8 am!

My husband's ceremony was at 10:00 am, but we still had to be there at 7:00! What time did you have to be there?

We just had to be there at 8. The judge came in at 9. I can't believe you had to be there three hours early!!!
