Definitely take the shredded GC parts with you and explain what happened. Otherwise, it could possibly affect your being able to go through with the Oath ceremony.

I'd rather be safe than sorry, so I would take it with me.

Definitely bring the shredded pieces but with it pieced/sticked back together if you could, at least try. I mean they'll make you turned in your GC at the oath ceremony and then shred it for you anyways. I don't think it'll be a big problem but I've never heard of or experienced that kind of case. Oh! btw, just a suggestion, have you scanned or made a copy of the green card before it was shredded? If yes, then please print or bring that copy with you as well and that would be very helpful if they doubt you. If not, then why not give USCIS a call or make an infopass and ask them what you should do, I mean if you have the time to spare, it's always better to be well prepared than less prepared. I have a sense that if you call USCIS, they're gonna tell you to order a replacement GC and pay a fee, I'm not sure the form number or the price, but I really don't think you have enough time for the replacement to arrive before your oath ceremony. Anyways, GOOD LUCK! :star:
