Oath Letter

[hearsay 1]

The oath letter says to bring the following:

This letter

PR Card

Reentry Permit/Refugee Travel Document (we don't have these, maybe they ask everyone to bring these?)

Immigration Documents (I guess this means all the papers we have acquired during our journey?)

If the naturalization application is on behalf of your child(ren) bring the child(ren). (I have a child that will become a citizen based upon me becoming a citizen. Does that mean I should bring my child?)

Thanks.

Wife was certainly not a refugee, so didn't even have that to bring, immigration documents boiled down to bringing your green card, you gotta have that. Unfortunately our daughter turned 18, mostly because of USCIS delays in our processing, so she stayed at home. But if you have a child that went through the AOS and I-751 that is under 18 years of age, definitely bring that child, will save you another 700 bucks or so, plus that long process. Don't forget your oath letter, can fill out the eight questions, but don't sign it, have to sign that in front of an officer, turn in your green card, then wait for the show to begin.

Make sure your certificate is correct before leaving, correcting it later can cause severe delays. Good to have someone with a level head with you, can be an emotional experience. Not the ceremony itself, but the years it took to get this far and the realization, this period in your life is over.

Yes, I had a child go through the entire process with me accept the N-400. She will receive a certificate too? ...I think she will simply derive her citizenship from me.

....can fill out the eight questions...

What are the 8 questions on the oath letter?

[jsnearline 2]

questions asking whether you left the country, if you committed any offesnes, etc... They just want to make sure you're still eligible to take your Oath.

Any question in there about a change of address? I may have to move out of state between the interview and the oath, depending on a job offer, and I'm not sure if I should re-schedule my oath for the nearest location to where I live which could be 30 minutes away or 6 hours away depending on where I end up or if I'll not attempt to complicate things further by just taking the date assigned in the oath letter and fly back to Tampa for the day to take the oath and get it over and done with. But I don't want to do that if it meant lying on the oath letter if it asks about a change of address.

I wonder if I could ask the IO at the interview to schedule the oath for another location out of state if I have a solid job offer by then, but have not moved yet.
