Congratulations - wow, they ran that very smoothly for so many people.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

They ask you to bring any immigration stuff like work permits, traveling docs, green cards etc. The main thing you really need to take with you is the oath letter and the current GC. They staple the GC to your oath letter when you check in.

I wouldn't worry about the old cards and stuff.

good luck!
