Hello,

I'm having my interview soon and I hope I'll do well. I was just wondering if the Philadelphia, PA office offers same day Oath after the interview.

Does someone here know?

Thank you in advance.

No I don't think so as of last spring.

Hi Abdarach,

Based on what I've read here on vj, I know that one of the factors that detmines a same day oath is: if you have an interview in the morning, they might have enough time to prepare your oath in the afternoon, and thus you can have the ceremony on the same day.

Also, you can check with other vjers with the same local office to see if they have had such an experience too.

By the way, here is the link to more info about your local (Philadelphia, PA) service center...

Lol...It doesn't say anything about an oath..but at least it give you directions on how to get there....

I don't think that the mis-information line knows any better though, so probably not very helpful to contact them. (lol..they call it the mis-information line for a reason)

The best way is to probably ask them in-person during your interview, as they can give you an approximate or actual oath then..

Hope this helps. Either way, hope you get your oath soon, and good luck with the rest of your journey too.

According to the Philadelphia office website "The Field Office conducts several weekly naturalization ceremonies. Additionally, we participate in judicial ceremonies throughout our jurisdiction."
