My test is february 26th

[Dana-Mića 51]

My test for the citizenship is on February 26th at 7:55am in Garden City, New York. I herd that sometimes you can take the Oath the same day. Now I am wondering if this is true. Is there a chance I can take it the same day (I am pretty sure I will pass the test since I have lived here for 11 years).

Questions:

1) Is there a chance I will be able to take the oath the same day as the test?

2) If not when will I approximatly have to do the oath?

3) I have a ticket to travel out of the country for March 22nd what is the chance of me traveling there with an American passport?

Unless I'm mistaken, I do not think you can get same day oath in Garden City but could get your oath letter for a later oath date after the interview. I hope I'm mistaken though. Good luck!

I hope so too because I all ready have my ticket for Serbia on the 22nd of March and it is the only time I can go till the end of the year to see my fiance and family. I had family friends tell me that they waited around for hours after they took the test and they were allowed to take the Oath. I am hoping my case will be like one of theirs.

If you pass your interview, best in a very nice fashion to ask about your oath ceremony and attempt to get some kind of a commitment. Could even explain about your pending trip and beg if they can assist you in any way. That's all you can do. Still can take your trip with a valid foreign passport and green card, but may delay your oath ceremony. Could ask your IO to delay your oath ceremony until your return and make a note of it.

The big thing to do, is to discuss it, just don't walk out and wonder.

Oh, to the best of my knowledge, all field offices can generate your certificate, it's not like they have to send it someplace like your green card to get it done.

Thanx Nick for the advice, I agree with you. I talked it over with friends who say that sometimes there is an Oath being held for others at the same time as the interview for some so I am going to hold my fingers crossed and hope that that is the case. I will either way check with them.
