Hi everyone, firstly, thanks so much for such a wonderful site. I have found it so helpful. This is my first post.

I have been approved for naturalization and was notified today that "I am in the queue to be assigned to an oath ceremony".

The issue that i am a little worried about is that between now and any possible upcoming oath ceremony that i might be scheduled for, i need to travel to Canada for 14 days on business. In my interview, the officer asked me whether i have any upcoming travel plans and i mentioned this upcoming journey, but he didn't say anything one way or another. It would be so terrible to have gone over all of these hurdles, only to have my case denied due to an unavoidable trip. (How i envy the same-day oath takers!)

Would anyone be able to advise me? Thank you so much!

Just wait until the Oath notice is mailed to you. If not possible ,try to contact Immigration a week ahead your trip to find out when your Oath will take place , if I am not wrong it might be possible to reschedule with a fair reason. Just call them to find out which are your options.

The officer did not say anything because your travel plans of 14 days was not a problem that would affect your application. Unless those days would have broken your physical presense (which means you have been absent from the US for half [-14 days] of the time you were permanent resident) it will not have any affect on your application. The USCIS will send you a form that you will have to sign the day of your oath ceremony and in that letter, you will be asked whether you have traveled between the interview and that day (oath day). The only thing you need to say yes and indicate how many days you were outside of the US. Don't worry, carry on with your plans.

If you travel conflicts with your oath ceremony schedule, you can re-schedule your ceremony by returning the appointment letter with a note "Please re-schedule"

It is no problem if you need to reschedule your Oath. You do this by mailing back the N-445 you'll receive.

Sometimes people miss their appointment due to some sh*t happening last minute. Also not a problem. Just apply for new appointment. You don't have a problem either way, guaranteed.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
