what happens if we delay the citizenship interview.

so here is the deal

i applied for N400 - Jan 26th 2012

received letter that i am ready for interview scheduling on Mar 26th 2012

received letter that i fingerprints are expired on June 3rd 2012

received new etter for fingerprints scheduling on July 6th 2012

If I was you, I would get the fingerprints done and see when the interview will be scheduled for, which could be sooner than you think. Passing the interview doesn't mean that you will take your oath the same day, depends on the local office.

If you have an upcoming international flight right after taking the oath, you can get your passport in a day at a passport office. Check online if a passport office is close by where you are.

my friend's wife was on had the same issue. I know there are 2 offices where you can apply and get your passport on the same day, one in Philly and another in DC - I am sure you can find one there - you would need to apply there is your trip is 14 days or less, you would take an appointment and apply...she had her appointment at 8:30 am and she was told to pick her passport at 2pm...good luck.
