There was literally over 100 people from China, Philippines and Mexico each.It was weird but they didn't aloud my wife and me to sit together even though we both did oath.

Congrats to the new citizens!

I have a question, no 2 questions.

What do you have to bring to the ceremony to apply for passport.

What do you have to do to change the SNN?

Thanks!

For passport you will need Naturalization paper that you just received ( sign it) form that they gave you on interview, picture and check.

To update SSN you need to wait for naturalization paper to be mailed back to you and I think nothing else.

You have to bring your permanent resident card to the oath to give it off at the ceremony.

Once the oath is over, you will be issued a naturalization certificate as proof of of your new U.S. citizenship. This naturalization certificate replaces the permanent resident card that you would have given off. You will need to show the naturalization certificate to apply for the passport as well as to update your Social Security.

Merci beaucoup !

Thanks.

It''s just a guess, the IO did not mention any dates.

Yes you are correct few field offices in Southern California have the Oath Ceremonies in Los Angeles at the L.A. Convention Center.

Haha, thanks! Will update as soon as I'm scheduled.

So looks like you're targeting the 27th of August ceremony? I'm not sure, but I think you fall under the Los Angeles jurisdiction like Christi85, correct?

Good luck!

I became a US citizen yesterday!!! Thank you all for keeping me company during the wait. My visa journey is finally over.

DONE WITH USCIS FOREVER!!!

Here is my oath ceremony experience:

Oath letter said to report at 10am at mechanics hall in Worchester MA. Keep in mind if you are going to a larger venue such as this one, the check-in time is staggered. Try to find out from the venue's website for the actual start time of the ceremony if you have guests coming and don't want to make them wait too long. The actual ceremony in my case wasn't scheduled until noon so in-laws didn't get there until 11:30.

I got there at 9:30 and waited outside the building until it was my turn to check in, was checked in by the same IO that interviewed me who proceeded to verify my answers on the back of the oath letter. He stamped the front of the letter and wrote down a number corresponding to where I have to sit in the auditorium. Hang on to that oath letter. I sat around waiting for the actual ceremony to start. My husband who came with me had to sit in the balcony (designated for guests) People continued to arrive in waves. Right before it started, they came around and collected everyone's oath letters to be exchanged with the certificate after the ceremony. Ceremony started with a slide show/photo montage: pretty images of Ellis Island and past oath ceremonies. A welcome message from USCIS, instructions on voter registration, then the judge finally arrived. The naturalization oath was administered, followed by the oath of allegiance. The judge called each country that was represented telling us to stand up as he says them, missed a few but the crowd yelled out the rest.Judge said a few words, told us to congratulate each other as new citizens, we sang the national anthem. Judge left, and they closed with the song Proud to be an American. Then the IOs went around and handed out the naturalization certificates and that was it! By the way it is possible i have the order of events during ceremony mixed up because once the judge arrived, the oath taking part itself went by really quickly. I didn't do the passport application after because I had already made an appointment at the passport agency for today.

We all exited after tripple checking to make sure everything was correct on my certificate (and taking a few pictures of course), walked a few blocks to a nice restaurant called the Boynton (named after the architect that designed mechanics hall apparently), ate ourselves silly and went home happy.

Good luck to everyone else!!

At my interview I did not receive a passport application form, but my guess is that is the same thing you can download from the DOS website.

It gives me an uneasy feeling to part from the Naturalization Certificate you just received, knowing that the only way you can prove your citizenship is in someone else's hands.

For passport you will need Naturalization paper that you just received ( sign it) form that they gave you on interview, picture and check.

To update SSN you need to wait for naturalization paper to be mailed back to you and I think nothing else.

Mistere,

I would not give this a second thought. I have not read a single case of a complication arising from sending off a Naturalisation Certificate in conjunction with a passport application. If you are still worried however, you might consider applying in person at your local National Passport Agency for a same-day passport (if such a facility is available in your region). $60 more expensive, but perhaps a worthy investment for the peace of mind it will lend.

Congratulations to you!

I became a US citizen yesterday!!! Thank you all for keeping me company during the wait. My visa journey is finally over.

DONE WITH USCIS FOREVER!!!

Here is my oath ceremony experience:

Oath letter said to report at 10am at mechanics hall in Worchester MA. Keep in mind if you are going to a larger venue such as this one, the check-in time is staggered. Try to find out from the venue's website for the actual start time of the ceremony if you have guests coming and don't want to make them wait too long. The actual ceremony in my case wasn't scheduled until noon so in-laws didn't get there until 11:30.

I got there at 9:30 and waited outside the building until it was my turn to check in, was checked in by the same IO that interviewed me who proceeded to verify my answers on the back of the oath letter. He stamped the front of the letter and wrote down a number corresponding to where I have to sit in the auditorium. Hang on to that oath letter. I sat around waiting for the actual ceremony to start. My husband who came with me had to sit in the balcony (designated for guests) People continued to arrive in waves. Right before it started, they came around and collected everyone's oath letters to be exchanged with the certificate after the ceremony. Ceremony started with a slide show/photo montage: pretty images of Ellis Island and past oath ceremonies. A welcome message from USCIS, instructions on voter registration, then the judge finally arrived. The naturalization oath was administered, followed by the oath of allegiance. The judge called each country that was represented telling us to stand up as he says them, missed a few but the crowd yelled out the rest.Judge said a few words, told us to congratulate each other as new citizens, we sang the national anthem. Judge left, and they closed with the song Proud to be an American. Then the IOs went around and handed out the naturalization certificates and that was it! By the way it is possible i have the order of events during ceremony mixed up because once the judge arrived, the oath taking part itself went by really quickly. I didn't do the passport application after because I had already made an appointment at the passport agency for today.

We all exited after tripple checking to make sure everything was correct on my certificate (and taking a few pictures of course), walked a few blocks to a nice restaurant called the Boynton (named after the architect that designed mechanics hall apparently), ate ourselves silly and went home happy.

Good luck to everyone else!!

Hey Darth,

I was curious when I read your post, so I did a quick search and found three cases where naturalization certificates were lost. The applicants' only recourse was to pay the fee for a replacement certificate from USCIS.

http://www.***removed***/forum/showthread.php/96175-Lost-Certificate-of-Naturalization-by-Passport-office-can-t-get-Indian-Visa

https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090408155156AA9Wysc

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/446271-passport-agency-never-sent-back-naturalization-certificate/

This does seem to be very a very rare occurrence, though, so I agree with you that there's no need to worry. When my turn comes, I will try my best to apply at a Passport Office rather than at the Post Office... I guess that will eliminate one step where something could go wrong.

For a review of each step of my N-400 naturalization process, from application to oath ceremony, please click here.
