Aside from the oath letter and Greencard, what else should I bring? The list says "other immigration documents" which is pretty vague. I'm hoping others can tell me their experience on what is asked for or what I should bring just in case. There are no changes with my situation from interview to oath. :) thank you!

My Journey:

We met through a study-abroad program in Shanghai, China in August of 2009

We got engaged March of 2010

I received my K1 VISA in 6 months (June-December 2010)

We were married 04/02/2011
I received my conditional 2-year greencard (AOS) in 2.5 months with no interview (April-June 2011)

Our son was born 02/03/2013

I received my masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology 04/17/2013

I received my 10-year greencard (ROC) in 3 months with no interview (March-June 2013)

My husband returned from deployment 06/20/2013

My naturalization journey took 4 months (April-August 2014)

I became a US citizen on 08/01/2014

Received passport in 3 weeks (regular processing)

Required:

1) Green Card

2) Oath Ceremony notice/N445 (duly filled and signed the day of your ceremony)

3) Any travel documents other than your Green Card issued by the USCIS since you become a Legal Permanent Resident (Advance Parole, Refuge Permit, etcetera)

4) State ID

Recommended:

1) Passports (just in case your run into an immigration officer who wishes to verify your international travel since the interview)

2) Social Security Card (in case you have enough time to run down to the Social Security office and update your status)

3) Two passport photographs (at some ceremonies, applicants are given facilities to apply for their US passports; two passport photographs would be quite handy)

Congratulations and good luck!

Thanks so much! Will they need both green cards? My 2 year one too? It was taken from me when I did an info pass appt a year ago and asked for the stamp on my passport. Oh well, it's noted on my passport anyway. But I have my current, 10 yr one. I'll try to look for my ead!

I have a question about this, would you have Advance Parole after becoming a Legal Permanent Resident? Once you are a resident, there would be no need for Advance Parole? You can travel on your green card.
