Once you're sworn in you can apply for a US passport immediately. Call the passport agency closest to you and set up an appointment.

Optionally you can write the USCIS back and have your oath ceremony rescheduled, and you can have it once you're back stateside.

Good luck!

Sorry, I misread your post... Ask your interviewer if you can get sworn in in time to apply for a passport, otherwise ask that the ceremony date be set on a date after your return.

Tell the interviewer that you need to go out of the country for a serious reason very soon and ask if he can arrange the Oath ceremony as soon as possible. If he/she is nice she probably can help you.
