Rescheduling Oath Ceremony: Who's Actually Done It?

[gb6435 1]

Hey VJers,

Looking to see if anyone here has rescheduled their oath ceremony with or without success and how long your processing time was.

I know a lot of people on here say "DON'T DO IT!" but am wondering to hear about people who have.

Thanks,

Gregory

No reason not to if needed - last year, my daughter received her oath date and since it was important we attend as a family we gave that exact reason (we the parents had pre-planned vacation on that day) - she received a new date for a month later, no problems. You've passed the interview at the point you're receiving your oath ceremony letter - it does NOT affect whether you become a citizen...don't let people scare you

Each office has it's on frequency of ceremonies, we happen to live in the DC area where oath ceremonies are performed regularly.

How old was your daughter? I have an oath ceremony in line for scheduling for my 9 year old son... but I thought only kids over 14 have to attend an oath ceremony. Wondering your experience with this.

Not many people who have completed the process continue to visit this website and not many people reschedule their ceremonies, so you may not get a lot of replies.

In short, based on what I've read, risks include USCIS messing up your rescheduling request or long delays if your city rarely holds ceremonies.

In most cases, based on what I've read, USCIS doesn't mess up the request... and the more important factor is how often ceremonies are held.

So yes, it's a question of when you'll become a citizen, not a question of whether or not it'll happen.
