Updating with my Oath date. On the backside of the letter, it requires to answer if I have left the USA between the interview and the Oath Ceremony
(which I did), and to provide documentation to support it. Do you think a printout of the flights will be enough? Copy of the passport stamp? What 
would you guys bring?

Hi alebrije

I have a question about traveling out of US between interview and oath. My interview is scheduled for Sept 26th and I am bound to travel out of US in 1st week of Nov. Hopefully my oath takes place before the travel but if not, what all documents do we need while traveling?

I believe we need to give back our old passport and the new comes in after oath? Am I correct?

Hello kirat.  They do not take away any documents during the interview, you can travel afterwards like you normally would, with your green card and passport (If your travel dates fall between interview and Oath).  

 

If your travel is right after the Oath (where I believe they take away your green card and give you a naturalization certificate) you might want to expedite your US passport to have it in time for your trip. Maybe someone else can chime in with a better option! 

 

Good luck with your interview!

I was IN LINE since June 12 and no dates yet for interview. Been 3 months yesterday. I will wait again another month. If no good news still, that's the time I will send online case status update.  Patience....patience.....patience

Exactly, Can't do anything except waiting :*(

Hi Waitinggame16, I am from chicago too n INLINE since july 3, We are both in the same boat.

 

Do we need to take any step just to check where our file is ?? Infopass ??

 

Thanks

I'm not sure. I'm assuming they would just tell us the last PD for Chicago which is last year.  I feel like we are destined to not be done until next year now. It's so disappointing because we really wanted to spend extended time with family with my FIL being terminal but we won't leave until it's done in case it screws the whole thing up.

I feel the same. The long process time has changed my plans also.

I'm sorry you're also in a similar situation. And we both know that it will be worth it but I think it's fair to feel disappointed

I think a copy of your itinerary is fine!  I'd say your passport but I'm bringing mine with me anyway to my oath, with my greencard.

Exactly, I was planning to visit my home country but now thinking to do that after N-400 approvals since didn't want to take any chances.

 

Thanks for you rreply n please keep us posted if anything updated or got any info from chicago filers

I totally understand. I really wish I didn't have to give up my indian citizenship...it's hard.

 

But hey, it's just a paper right? We are all global citizens
