i also heard we have to bring 2 passport style photos to the ceremony...is that correct? my wife wants to apply for a passport as soon as she can

Congrats on the Oath.  The I/O who recommended my wife for approval told my wife to bring two passport style photos to her Oath Ceremony. He said that there may have been a problem with her photos that were taken at her biometrics appointment. She is going to bring them just in case.

Hi! Congrats on your wife's approval! Just curious, what does her online status show now? I had my interview on the 8th and the IO said I passed, but my status online says "Quality Review based on Approval Recommendation".

Thanks!

Thank you. Her interview was on the 9th and the online status hasn’t changed yet.

I found this info online about Naturalization ceremonies at Pearl Street----you can always call the court clerk and ask questions, that's what I did before my ceremony in Brooklyn, they will be able to give you some general info about the ceremony and what's allowed/not allowed.

 

The Naturalization Ceremony

On each Friday, a District Judge presides over the Naturalization Ceremony that is held in the Ceremonial Courtroom located at the Pearl Street Courthouse.* Beginning at 10:00 a.m. on the day of the ceremony, applicants are processed by USCIS Officers and Deputy Clerks of the Court. Each petitioner should bring the U.S. issued “green card,” U.S. issued visas and all other travel documents. A petitioner who is not fluent in English, but who is age 55 or older and has a U.S. permanent residency of more than 20 years, may be accompanied by someone who can interpret in the petitioner’s native language.

The ceremony begins approximately at 11:30 a.m. and others are invited into the courtroom to witness the petitioners swear the Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America. Pursuant to Local Civil Rule 1.8, no one is permitted to bring a camera, portable telephone or recording device into the courthouse without the written permission of a judge of this Court.

Everyone is expected to comply with federal court rules and any other rules of the court. Please remain quiet during the proceedings and stand when the judge enters or leaves the courtroom. If you must leave while court is in session, please exit quietly.

*Upon entering the courthouse, everyone is required to pass through the security screening. Please allow extra time for the screening process.
