Do I give up passport at interview?

[Geordie 9]

When I submitted my N400 application I submitted some flight itinerary copies of emails showing I had left the USA twice within the last 5 years.

I did not submit a scan of my passport showing the stamps.

 

The application must have been successful as they have scheduled my interview next month and not asked for any additional evidence.

 

Do I give up my UK passport if I am successful at the Citizenship interview?  I would like to use my passport a month later.  I can probably expedite an American passport.

But if I do not have to, that would be great.

 

The letter does say ""You MUST BRING the following with you to the interview:

 

"Your passport and / or any other documents you used in connection with any entries into the United States"

 

I used my greencard both times to enter back into the USA.  So I'm really not sure.

You used your Passport along with the GC (not just the GC) to enter US. So they want to see it just in case.

 

They don’t take your passort not they care whether you give up your passport or not.

 

You will become the citizen only after the oath ceremony which may happen on the interview day after approval or few weeks to months later depending on the location.

 

yoy can keep using your current passport for travel till get your naturalization certificate at the oath ceremony. After that, you need to use US Pssport to enter US.

No, the US does not care if you have another passport or 20 other passports (unless obtaining by illegal means, of course). 

 

After you successfully take the Oath to be a US citizen, you will need to use the US passport to leave and enter the US. To the US government, you will be considered a US citizen and have all the rights, privileges ad responsibilities thereto appertaining to a US citizen. The fact that you're still a UK citizen is immaterial to the US.

You need to bring your UK passport and green card to the interview.  After you pass the interview, they will schedule a day for the Oath ceremony. On rare occasions, if they happen to do an Oath ceremony the same day, they may ask to you join. Normally, you will come home and they will send you a letter with a date/time for the Oath. At the Oath, they will take away your green card and give you the Naturalization certificate. You then need to use the Nauralization certificate to apply for the US passport.

You can put off your naturalisation ceremony until after your planned trip and travel as a permanent resident (UK passort+greencard). That way you won't have to rush to get your US passport. Ask at your interview how often they do ceremonies. Some are same day. Others are once a month or even bi-monthly. depending on the answer and if you think you need to delay, notes could be put in your file that you are not available for a ceremony until [date].
