Oath Taking Ceremony and Emergency Travel

[Sheryn11 0]

Hello Everyone,

 

God willing I have my oath taking scheduled after a week. My father is very ill and I am not sure if I should postpone my scheduled ceremony and travel overseas or wait till the ceremony.

I was wondering if I could apply for the passport and get it the same day?

Also, I did a name change. Part of the passport application process is to verify SSN. Even if I have not changed my info yet on the SSN can my passport application still be processed?

Thank you so much for your time!

 

Sincerely,

Sheryn

You can get PP same day or next day at PP Agency. Just bring your Cert+name changed cert+ ID+ flight+SSN ticket to the location near you.

Heads up with the name change, possibly depending on jurisdiction: my wife got her naturalization certificate at the oath ceremony, but she had to wait a little while (1 week? 2 weeks? don't really remember) to get her certified name-change document in the mail. Maybe some places hand it out day-of, but others do not.

I would re-schedule the oath ceremony and travel on your current passport.

I agree with JFH.  It would be better to reschedule to Oath ceremony ( since name change issue, may delay the process) and travel using current passport and GC.
