I found this today on uscis field office site.Denver does do same day oath ceremonies.

Same Day Swearing-in Ceremonies - Denver, Colorado

INS in Denver (DEN) is currently conducting naturalization interviews and oath-taking ceremonies on the same day. Because the federal courts have not retained exclusive jurisdiction in DEN, the following procedure is possible.

Every Thursday and Friday, between 7:30 AM. and 11:30 AM. 5 or 6 INS officers each conduct 16 naturalization interviews. If the naturalization applicant passes his or her interview/examination, he or she is ushered into a secondary waiting area where an INS clerk prepares the naturalization certificate, has the applicant sign the photos and certificate, and verify the information on the certificate. The clerk then issues a letter advising the applicant to return to the INS office for oath-taking ceremony at 3:00 P.M. that same day. Upon returning to the office, the applicant is sworn-in and receives the finished naturalization certificate.

If the applicant fails the written and/or history and government test, a new interview is-scheduled for a later date. Only when an applicant requests a name change is he or she scheduled for a judicial hearing. DEN conducts a judicial hearing once every other month. Usually there are only 30 to 35 individuals at a judicial ceremony.

DEN closes their office to the public at 2:30 P.M. to prepare for the ceremony which takes place in the INS public waiting room. To maintain the formality and integrity of the swearing-in ceremony, the Denver office has cleaned up the public waiting room by painting the walls, purchasing new chairs, and replacing old, stained carpet with tiles. New bulletin boards were put to replace the INS posters that were taped to the walls and new flags where hung. The district is also working with one of the local school districts to have students paint a mural on the walls.

For the Denver district officer, there are many benefits to this program.

 

 

 

 

 

  • INS officers like the program because they have the afternoons to conduct other business.
  • The public and AILA like it because there is only one wait period, the one for the interview.
  • While the judges were reluctant to allow administrative hearings, they are now in fill support of the program. INS in Denver first convinced the judges to try a pilot program to see how the program worked. It worked so well that the judges are now reluctant to do any ceremonies. In fact, the judges have proposed that, even with name changes, the INS conduct the ceremony and the judges will sign the name change certificates.
  • For special ceremonies, such as ceremonies for children, the press also seems pleased with the program.
  • For the month of April, INS Denver is planning a special project to clean up their naturalization backlog of 3,400 cases. They plan on conducting naturalization interviews Mondays through Fridays. They will utilize all available officers to interview in the mornings and conduct the ceremony in the afternoon.
