Hi guys,

 

I recently filed form N-400 for naturalization.

 

Having moved around a bit over the past few years, I want to know how I can apply for having the ceremonial oath at a specific location. I can’t find it anywhere online, and would love some useful input.

 

Thanks so much in advance!

You can’t find it online because it’s not your choice. USCIS assigns the plce based on your current residency.

Thank you for your response. A few times a year, a small group of people gets naturalized in Yosemite National Park, CA. Who selects them? How do they get to get their ceremony there? I know for a fact that the people that receive their ceremony there, don’t actually live in YNP :)

I would LOVE to get my naturalization ceremony at Yosemite National Park. It's one of my favorite places in this world. Not sure if we have the choice to do that tho.

Right, me too. I’ve lived there for 4 years and I would like to find out how to do this.

Hoping to have my oath held in a city where oaths are more often, I asked the IO during the naturalization interview last year if I could have it somewhere else.  Quick answer - - - No. But hey, no harm in asking your IO about it.

People are assigned randomly. I wanted mine at the USS Constitution, or Faneuil Hall where my husband got his. Ended up at a high school auditorium in Malden (Greater Boston, not where I live) 🤷‍♀️
