Hi, did they do anything with the I-551 stamp? Like cancel it with a stamp "canceled without prejudice"? I'd be travelling after my oath and can't wait for the passport to arrive in the 6-12 weeks they advertise. Thanks

Your I-551 stamp will lose its validity at the date of the oath, just like a greencard. During oath you become a USC and an LPR document is no longer valid to enter the US. You’ll need to wait for the US passport. If you cannot postpone travel, you may want to consider rescheduling the oath for after travel.

Cannot travel without US passport after taking oath. That’s why they offer expedited passport service for urgent travel needs

I guess that’s their option then. Not sure why some folks make travel plans before they got all their documents lined up, but who am I to say what their reasons are. It’s easier to book a flight than it is to get a passport, I wouldn’t be booking any flights until I have mine in my possession, and I would personally be prioritizing my schedule around USCIS as best as possible always, because they’re such a pain in the ### to deal with.
