Apologies if this has been asked and answered, but my searches returned no results...

 

...is moving immediately after the Oath Ceremony ok?

 

From what I understand, you get sworn in, get a welcome packet, and then (in your own time) you can apply for a passport.

 

So, I'm just curious - as I've been wanting to move states for a long time... is it ok to plan an interstate move the week after my Oath Ceremony?

Absolutely.  After the Oath ceremony, you're an American with all the rights Americans have. USCIS will be in your rear-view mirror once you get that Naturalization Certification.

 

Congratulations!  Taking the oath will be one of the most beautiful and emotional moments you'll experience.

After the oath ceremony, you are free from USCIS.  No need to report address changes or worry about them.. You are free...LOL

After the oath, you're done!!! No more saving bank statements, no more saving utility bills, no more endless printing! The stressful waiting is over! You can move wherever you want, and you can vote!  Congratulations!!!
