Hi! I am GR holder. I recently received Oath Ceremony invite. However, I do international travel within 20 day from the ceremony. In this case - should I go for the oath ceremony or change the date of the ceremony? I booked my travel way in advance and want to see my family. Please share your thoughts.

You should probably rearrange your travel.

 

Or try to get your passport faster after naturalization:

Rescheduling oath always involves some risk.

20 days is short time between oath and travel.  Your only hope is to get an emergency passport appointment after the ceremony.  That has worked for some.  I also think delaying the ceremony is risky.
