Hello all,

In the event of a medical procedure which necessitates long-term home recovery (as in the case of bone marrow transplant), can USCIS come and interview the citizenship candidate in his or her home? Also, can the candidate take the oath ceremony at home? If not - how long can the ceremony be postponed for? Can it be postponed for a year (which is the recovery period specifically for the transplant procedure)?

Thank you all in advance!

I beleive so on both of your questions. Call USCIS (mis) information line for the exact details. As far as the oath, the officers who interview for naturalization empowered to do so outside of standard ceremony.

I wouldn't trust the mis(information) line too much...every time I called they ALWAYS gave me wrong info!

I would make an Infopass appointment to your local USCIS office instead so that you could actually speak to an IO.

Good luck!

Yes, most local district offices will perform the interview at an applicant's home. As far as the swearing in ceremony, that requires a Judge, and may not be so easily accommodated.
