They take your green card at the oath ceremony. You can travel with your original country passport and your green card until you take the oath. If they schedule your oath while you are away, you can call and change your appointment. My wife told the interviewer that we would be on a trip and please schedule the oath for when we are back. She passed the interview and we are waiting now to see when she will be invited to take the oath.

March online app.  Scheduled for interview June 11.  Processing by Portland Oregon field office (7 hours away), but interview scheduled at Medford library location (3 1/2 hrs away).   Sworn in. Confirm basic info like name/address/birthdate etc.  Answer civics questions first.  I believe six.  I got them correct and he stopped asking questions.  Read one sentence.  Write one sentence. More N400 app questions/confirms and signing (mainly security questions like have you ever committed crimes etc).  Sign that I understand what is required at oath ceremony (what you are swearing to uphold).  Told I passed and a letter will be issued scheduling the oath ceremony.  He did advise that after oath my green card is surrendered and a certificate issued for citizenship.  Then I am free to register to vote, apply for US passport. etc.  Very cordial.  Not intimidating at all.  20-30 minutes.   I had all original docs with me that were submitted online.  He did not ask to see any original evidence.  Good luck !

OK, I have another questions. Case changed to "Card Produced" and i-751 case closed. The letter congratulating my wife and daughter also says not to travel without your new card. We have a trip to the Philippines scheduled for July 3rd. Do we need an appointment for an I-551 stamp in their passports even though they still have their conditional green card and the extension letter? I hope that we receive their new green cards, but I requested an appointment online for the stamp just in case. I don't want them refused entry to the USA when we return! Does anyone know anything about this? Didn't expect this.

As long as she hasn't taken the oath she can travel with her 2 year Green Card and unexpired extension letter.  She will not be refused entry.  Besides, she might not even get the 10 year card.

Well, the next day my wife's N-400 case was updated "approved" and she is placed in line for the oath ceremony appointment. Then, in the afternoon, I received two separate USPS notifications that we will be receiving an item from Kentucky on Monday. I believe that is where the green cards come from? I'm not expecting anything else. Looks like priority mail or something. Wow, they move fast when they want to.

Hopefully, that is the 10 year card.....and all will be golden...

"We have taken and action..." e-mail today. The Oath Ceremony has been scheduled. It is scheduled for when we are out of the country in July visiting my wife's family in the Philippines. As instructed in the notice, we will send back the notice with a letter asking for the oath to be rescheduled to a date after we have returned from our trip. I also noticed that the notice states that she will need to bring travel documents with her to the Oath Ceremony since we are traveling after she had the interview. Do you think I can print the notice document from the website and send it with the letter, or should I wait until the official notice arrives in the mail and send back the original notice with the letter?

You should be good with the printout of the document from the website.
