Hi - My N400 interview went well and my oath ceremony is scheduled for next month. The officer during my N-400 interview told me I need to bring my current (foreign) passport to the Oath Ceremony.

 

Did anyone else also experience & hear this from their officer during their interview? I want to confirm that my current (foreign) passport will not be taken from me at the Oath Ceremony. Thank you!

Your Green Card will be taken away.....but NOT your passport.  I'm not sure why they would want to see it.  Make sure you take a black ink pen and the questionnaire as required by the instructions on the letter.  Congratulations!!

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Foreign passport is a property of a foreign government and won't be taken away. Maybe it's for confirming any foreign trips between the interview and oath.

I sure did not bring mine! (nor did I say anybody else bring his/hers).
