I have my interview on Tuesday in San Francisco, a field office that does same day oath ceremonies. I'm crossing all fingers, toes, limbs, etc and knocking on wood that all is going to go fine, and I'm well prepared. I even went to the USCIS building on Friday and talked to the security people to ask for advice about how early to show up, lol! (Helps that it's 2 blocks from my gym).

If I do get approved during the interview, how does the same day oath ceremony work? Is it automatic for anyone approved that day? Do you have to request it? I'm curious to hear about people who have experienced it.

I haven't experienced it, but officer will let you know if you will be naturalizing on the same day. It depends on location and whether they have any additional "seats" for people of they already reached the limit. I think I might have read San Francisco doesn't do same day oath ceremonies lately, but I may be wrong.

 

My understanding is, USCIS will do the best effort to naturalize you on the day of interview if N-400 is approved.

Based on the Timelines they were still doing it as of March of this year, but there's only a handful of members data for 2024 so I can't tell for after that.

Here's one report from 2023 I found:

 

I think there were few other people including @Olga&Jared who didn't have same day ceremony. I wonder if it's due to I-751.
