Does the NYC FO do same-day oath in 2025?

My interview is at 10 AM and I see mixed responses on Reddit throughout the years

Depends on your case and how full the ceremony already is for that day.

 

Seeing reports that some people had same day oath indicates there is a possibility of that. Considering you have a morning interview, this possibility is theoretically higher. But nobody can say for sure ahead of time. You'll learn it on the day. So I'd be ready for anything. Good luck!

Thanks I will have the passport stuff ready and bring with me that day. I don’t know how fast it is to get a expedited passport these days so I don’t want to waste any days at all

If you have urgent need for US passport due to upcoming travel, you'd be better off going to passport agency. If you have proof of international travel within a week or less, you may get passport very fast.

 

Obviously, you can only get passport after oath. And the timing on that isn't in your control. But hopefully it will be same day as the interview.

 

Keep us posted!

Thanks will do, I can totally book tickets for that, and I hope it’s easier to secure an appointment at the passport agency than N400 interview in NYC these days…

Depending what boxes were checked in N-400 that may not be required. Nowadays the status can be updated automatically with SSA if applicant wishes.

yeah, no timeline for the OP but his past posts says petition was july 2024 so the april 2024 application paper should have been used / hoping so as SS sometimes is not so friendly

Unsure of the current situation, but you can research here.  Back when my wife naturalized, the Detroit Passport agency allowed walk-ins for newly naturalized citizens, but I think Covid changed all of that.

 

Good Luck!
