    Took oath on 5/17, applied for passport on 5/18 (expedite) and received it on 6/9 and then my naturalization certificate a couple days ago. USPS folded the certificate when they tried to jam it into my mailbox but luckily it's not damaged. GLAD to be done with USCIS forever. Time to return my Indian passport and then get OCI.

    Similar to other recent comments - took an oath on Friday, May 17th. Volunteers were waiting outside the courtroom to help submit forms for voter registration so I did that. Then the next day applied for a passport and said goodbye to the naturalization certificate. Fingers crossed that it doesn't get lost along the way!

    Same. Know any guides that exist for the procedure to follow for returning Indian passport + applying for OCI card?
  25. samdog
    Thanks! ! will pencil a SSA office visit, and I currently have GE and plan to update TTP with changes. I was hoping to see guides for what to do for countries that do not allow dual citizenships - I know I'd have to return my passport to my country of birth, and then apply for some visa with them that allows me to re-enter without needing tourist visas every time.

    Things to do after oath ceremony - obvious ones are to register to vote + apply for passport. In addition to those, is there a guide on what else to do? 1. Does the Social Security office need to know that we've naturalized? 2. Based on whether dual citizenship is allowed - steps to follow to return current passport etc.? 3. Anything else?

    I got one interview letter for N-400 and another for I-751 that specifically said to bring spouse to the USCIS office. They didn't ask me to bring EAD/AP but I had all my USCIS-related stuff in a folder and showed it to the officer. Just got the oath ceremony document on the accoutn and that one does say to bring EAD/AP along with other stuff. Oath ceremony scheduled 5/17 in St. Louis!

    Maybe we will take oath together in STL Seems like we had the exact same experience today at the interview!

    Just finished the I-751 + N-400 combo interview at the St. Louis, MO office. Went in at 9:10 and came out at 9:31. US citizen spouse was present for the first 5 ish minutes and then it was just me later. Officer just verified all the dates and asked 6 questions and then verified my driver's license + passport + (expired) green card + SSN card. They took away my OPT EAD (was on F-1 visa before I met my spouse) and the EAD/AP combo card, lol. They did not take any copies from me that I had printed, and didn't look at any other original documentation. At the end they gave me a sheet of paper that said they have recommended my approval and that they will send oath ceremony appointment via USPS. Case status changed for I-751 as approved and for N-400 as oath ceremony will be mailed.

    Thanks, @minivatreni and @OldUser!

    You both missed my point entirely....... Of course I am taking originals of everything (passports, GC, EAD, birth certificates etc.) - my intention of making that comment was to ask whether I should take two COPIES of each of the originals in case they ask for separate ones for I-751 and N-400.
