You won't even get into your oath ceremony without your greencard if that tells you anything along with your oath letter. Somebody here posted they took away their greencard at the interview, but never came back to say how they made out. At your interview, should walk out with the same exact stuff you walked in with.

Oh, so right! When my wife went to get her driver's license renewed, the clerk kept her green card. We got out the door and relaized they never gave the green card back, so we went back in and retrieved it.

Also, during the fingerprint interview at the local office, the officer forgot to give my wife her passport back. She forgot about it and it wasn't until she was scheduled for the naturalization interview that we realized the fingerprint office kept it. What's telling (and sad, really) about the USCIS efficiency (or lack thereof), they didn't bother calling us even though the office chief had my wife's passport sitting in her office for 3 weeks.

Most of the parts of USCIS that I have had the misfortune to experience, are at best barely competent, IMHO. The big prize at the end of the process makes most people forget about the rudeness, lack of customer service, incompetence, etc. However, since I work at a different Federal agency, I know how a properly run office should function. USCIS should be ashamed of itself.
