I'm getting my papers for the oath ceremony ready and I just answered the questions on the back (all "No's"). Now I'm not 100% sure if I can sign the letter at home or if I have to sign it in front of an official.

Experiences, please? :unsure:

Also, I have my oath letter, greencard, Social Security card, driver's license and approval letter from the interview. Do I need anything else (I never had a Reentry Permit or anything like that)? Of course clothes, family, camera, passport application and SSN form are ready. :D Another sleepless night.

Don't have the experience yet, wish time fly myself. Anyways, better be safe, don't sign it yet, wait till you get there and in case they want you to sign it in front of them, just remember to bring a pen with you, that's all. So your oath is tomorrow? Congratulations! You're done with USCIS, well... tomorrow! :thumbs:

Not only when you signed it, but where you signed it, Bloomington was the actual place my wife signed it even though they call it the St. Paul office. Feel it's best to sign it in front of the officer and they use your green card as personal identification, then take it away from you.

After reading about some odd 87,000 people that were rejected last year for USC, kissed my wife for being a good girl and patted her on the head.

Since we had over a four hour drive, and I was driving, wife asked me all 96 questions twice correcting me if I was wrong, teaching is a very good way of learning, she was able to fire back the answers quicker than her IO could ask the questions, but I think both of us forgot it the following day.

Questions? What questions? :unsure:

And yes, I decided, I'll sign the letter at the oath ceremony.

I didn't have the opportunity - while we were waiting outside one of the officers came out and said "Please make sure the back of your letter is COMPLETELY filled out AND SIGNED before you enter the building"

That was my experience also. All that is required is that it is filled in (or, realistically, at least dated) the day of your oath.

Jan 10, 2008 - fingerprints appointment (letter lost due to mailing address receipted incorrectly)

Feb 7, 2008 - fingerprints done (took about 10 min - as a walk-in)

Sept 8, 2008 - Interview date (letter received Jul 18) - rescheduled at my request

Jan 6, 2009 - Interview date

O.k., I didn't sign the letter until I got to court. When I arrived there, an IO stood at the door to the courtroom and checked your oath letter and greencard. He said "That's not complete yet." I told him that I wasn't sure if it had to be signed in front of an officer and that's why I had waited. He said I should go to my seat and sign it there. That's what I did.

Also, the officer pointed out several times, that all the questions ask, if anything has changed since your interview. If nothing has changed, all your answers should be "No". If you travelled outside the States, all you had to put down was the total amount of days you were gone and the countries you visited. If you visited several countries in Europe, you shouldn't list each single country, but just write "Europe". If you travelled to several countries in South America, you shouldn't list each single country, but just write "South America". And so forth...
