The paper after interview that says you've been approved

[batmankiller 0]

So the sheet that my USCIS interviewer gave me that says I've been approved etc after the itnerview, how important is that sheet assuming I lost it? Would they need that sheet at all for future references? (for when I get my oath appointment ..).

lol are you thinking about losing it?

Another VJer lost hers but remembered the date of her interview and was able to continue without it.

Why all these hypothetical questions? For God's sake... make a copy of the document... put the document in a safe place when you expect to lose it (like a safe deposit box) and go on with your life. Don't forget the date of your oath appointment !!!

I lost my N- 645, My girl friend missplaced it and we were not able to locate the damn paper. however when I recieved my oath letter, all what it said to bring to the oath ceremony is the oath letter, green card or any other immigration documents, did not mention the N-645, Iam assuming the N-645 is just needed to enquire on your case status if you did not receive you oath letter within time frame of 4 to 6 weeks. Iam not worried about it at this point since they did not ask to bring it to the oath ceremony.

Only important thing about that interview paper is that it has the name of your IO on it that you can't read anyway. Also says to contact that IO if you have any questions that is next to impossible to do. So all in all that paper is worthless. It may serve a purpose if you have never received your oath letter as proof that you did indeed have your interview and did indeed pass it.

Wife's went in the immigration file when we got home and stayed there. If you want to lose something important, lose your green card, cannot get your certificate without it.

Batmankiller-If you lost the interview results letter...(though why anyone would lose that is beyond me..lol..(unless they were robbed on the way out of their interview...that might be an excuse....lol...)

Maybe you can request for another one? Try asking for an infopass apointment and see if you can help you further there.....

But as others have said...If you have the oath letter (which 99% of all approved citizenship cases get in the mail a few days/weeks later for an oath ceremony date and time)...then the interview results letter is not important...

Unless you want a copy of it for your memories and/or immigration paperwork collection...

If you don't get your oath letter (like in my situation for a private ceremony where I got a phone call instead...the 1% exception to the rule), then yes, an interview letter is important to have/keep until the oath ceremony, as that is the only paperwork proof that I had for being eligible for the oath ceremony.

Otherwise, if you have the oath ceremony letter, before you oath, then that is all you need for the oath ceremony.

Oh and don't forget your green card either...don't lose that! As you need it for the oath ceremony....

Good luck....
