oath ceremony

[Memymine 2]

Hi!

I passed my citizenship test a few weeks ago and today I got a phone from an immigration officer. I thought I was supposed to get a letter with the ceremony date. Did anybody else get a phone call for the ceremony? Is this how it usually work?

Also, I was told to just bring my green card(I have it) and any travel doc issued by US( I don't have any). Is the the only paperwork that I have to bting with me, form your experience?

The ceremony will be held at the immgigratio office where I took the test. I was expecting it to be at a federal court. Does this seem weird toy you?

Thanks

I was a actually told at my interview that they'd call me, too. The officer checked my phone number four times constantly mentioning this. I totally forgot to ask her about the actual invitation and only remembered about it at home. I guess we just have to wait and see, hopefully something will come in the mail before the ceremony. Otherwise I will be calling the courthouse with this question, it is too long drive there to go and be turned away at the door.

Did your status change online? When is your ceremony? If there is reasonable amount of time left I wouldn't worry too much just yet and wait or the invitation

Not sending out that N-445 anymore? Wife was unique, emailed hers to her. With St. Paul's could be at the Vikings stadium, some university, some courthouse, some park, but for both of my girls, was in the field office.

You already read your oath aloud at your interview, ironically not a part of your English test and signed it, oath ceremony is just a lip service. You walk in with your green card, walk out with your certificate, just make sure its correct or will cost you 400 bucks and another six month wait. Could be handed out by a clerk, a federal judge, or worse a congressman, still the same certificate, the latter is there for his glory, not yours.

I heard of it a couple of times- likely they got a cancelation for tomorrow's ceremony and it was too late to send out letters, so they called the next person in line seeing if they wanted the spot.

My oath ceremony was in the waitingroom of the local USCIS office, that is normal.

Do I have to pay anything this time? They didn't say anything on the phone.

Everything was fine. They only needed to look at my greencard. It is done. Now I need to apply for American pass+change my SS status.

Thanks to all the people on this forum who answered all my questions.

Did they give you back your green card? Will I ever need it for anything?

No they took my greencard. I still have a photocopy but you shouldn't need it for anything, as you are a citizen now. Good idea to keep something with your old Alien number on it, you might need that if you ever want to petition for your family

You shouldn't have to pay anything more.
