Citizenship Interview (couple of questions)

1. My letter states i need proof of selective service registration. I never registered as i was over the age of 26 when entering the states on my k1. Do i need something? I assume not.

 

2. Some places offer the oath ceremony at the time of the interview. How do i find out if the place i am attending offers this service?

 

3. I uploaded my application online. The n400 states i should retain and bring all submitted documents to the interview with me. My interview letter suggests a small number of documents to bring. Do i really need to print and find all those submitted documents for my interview?

 

4. My interview letter states i need to bring my passport and or any other documents for entries i to the usa. Would i need my old flight tickets, k1 visa information, my old esta and such? Or would my passport just be suffice?

 

5.My parents want to attend the oath ceremony with me as my wife does too, is this possible?

It's just a boilerplate letter USCIS sends out. You don't need anything regarding the selective service.

Just your passport. They want to make sure you still meet the following requirements: https://www.uscis.gov/us-citizenship/citizenship-through-naturalization/continuous-residence-and-physical-presence-requirements-naturalization

So they don't really care about selective service registration at all? Cause I was registered when I turned 18, but the only proof I have would be a recent print out from the selective service website. That's good enough?

That was in response to @DaveNot since he never was required to register because of his age. In your case take the recent print out from the website to the interview.

Normally guests are welcomed---depending on where your ceremony is held, however, there may be a limit as to how many you can invite due to space constraints.  Some oath ceremonies allow photos, some do not (if a judicial ceremony, they may not). Best to call and ask details when you find out where the ceremony is taking place.

It's seldom, but it does happen.  Normally the IO lets the applicant know during the interview (and after approval) if there is a same-day oath ceremony where they have room to fit you in.  In the cases I've seen reported here, the applicant returns back to the office after a couple hours or so---it's not done on-the-spot immediately.
