Has anyone had experience leaving the country between the citizenship interview and the oath ceremony? I took the citizenship exam on May 15th and am still waiting for the oath ceremony. I need to fly home for two weeks to visit my dad; he was diagnosed with cancer, and I want to see him.

I'm really sorry about your dad.

Didn't have such experience, but it's possible to travel before oath. You'd have to disclose all the new travel before oath.

The difficult points are:

1) What if oath is scheduled while you're away?

2) What if you get stuck in country you're going to?

 

There was a thread about person who missed a number of oath ceremonies and got stuck in infinite loop hoping to naturalize.

 

Also make sure your trip won't break your continuous residence and physical presence.

 

But of course, family comes first and immigration second.

 

Good luck!
