Hi everyone, my husband applied under the 3 year rule on 10/10 and has his biometrics appointment next week. I’m seeing that some people are getting quick interview appointments after biometrics (which is great!) and I’m a little concerned about an international trip we have booked in late January. If he gets an interview in December or January and has a same day oath ceremony, would he be required to apply for a U.S. passport to travel/re-enter after that trip? We didn’t think there was much chance of it happening that quickly.

Yes, US citizens must exit and reenter the US on US passport.

The good news is, if you have urgent travel and proof of it (less than 14 days until departure) you can get passport same day at passport agency.

If it's a vacation / not so important trip, another option is to move the trip.

 

Rescheduling interview is risky, here is recent example:

Ahhh, ok! That is so good to know. 
 

It’s a vacation and fortunately everything we booked is refundable or at least changeable. Fingers crossed the interview ends up being in February or later.
