I passed my N400 interview (based on 3-year rule) on January 28th in Portland, Oregon. I mentioned it to the officer that I will be moving out of state in the middle of February due to work and they told me to change my address once that happens. Today I received my oath ceremony for March 20th in Astoria, OR (not even Portland) and I am moving on February 15th to Pennsylvania. 

 

I will be changing my address on that day. Do I need to call the number listed on the oath ceremony to reschedule the ceremony now or do I wait until I moved and changed my address? Can/should I fly back to do the oath ceremony in Oregon or do you have to be naturalized based on your current address?

We see so many who correctly change address and it is not recognized (somehow doesn't register with proper desk or officer or computer)

i would fly back and take the oath as scheduled 

Immigration is slow to reschedule it -especially from one office to another 

there was a past post as the OP was scheduled of for oath in a neighboring state

 

you should probably call the local office and inquire /make sure the person u talk to is not just a receptionist but immigration officer

however, USCIS says this 

5. Residence in Multiple States

If an alien claims residence in more than one state, the residence for purposes of naturalization will be determined by the location from which the alien’s annual federal income tax returns have been and are being filed.[10]

and they  frown on this being cancelled more than once

 Personally, I would fly back and take the oath....but I suppose you could re-schedule and try to get it scheduled in PA.....it would be a big hassle and might take months to finish , imo.

I would also fly back
