I applied for US Citizenship through 319(B) - we are living overseas, husband is US Citizen with US firm etc.
I received my notice for interview/oath ceremony last week and I am scheduled to appear in Newark, NJ.
As we live overseas I am flying back specifically for the interview and I am trying to figure out quickly after the interview/oath I can book my return ticket. I understand that once I have taken the oath that I am an American citizen and require a US passport to leave/enter the country.
I can't quite get a clear answer as to how quickly I can get my US passport. I will have proof of travel - is it true that with this documentation I can make an appointment at a US Passport agency office (I know that one of the 10 of these offices are in NY) and have my passport issued the same day?
Any help/experience with a similar situation would be appreciated!

This is just an update for information as I was posted the original question!
I applied for US citizenship with a 319(B) - my interview/oath ceremony (same day in Newark) was in October and I wanted to return home as soon as possible so was curious about how quickly I could get my US passport.
I had my US passport the day after my interview/oath ceremony and was set to fly home by following these steps:
1. Based on the day of my interview/oath ceremony (ie. Oct 23) I wanted to get my passport on Oct 24th. I called the US passport agency 14 days prior to the 24th to schedule an appt. I took the first appt of the day which was 7:30am so that I wouldn't get caught in any backlog.
2. I passed my test/interview had my oath ceremony and received my certificate on the 23rd. Showed up at the US passport agency on the 24th at 7:30am. I was the first person through - filled out the application form, showed my proff of travel within the 14 day rqmt, paid $65 or $75, was given a receipt and was told to come back at 10am.
3. I arrived a little earlier and at 9:45am I had my passport. It was a very quick and painless process!!
