Depends on DO. For NYC DO (Federal Plaza), the oath letters are handed on the day of the interview.

Any idea how long it takes to get a court oath through NYC DO? I'm changing my last name, which has to be done at a court-administered oath ceremony.

Sorry, no idea. My understanding is that NYC DO conducts regular oath ceremony every friday -- but have no clue about court oath.

Ah ok. Perhaps it won't take too long, especially if the regular oaths are conducted on a weekly basis.

From my understanding if you are changing your last name by marriage, you don't need a court ceremony. I think only if you are changing it otherwise. Am i mistaken guys?

Yes, you're correct. However, I am changing my last name for reasons other than marriage. I definitely need a court ceremony.
