Actually nothing other than that the oath letter and Green Card. They will keep both of them and give you a nice american flag, constitution and the declaration of independence book... No need to bring anything other than documents of changed status/situaiton if you have them. For me, I got a ticket ( damn, Bellevue Police!!) and bought the payment receipt. They needed it.

Fingerprint done by walking in
Received the fingerprint notice on Aug 5 with a scheduled date of Aug 11. Reading about the guards declining admission to the building in this forum, I was a bit unsure of success when I decided to give it a try on the 6th.
I went towards end of their workday (they stop fingerprinting at 3pm). It looked like a relatively lazy afternoon. The guard did not ask why I was there. The gentleman at the triage desk looked at the appointment letter and said, go and ask at window 11 whether they can do it today.
I went in and it took me about 10 minutes to finish fingerprinting.
BTW, I did not initially find a window 11 although I could see windows 1 through 10 easily. It is the first window on your left as you walk into the waiting area and there was no line at all.

Others have reported the same in past. If you have exhausted Infopass, USCIS Ombudsman and congressman route, a 1447(b) lawsuit would be next option.
This is very surprising.. Including myself, my wife-who applied few weeks after me and some other acquaintances,,all received their oath letter as soon as their interview was over... Was there any reason you were told that you cant get the oath letter immediately? As suggested by BobbySmith,, Infopass it... You should be getting the oath letter or a copy of it unless the case wasnt approved for some other reason..
Got my IL earlier this week...

Hello
You mentioned that after the ceremony you can talk to the passport folks in the lobby. Can you actually submit your passport application at that time? Or do you have to go elsewhere?
Thanks
Shannon
Received interview letter yesterday
I failed my FP first time because I had dry and cracked fingers at the time. I was worried about my second time FP since I was injured a month ago and it left scar on my fingers and there's no finger print on some small area. But to my surprise, I passed the FP this time and received ID yesterday. Interview date is scheduled on Oct 26th.

Friend,
Sorry about your cracked fingers. Try a lotion with dry skin therapy, it should do you good...
In Seattle they have Passport agents at oath ceremony? I dont think that they had any passport agents when I was doing mine because the Oath conducting Director asked as to go to a local post office or Seattle Downtown regional passport office to get the passport completed.
To answer your question,, the oath will take about 1.30 hours.. If you are lucky you can make it to the passport center in Downtown or you can go to a local post office beofore 4.00 pm. Its going to be tight. If you have an urgent need, better to go to the 2nd Ave center and get the passport in a day. That is if you do have the ticket booked and all that.
Thanks so much. I printed out the nearest passport offices to the USCIS office. There is one 3 miles away that is open until 445 on Monday. I am hoping to make it to that one
how to get certified court disposition?
I received a letter asking me to bring additional document to the interview:
1. driver's license
2. You indicated in your application that you have been arrested. ... bring originals or certified copies of all arrest records and court dispositions showing how each incident was resolved.
In fact, I was never arrested. I reported in my N-400 form that I was cited for speeding by Arlington police 2 years ago. I went to court and paid reduced fine of $60. I did not keep the payment receipt but I do have the ticket. Does anyone know how to get the certified court disposition? Will it work if I find the payment transaction from my credit card history?
