Traveling abroad after interview and before oath

I went on vacation for a week and came back to find my oath letter with a question on its back about travel outside the us since the interview. I marked it YES but Im not sure what the implications are.

Is traveling between the interview and oath data frowned upon?

I went to Puerto Rico and my current passport was never scanned or stamped.

any ideas what this is all about?

thanks

Only if the travel is long enough to put your continuous residency into question.

You should not mark "yes" on your oath questionnaire because, as others have stated, Puerto Rico is a US territory and thus, you would not have traveled outside the US.
 
i went also on vocation for two weeks after my interwiev and i am having my oath end of this month
should i take my passport with me and disclose on the form.
second question,I already got my oath letter and moving before the oath.is this an issue since i need to change the address by post office.
Thanks ahead

Yes take your passport and details of your trip.

As for the address I'd fill an AR-11 online to be safe and bring a copy with you but after the oath you should be off the USCIS mailing list anyway :)

thank you so much for your quick response.
 
If you didn't know that Puerto Rico is part of United states then definitely you should not be given Citizenship. Being a highly skilled employee you are expected to know such things. Just KIDDING!
 
I just had my oath ceremony and this is my take.
First, they check your answers on the oath letter but in my opinion, they are definately not equipped to handle anything that is out of the ordinary, if you answer "Yes". They will ask you about it, but it appears as thats just it.

I kid you not, the guy in front of me had gotten married and been arrested since his interview and he had no documentation (I was like, you have got to be kidding!), and guess what, he was allowed to take the oath.
He had gotten in an accident was his explanation, but said he didnt know why he was arrested and because it was busy, its like they just didnt want to deal with it or could not to be honest (certificates already printed and all).
