Thanks for information! Actually, I was interested in getting a passport by the fastest possible way, since I was planning for a brief travel outside the US before the new Fall Semester starts. However, it looks like I do not have enough time. Unfortunately, the St. Louis DO is very slow in...

How and where did you apply for your passport? Did you apply for passport in Chicago? At the interview, the IO advised me to apply for expedited passport at Chicago office - she said it would take just a few days. I live in Missouri, but could easily drive to Chicago if needed. But I did not...

I hope so!!! Thank you very much!

Oath letter received! We have received oath letters today! Mail has come very fast - just in two days! Our oath is scheduled for August 03, 2012 in the St. Louis Court House. Difficult to believe, but our naturalization journey is coming to its final stage! Good luck to everyone who is...

Madgu, thanks for an update!

Status update My son and I received text messages and e-mails on status update - on July 5 oath letters were sent out. Hopefully, we will receive these letters next week and find out date, time, and place of the oath ceremony.

I have been waiting for 3 weeks after "in line for oath scheduling", and no news so far. Of course, this depends on the DO, how much population is in there, and how often they hold oaths. In my DO, as far as I know, this happens once a month, and there are backlogs, the line moves very slowly...

Excellent!

Yes, please, share your experience with SSA in this thread!

Thank you very much, Jackolantern and rjackal, - this is something new I have learned today. But why the 30-day period after oath may be needed?

Thanks a lot for your wishes! The same to you and your wife!

Thanks for good advises. Indeed, I never carry Social Security card with me, and it says, "Valid for employment only with INS authorization", since I came here from the very beginning to work. By the way, I heard that many people change the SSN card as soon as get their Naturalization...

Great! This means we can take GCs with us and not be afraid of losing them (of course, I will do my best not to lose any documents)! Thanks - your comment gives me peace of mind!

Thanks, everyone! So we will think "to take or not to take". The 18-year-old teenage future citizen is becoming far more cautious than his mom! Before he was 18, he traveled with me and did not care about taking GCs with us - now he strictly follows the law! No, we are not going close to any border.

Thanks you very much! So my son is right... I heard of this, but did not think this was so serious! I do not want us to get into trouble at "the very last minute" before getting our naturalization...

Traveling in the US with GCs? My son and I decided to take a few days off around 4th of July and travel a little bit ( within the US). My son insists that we must take our GCs with us on travel. I prefer to leave them at home - not to lose by a chance. My son argues that if we are pulled over...

CONGRATULATIONS, Madgu!!!

Aakash, do not worry - the oath letter will definitely come! I am in the similar situation. My interview was 26 days ago, I got approval, on June 12 was placed "in line for oath", but there is no oath letter... Though I worry a bit, but I know that in my DO oaths are held only once a month, and...

Congrtatulations!!!
