Congratulations Butan!!! When did you receive your oath letter? I though the oath is at least 1.5 months after the interview. Do you know how many oath ceremony are there per month at Detroit? Thanks

My interview date is 5/9/06 and my 3-week trip to China is on 6/8....I am afraid the oath will be schedule during my absence. Even if I take the oath before 6/8, I will not be able to obtain passport in time for the travel. Anyone has any suggestion what to do if you are in my situation (besides cancelling the trip)? Thanks
 
Based on the timing of others (including my own), you're very likely going to have to either ask them to postpone your oath ceremony or postpone the trip.

If there's no urgent reason for you to leave during this time, then I would postpone the trip -- sure there's going to be a cost, but if it were me I wouldn't take the chance of excessive delays. I don't trust the USCIS to re-schedule things like this without new problems coming up.

The only other option I can suggest is to tell them your situation at the interview and ask whether they could fit you in to an oath ceremony ASAP after it (assuming the interview went OK). Detroit typically holds two oath ceremonies each week so maybe they can fit you in sooner if you request it.

The interview letter is sent from the NSC -- looks just like the receipt and fingerprint notices.

Even the oath letter is from them, though I think at that point the actual scheduling is done by Detroit and NSC is just doing the adminstrative part of printing / mailing the letters.
 
got mine from Detroit

I got my NOA, Finger Print Notice from Nebraska Service Center.
But Interview and the Oath Letter were sent directly from Detroit District Office.

I took my passport, social security card, GC, interview invitation letter and the appointment letter of the new job that I had joined 2 weeks prior to the interview. I did not take any other documents that are mentioned in some other threads.

She struck out the section where I had mentioned my traffic citations. Apparently traffic citations are not to be mentioned in the area.
