Lost Oath Ceremony letter! What to do?

[WBH]

Filing N-445 is a 5 minute job. I did it while I waited, as well as many others on that day. Practice now http://www.ilw.com/forms/N445.pdf , but don't sign at home before you actually present to the ceremony.

But how will the securoty guard let you in if you don't have an oath letter?
By making an inforpass appointment? or just explain to security guard you
lost your letter?

That's a last problem. It has a list of attendees. Also often it is a public ceremony where people can walk in a court. In my case USCIS just left a voice mail when to go.

You do not need a letter, if you know when the appointment is. Only your green card is required.

That's incorrect. In order to formally close the case, USCIS must place the signed oath letter in the applicant's A-file. At my oath ceremony, the IO made it very clear that if they don't get the signed OL, they will not issue the certificate of naturalization. You may be allowed to enter the ceremony, but you'll have to fill out and sign a new OL.

You are right. I am sorry for being unclear. What I meant was that one can file the "ol" on the premises, it is not required to bring it in. However, if unable to unswer positive a deportation can be seak. That why I posted it, so people can see what to expect.
