i know it sounds ridiculous..

I missed my Oath of ceremony.. I sent back N-445 form with a letter that explains why I missed the ceremony..

I send it to New York Field office.. is there anybody experienced?

What will be happen next? What should I do? Is there anyway that they can reschedule me ASAP?

How long would it take them to reschedule me? Is there anything that they can do a private oath of ceremony?

How can I track my certificate?
 
They will definitely reschedule you, but I highly doubt it'll be ASAP. Your application will be put back in the oath queue and you'll be scheduled when a date becomes available. It can take a few days, weeks, or months, depending on how long the oath queue is. There are no private ceremonies.

With regards to tracking your certificate, what do you mean by that? The certificate is issued at the oath ceremony, so there is no way to find its whereabouts.

On the other hand (and I am not judging you in any way, shape, or form), how do you miss one of the most important events of your life?

Ok,

I was interviewed on June 15th, and got a date for oath of ceremony on July 14th.. I thought it was exactly one month, just a day less right.. So I spoke with my sister at the beginning of the week, and she told me that was my ceremony on July 14, and I told her "No" it was july 15th... So I went to court on July 15th and court clerk was told me that I can't attend the ceremony because it was on July 14th.. My papers weren't there.. So I thought my certificate was already ready but she didn't told me where did they send or anything..

guess what, June 15th on the right upper side, and july 14th it's in the middle.. Plus I have to be blind to see June-july-14-15.. It seems all the same for a moment, you know what I mean..

Then I called USCIS, and they told me the same thing, sent N-445 and a letter back to my local field office..

And she gave me the address of NY field office.. So I sent my copies to NY local field office, and then I realized I was interviewed at Garden City..

Now I've to call USCIS again to ask should I sent my forms back to Garden City...

I really Don't know what's going to happen now.. I just want to get it done with it but seems like it will take a while, unfortunately..
 
If an oath is missed, the certificate is normally placed in your A-file, which remains active until your case is closed. Your oath will definitely be rescheduled. Unfortunately, there's no way to tell when. The best thing to do right now is either schedule an InfoPass or call the customer service number and ask to speak with a tier 2 representative.
 
So, I was just wondering, what happen with you can't attend a Oath? and don't want to reschedule it, Can somebody represents you? (Lawyer)

This notice provides instructions on what you are required to do next. If you did not receive the oath ceremony notice, please call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283 or schedule an InfoPass appointment with your local field office.

Naturalization Applicants: you will receive your certificate at your oath ceremony. You can expect to be scheduled for an oath ceremony within 45 days of receiving your recommended approval. Many offices schedule approved applicants for the oath ceremony on the same day as the day of the interview. Please check the local office profile page on our website to determine if the office where you will be interviewed schedules same day oath ceremonies.

My case status updated.. I scheduled an infopass on july 27 (by the way this was the earliest day for NY field office)..

USCIS reps on the phone, told me the same thing that my local field office was the one in Manhattan.. i'm still confused though, if it is so, why did they send me over the garden city..

I wish they had already rescheduled me..

There is this 45 days limit also bothering me now too.. I already pass 1 month from my interview and now do I have only 15 days left? But so far what I know is, case is still open, they are telling 45-90-120 days to close..

I will definitely update latest info on the case..
