You need to surrender it but wait till you receive the US passport(Expedited, you should receive it in 1-2 weeks). Then surrender it at the same time you apply for the PIO or the OCI. Take copies of the Indian passport of course.
passport application at oath in minneapolis
I have a trip coming up so I need to apply for the passport ASAP. Does anyone know if they accept passport application at oath ceremony in Minneapolis? It seems that certain places do that so they do not need to send in naturalization certificate mailed then. It certainly makes things easier.

Go to County's office
I left for Singapore just 7 days after Oath Ceremony.
I went to county office(in Rochester) after oath ceremony done,
filled the application form and attached copied ticket,
then sent it out via overnight mail to Seattle.
Next day, I checked on internet and knew the mail has been received,
called Passport Center to mention that I will travel overseas next week...
2 days later, I got my US passport!
Or you can make an appointment in Chicago,
you will get US passport in just few hours.

My interview experience.
I attended my Interview for citizenship at the Minneapolis D.O on April 10 2007, the whole process took around 15 minutes. I was sworn in and the officer asked me for the following documents passport, green card and driver’s license. He quizzed me with the civic questions and asked me to write a sentence in English and then I signed on the photos and the N-400 form. He gave me a document saying that I have passed the test and that he is recommending my application for approval. The officer was very polite and he made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole process.

I had my Oath on April 11 just like Ahm, It was a big ceremony close to 1300 ppl. Waiting in the line was longer than the time the ceremony took. I got there excatly at 9 am so it took me around an hour to make it to my seat but all went well . my process took a year cause of name check.
Anyways good luck to anyone that's in process....

Had oath ceremony with 1236 lucky new American s at the convention center on April 11. All went well except they forgot to include my name change form so I have naturalization cert with new last name but cannot get passport until I get that certificate.

Waiting for oath...
Applied for n-400 in December and got finger printed in Jan.
Interview date was on March 8th in Bloomington, MN and after interview, USCIS officer congratulated me for successfully completing and asked me to wait for letter for oath ceremony. I have not received N-445 & oath ceremony letter.
Is there a number to call USCIS?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Want to post your interview experience for the benefit of others who are yet to be interviewed in Bloomington?
thanks.
thanks.
Interview was very cool
The immigration officer was very friendly. The introduction and swearing took 2 min, verified name, DOB, A#, Out of country dates, Last residences and all the entries of N-400 are verified. Then I was asked to write a simple sentence in English. Then had to take civic test and cleared first 6. Then, the officer gave my result that I passed and gave me an approval letter recommending me. Asked me to wait for oath ceremony letter. It was very nice experience. I am waiting for oath letter since March 08, 2007. Thanks.

I got my oath letter in less than a week after my interview date (March 21) and attended the oath ceremony on April 11th.
I guess, I got lucky.....
Although little too early to panic, incase if you really want to know; go to USCIS page and click on INFOPASS, where you can make an appointment to talk to immigration officer at Bloomington.

If they have given you a letter saying you passed the interview, I can't understand what now they mean by "verification". Seems very strange to me.
