On the oath appointment letter it says I have to bring:

1. Greencard
2. All Reentry permits
3. Any other immigration documents you may have in your possesion

Regarding 2 and 3, what exactly does it mean. Expired Advance Paroles, old EAD cards, etc?
 
I have my oath tomorrow too but I am taking only my GC. I don't think I have any other documents related to immigration.

Once I received my certificate tomorrow I am goin to apply my PP immediately at post office.
 
Me and my wife just got back from our oath at NYC.

We live in a northern suburb in Westchester County but for some reason got scheduled at 8:30 at NYC, a 1.5 hour commute by train and taxi to Federal Plaza.

So I had set my alarm to 5am, but for some reason turned it off when it buzzed instead of hitting snooze. So my wife and woke up at 7am in a panic. By the time we and our 4 yr old got ready and left the house it was 7:30am.

We finally got to the ceremony at 9:01am. It was well underway. One of the guards said we cannot go in, but his supervisor said 'let them in'.

Anyways we sat through what was left of the ceremony. After it ended we went to a window and showed our oath appointment letters. A nice lady read out the oath to me and my wife and had us repeat it. They took our greencards and gave us our naturalization certificates.

Overall a very pleasant and efficient experience compared to the horrific labor cert/I-140/I-485 experiences in Chicago.

Is that nice lady a judge? I thought a judge's presence is mandatory.
 
I believe she was either a judge or some other authorized UCIS officer.
Anyway we were there for the group Oath recital with the main judge, so I guess we did it twice.
 
Judge

A judge is not required to swear you in as a US citizen. Certain officials of the USCIS are authorized to do so. In Dallas, for example, where we have daily oath ceremonies, an officer of the rank of supervisor, swears new citizens in.
