Reentry Permit or Refugee Travel Document for Oath Ceremony.

I just received my oath ceremony letter after a year of waiting. I have my Green Card of course, but I'm not sure if I have the RP/RTD or any other of my immigration documents.

I haven't left the USA for vacation since, roughly, 4-5 years ago. I haven't left the States either since my interview—Should I still worry about the first two documents? As for the other immigration documents, what would I need for that? I came here from the Philippines when I was six, would I need all those papers to present?

Thank you in advance. :]

Just bring your GC to the oath ceremony, and you'll be fine.

They will be collecting the green cards at before the start of the oath ceremony, but the "other immigration documents" phrase mentioned in the oath letter is not mandatory and does not really matter. If you do bring things like old REPs/EADs/whatever, the officer doing the check-in at the oath ceremony will take them, but if you don't bring them, nobody will ask you for them specifically.
Not having brought these items to the oath will not prevent you from taking the oath.

Hi Lift,
congrats to your oath letter first of all.
just would like to confirm that it takes you one year to receive the oath letter?
i though the most is 3 months, right?

I think the OP is referring to a year for the whole process, not a year between the interview and oath letter.

However, 3 months is not the most for the time between interview and oath letter. By law, USCIS has 120 days after the oath to decide the case, and sometimes they fail to do that, thereby making the applicant file 1447(b) to get the court to force USCIS to complete the case. People who don't file 1447(b) can end up waiting for years.
