Oath Ceremony Was Scheduled

What it means

Your naturalization (N-400) was approved and USCIS scheduled the ceremony where you take the Oath of Allegiance. You become a U.S. citizen at the ceremony, not before.

What usually happens next

You attend the ceremony, hand in your green card and receive your Certificate of Naturalization.

What to do now

• Bring the ceremony notice (Form N-445) and answer its questions on the day.
• Bring your green card; you will give it back.
• After the ceremony, check every detail on the certificate before you leave.

Questions

Can I apply for a U.S. passport before the ceremony?

No. You need the Certificate of Naturalization, which you receive at the ceremony.
