What to Expect during an Oath Ceremony

October 18, 2011

If the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services  (USCIS) grants you naturalization, you will become a citizen as soon as you take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States in a formal naturalization ceremony. In some places, you can choose to take the Oath the same day as your interview. If that option is not available, or if you prefer a ceremony at a later date, USCIS will notify you of the ceremony date with a "Notice of Naturalization Oath Ceremony" (Form N-445).

When you arrive at your oath ceremony, you:

• Must return your Permanent Resident Card to USCIS
• Must bring with you the questions on Form N-445, which is sent with your oath ceremony date letter. These must be filled out before arriving at your oath ceremony. Do not sign the form until instructed by an officer the day of your ceremony.

Your appointment letter may list additional documents that you will need to bring with you. 

Once you have taken the oath, congratulations! You will receive your Certificate of Naturalization!
