Usa Citizenship interview
Did anyone have USA citizenship interview recently in Seattle? If so will the oath taking happen on the same day? (I've a planned international travel after the n400 interview, if they ask me to take oath on same day, it will block my travel).
Not recent (seven years ago in DC) but when my wife did her citizenship interview the oath was weeks later at a larger ceremony with others.
Same for my spouse - :the interview was a few months before the naturalization ceremony.
Mine was same day, four years ago
It is same day. You can choose not to do it and schedule later. Or you can have it and choose not to submit your green card. All these options are up to you
Sometimes it’s same day, sometimes not depending on time of day and how full it was. You mentioned travel though, if you’re leaving the USA you’ll need a US passport to re-enter, which wouldn’t be available same day (realistically). If you’re internationally traveling, defer the ceremony. There’s no negative consequence for that.
How long since you submitted N400 till interview invite?
Is N400 the petition to apply for naturalization or are there previous steps?
I think that's the only step as soon as you 4 years and 9 months of the green card
