If you are more than 30 minutes late for your ceremony, you may not be able to participate. In this case, you will have to reapply for naturalization and pay the application fee again.
Here are some tips to help you arrive on time for your naturalization oath ceremony:
- Plan your route in advance and allow plenty of time for travel.
- Allow extra time for parking or security checkpoints.
- Bring a friend or family member with you for support.
- If you are running late, call the USCIS office immediately.
