Private Naturalization Ceremony question
Hi
I have just passed my naturalization interview and am now waiting for a date and time for the oath ceremony.
However, I know a number of federal judges who have said they will carry out the oath in a private ceremony in their court room. Can anyone share how I go about arranging this from a USCIS perspective? The Judge can administer the oath but obviously, I assume, won't collect my green card or give me my certificate etc.
Does anyone have any experience of this? Any help will be gratefully appreciated!
Thanks

Re: Private Naturalization Ceremony question
I've not heard of anyone in these forums doing this. All have seemed to go to the official swearing in ceremony which is actually a nice ceremony with pomp and circumstances the occasion warrants IMHO.
Any reason why you don't want to be with other people when you take the oath? Since you are on a friendly basis with these judges, why not ask them what they do in such an instance.
