US SB3568

Applicants whose naturalization applications have been approved under section 335 of the Immigration and Nationality Act would have a guaranteed right to attend their ceremony, take the oath of allegiance, and receive a certificate of naturalization

Approved applicants could only be barred from ceremonies if the Secretary of Homeland Security determines, based on individualized facts, that they are statutorily ineligible or obtained approval through fraud—with required written notice at least 10 days before the ceremony and supervisory review

Prohibits excluding applicants from ceremonies based on nationality, country of origin, categorical reviews, or generalized policies not related to individual eligibility

Allows postponement of the oath for up to 30 days only in extraordinary circumstances involving specific national security threats, with written notice required 72 hours before the ceremony

Establishes judicial review for denials or postponements, awards attorneys' fees to prevailing applicants, and requires rescheduling within 10 days of a court order; prohibits secret policies and bars waiver of these rights by regulation or executive directive
