To anyone has taken the test, roughly how many "important dates" do you recall showing up? I'm doing great with names and dates, but I struggle to remember WHY those dates are important and mixing them up.

Hi! Does anyone have an idea of how long it takes to get the passport after the oath ceremony? I'm planning to travel to the US for Christmas and I'm starting to get a little anxious about it. Thanks!
