text: citizenship? i got my green card in 1986 and in 2001 i applied for citizen ship and after passing the tests i was called to swere in two times but i was abroad and both times i miss the appointment.  after that i diid nothing about this again.  can i do something now in order to proceed again? check with the immigration service.  (or have a friend to it for you.) that was a long time ago and paperwork does get lost, but if they have records hopefully something could be done.  it sounds like you were approved and you only didn't take the oath.
