diplomatic or consular officer to take the oath of allegiance as 

prescribed by section 337 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

    (2) The applicant shall submit documentary evidence to establish her 

eligibility to take the oath of allegiance. If the diplomatic or

Nationality Act, the oath shall not be administered.

    (c) Certification of repatriation. Upon request and payment of the
