Petitions for naturalization will be considered and acted upon, and appropriate
ceremonies conducted in connection therewith, on Friday of the first week of any
regular session of court at which naturalization hearings are set, beginning at 11:00
A.M., unless otherwise ordered by the court. The court may at other times, in its
discretion, for good cause shown and upon reasonable prior notice by the applicant
to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, consider and act upon
petitions for naturalization by members of the armed services, seamen on merchant
vessels registered under the laws of the United States, and members of the immediate
families and dependents of such personnel, and other exceptional cases.
