I sure hope there’s a status change this week because if not, I’m probably going to involve my members of Congress on Monday.

I am going to give you a few timelines with locator 34 in Charleston, SC and hopefully that will give you some idea of how long it is taking for approval at that location these days. I will provide the day of the application at USPS office and the day in which approval was indicated (if any). I will also type whether it was expedited or routine service. All the approved applicants received their passports within 3 business days post approval date.

 

Applicant 1)   Applicant applied on 4/2/21 at USPS --- Routine service --> approved 12 weeks later (June 25).

Applicant 2)  Applicant applied on 4/2/21 at USPS -- Routine Service --> approved 11 weeks later (June 18).
Applicant 3)  Applicant applied on 6/29/21 at USPS -- Routine Service --> application is still in process after 11 weeks (Should wait for 1-2 weeks).

I hope that answers your questions in regards to Charleston, SC's processing center.

I'm the 8/21 - Expedited, check cashed in 4 days time, still processing.  I wonder if all the storms hitting SC is the issue.  Hope none of you get bad enough luck to get 34!

How long we need to wait for the naturalization certificate to come back. I received my passport book and passport card on 09/02 and 09/04 but still haven't received the NC. 

 

I saw posts earlier some have got earlier and some have received a bit late. Just want the document to come back with not being lost.

It is not Charleston, if that's what you are asking!

[aa1979 100]

I am going to update the previous reply so that it is representing some new changes in order to keep the picture all together for Charleston, SC locator 34 processing center. For the other applicants at other processing centers: please note that Charleston's processing center is one of the slowest processing centers, especially with the routine applications, so please be careful as you compare it to your own processing center at some other location or as you draw any conclusions.
 

Here are a few timelines with locator 34 in Charleston, SC and hopefully that will give you some idea of how long it is taking for approval at that location these days. I am providing the day of the application at USPS/library/county office and the day in which approval was indicated (if any). I am also including whether the application was expedited or routine service. All the approved applicants received their passports within 3 business days post approval date.

ROUTINE APPLICANTS:

Applicant 1)   Applicant applied on 4/2/21 at USPS --- Routine service --> approved 12 weeks later (June 25).

Applicant 2)  Applicant applied on 4/2/21 at USPS -- Routine Service --> approved 11 weeks later (June 18).
Applicant 3)  Applicant applied on 6/21/21 at a County/Library office -- Routine Service --> Approved  10 weeks and 5 days later, or approximately 11 weeks later on (September 4th).
Applicant 4)  Applicant applied on 6/29/21 at USPS -- Routine Service --> Approved 11 weeks + 2 days later on (September 16th). 
Applicant 5)  Applicant applied on 7/6/21 at USPS -- Routine Service -->  Application is still in process after 10 weeks+ 2 days (Should wait for 1 week).

EXPEDITED APPLICANTS:
Applicant 6)  Applicant applied on 6/10/21 at USPS -- Expedited Service --> Approved 4 weeks + 1 day later (July 9).

Applicant 7)  Applicant applied on 8/17/21 at USPS -- Expedited Service --> Application is still in process after 4 weeks + 2 days. (Application is expected to be approved, I am guessing, within 1 week, possibly today, based on the previous expedited approved service).

Applicant 8 ) Applicant applied on 8/21/21 at USPS -- Expedited service --> Application is still in process after 3 weeks + 5 days. (I am guessing approval will happen within the next 10 days).
Applicant 9) Applicant applied on 8/23/21 at USPS -- Expedited service --> Application is still in process after 3 weeks + 3 day. (I am guessing that this applicant should wait to the end of next week before any expectations of approval and hopefully they will be approved within that time frame).



I hope that answers your questions in regards to Charleston, SC's processing center.

Just an FYI, the return address has nothing to do with the locator number (or the processing center). Also, where it gets shipped to at first has nothing to do with the location of processing.
