TWO weeks. wow.

In early 2023, it took 6 weeks to get wife's passport, then 7 more weeks later for wife to get her Naturalization certificate back....

Congrats!  Your timeline is very similar to mine.  I was impressed with the speed of the expedited passport process.  Took about 2 weeks to get my naturalization certificate back after receiving my passport.

Mind, Aug 6th I sent, and 16th I received a new passport. It had two weekends in between, too. I think expedited service from USPS is pretty fast enough. They scheduled delivery for Sunday, the 17th, but changed it to Saturday, the 16th, in the morning. This is USPS's fastest service.

If anybody is interested in a recent example of how MyProgress is (still) useless, mine current shows as 1 week, but I don’t even have an interview scheduled yet 😂

It has now abandoned the estimated timeline and replaced it with ‘Your case is taking longer than we previously estimated, but it is within normal processing times.’

 

I honestly wish they wouldn’t bother with the timeline, it doesn’t do anybody any good.

Same here. We seem to have fallen through the cracks for whatever reason. I'll be posting here when my wife does get scheduled.
