Received my Naturalization certification in the mail, today. Not bent at all. It looks like they were very careful with the certificate, which is good, because I wanted to frame it or a copy. I think I’ll just make a color copy and frame it, and put the original in my safe. Good luck to everyone on the rest of your journeys. Much love!

I received by Passport a couple of weeks ago, but still haven't received my NC back. This thread has helped me to relax a little, just knowing that many people wait up to 2 months.

Still haven’t received my naturalization certificate back. Will keep you updated.

Hi I would like to know what bowser you used to check the status of passport application?

I just used safari (on my phone). It also appears to work in Chrome.

My passport was just approved, and they are now working on making it. Just waiting for it in the mail, now.

Welp...still nothing. Maybe the wait really is 8-11 weeks for standard. My post office guy said usually people are approved in a few weeks under standard, but I haven't seen or heard from DoS regarding the application being processed. Perhaps I'll just stop checking for a while. I check everyday, just in case. lol. And then I check here to see if anyone else updated the community on their case. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I guess most people really thought this was a bad idea.

Anyone know if location 51 (Miami) is about the same timeframe as the others? I submitted the app March 23. They received on April 4. Been 3 weeks so I supposed there’s no rush. But I’ve noticed others have been getting approved to n about 3 weeks. Just checking. Kind of wish there was a real tracker like for the N400, based on location.

Just a quick question. Is the locator number just the first two digits of that 9-digit number they give you when you check the status of the passport on the website? 

I've requested that fields be added to the N-400 timeline to track the processing of passports. See thread here: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/782144-passport-fieldtracker-combine-with-n-400-or-other-relevant-trackers/

If you feel like it, please post under it whether you agree or not, and perhaps the mods will see. Maybe if enough agree, then they will add it, or possibly create a new tracker.

It is my opinion that additional fields should be added into the N-400 tracker (and other relevant visa trackers) for the passport application, with the ability to sort by "file date" and "expedited/not expedited" under the "Timeline" chart where "US Citizenship (N-400) Immigration Timelines" can be sorted (see here: https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/citlist.php?cfl=&op5=5,10,11). In my opinion, this may allow easy tracking. Though LPRs become citizens upon oath, their journey is usually not over until they obtain their passport and SSA is updated. SSA probably wouldn't need a tracker, because it can usually be updated same day. But the passport takes a month or two in some cases and many people try to keep track so they know when to expect it. There appears to be a demand for tracking this information, based on the thread, "2020/ 21- US Passport & Card Application-Tracker", viewable here: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/729036-2020-21-us-passport-card-application-tracker/ .

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Best Regards,

bsd058.

Wow, there are always a few stragglers in every month. Sorry to hear that it's taking so long to get interviews, guys. I'm rooting for you. Still checking in now and then to see how you all are doing. Here's to hoping for same day oaths for those of you that can get it! Much love!

Never mind. My status just updated. Okay I guess I have a few weeks to wait. 8-11 weeks it says but the usps guy told me usually only takes about 2-4 weeks.

Appears to be back up and running. Still have the question, "Anyone on here have to wait longer than 2 weeks before their status showed?"

Online Passport Status Tracker appears to not be working at the moment. If anyone else is or is not experiencing this issue, please let me know. I submitted my app through USPS and used standard processing (because I'm not planning on travelling anywhere outside of the country, soon). I submitted my app on March 23rd. Still no status on the website. They say to wait about 2 weeks before it shows. So I won't sweat it until Thursday. Anyone on here have to wait longer than 2 weeks before their status showed?

Usually, pertaining to taxes, if you pay taxes in one country, you don't have to pay taxes in the other. Most countries have tax treaties. My wife lived with me in Canada prior to us moving to the USA. She had to file in the USA, but the USA didn't make her pay any taxes.

Submitted my passport app on 03/23/2022 at USPS with photo taken at place of service. Waiting now (not in website, yet)...

Passed the interview! Waiting for my same day oath right now in the foyer. Can’t wait! 😀

Well tomorrow is the big day, assuming nothing out of the ordinary happens! Interview time! Hoping for a same day oath. One of the people on this site has their oath tomorrow at the same field office. Who knows? Maybe they'll let me.

Orlando field office.

I'm waiting for my N400 interview. My wife passed last year November. Do I still file my tax jointly or as single or qualifying widower? Thank you

I'm sorry to hear that. :(

This is probably a question for a tax professional, like an accountant or someone at a tax filing service, like H&R Block or something.

Thank you for your reply. Obviously it does not say about Russia, but I just feel bad after my attorney does not even want to talk to me..... Who knows, may be people at the interview will be the same...

No. They'll be professional. You'll be fine. It's possible your message just got lost. I wouldn't assume anything, especially the worst. Just call him until he answers, if you really want to use a lawyer. I doubt he is purposely ignoring you.

Most people don't need a lawyer, though. At least, not if you understand English well enough.

Is there anyone from the San Francisco field office and still waiting for the interview date?

This list of timelines may help: https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/citlist.php?cfl=0&op1=3&op2=&op3=&op4=1&op5=5,10,11&op6=All&op7=San Francisco CA

This is why it's important for everyone on this site to keep their timelines updated. It helps all the rest of us. Good luck to you!

Hello.did they sent you any notice to change the interview date as a proof.?

Yeah, I checked my account to be sure and they sent a letter that "De-scheduled" my interview on Friday, and immediately posted a new letter to "Schedule" a new appointment for the date the DHS rep said over the phone.
