have ppl waited for more than 3 weeks?

i got my passport on 10/21/22 (on my bday) but i never got my certificate back and it's now been 3 weeks, I am unsure what to do

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Question, did you receive ur citizenship certificate with passport together or?

I believe u call USCIS and speak to Tier 2 to see what is going on, also it may show ur oath ceremony on ur login USCIS as well.

For the citizenship I believe it was only $750 and you just have to show proof of 3 years of marriage …if you have been married for 3 years or had ur green card for 5 years you can apply for citizenship.

They are very easy nothing to worry about , here are the questions they may ask, I feel if I can pass anyone can

Mine said 13 months , but my whole n400 process was literally 9 months. it all depends how busy your office is as I see people still waiting since the time I filed.

Congrats on ur passport, can I ask how many weeks did it take for u to get it ? And did they provide your citizenship certificate back?

Congrats on your oath ceremony, also make sure ur stuff is updated on the excel sheet . as for your question sadly they won’t be able to they will be in a separate room and they will meet u outside when you are done.

It is a long wait , from beginning to the end of my journey it took 7 1/2 years from K1 to Citizenship. the wait is long , but if the love is there your patients will conquer .

No prob, wish someone told me lol 😆, cause when I did mine I looked like a hot mess cuz my alarm in my hotel didn’t go off so I had no time to do my hair or anything . I assumed it wouldn’t have mattered since they take a picture of you at the interview and I thought that’s what they would be using but nope lol 😆,

Mine took exactly 9 months , but that could be cause they used my old biometrics. Also when u take that pic I’m the biometrics make sure to look good if you like cause that’s the pic they are gonna use on your certificate.

Congrats, I wish you luck on your interview

Hey December Filers! today I had my oath ceremony and I am happy I no longer have to do interviews and pay anymore to USCIS ❤️ . it was a simple ceremony , my ceremony was set for 10:30 so I got to the location by 10am, they let us in at 10:30, got in a line of 2 where the security tells us to get our letter ready and to provide our 10 year green cards. Sadly, I lost my green card back in July so if anyone has the same issue just make sure you bring in a police report and a form of ID such as a drivers license . Once got to that part they told us to go in a line where we provide our paper to them as well and they said once the ceremony is done I come back to the same line and get my actual certificate. The ceremony took literally an hr to start and 15 mins to finish. After that I went back to my line , got my certificate and me and my husband went back home. I would say this is the end of my journey , but I feel once I get my passport and update my SSN than I feel all the waiting is done lol. all in all I am happy the part till the oath ceremony is done and I wish nothing but the best for everyone still waiting and I will update later on with the passport process.

I got the form from them and got my 2 photos , so hopefully I can just do a walk in for my passport at USPS cuz the one in my town nothing is available till October 12 appointment wise , so trying to see if I can just hand it to usps and have it done cuz I am unsure how long a picture is good for

I did mine with a YouTube video I saw and some if you msg them they will do it live with you as well, the one I used is Us Citizenship Test.org which is the name of the YouTuber and even has videos of what questions they will ask for civics test.

Thank you so much for the quick reply ❤️

My ceremony is tomorrow and I was wondering can we apply for passports over there so we didn’t have to mail out the certificate?

Same thing happened to my husband. I recommend getting a new birth certificate for him . Best to be safe than sorry especially since this interview is super important.

The form is only if you mail in ur N400, no need to worry about filling out the form if your doing the N400 online.

@PalRish stated that it could take 2.5 hrs.

Thank you for your reply I will be taking my pic for passport on Monday and fill out the form so if they do it at the ceremony I will be ready

Hello Everyone , I am having my Oath Ceremony on September 20th (5 More Days) and I am planning to go back to visit my family in a couple of months with my husband in Canada to celebrate that amazing day for me. 💕 So my question is that I hear many different things from different people and I wish to see which one would be accurate. I was told to fill out the Passport form, Print it out and bring it to the Oath Ceremony with a Passport size photo than the people at the ceremony they can expedite it and have the passport done without me mailing out my certificate which is my biggest fear to do cause I don’t trust mailing important documents like a citizenship certificate. and another person tells me to just go to USPS right after the ceremony and they do it all for you and you can do a walk in. just trying to do which way is correct to make sure I get my passport in a timely matter and have time to drive back home and not be super late in the night.

You do not need a attorney to do this unless you have in your paperwork that will be red flags. me and my husband did everything all by ourselves to the very end and doing the final stage in 10 more days . 🥰
