I’m sorry for The late response! I’ve been outta here! Anyways, I didn’t do anything as in calling for expedition. Has yours arrived yet?!
It's fine. No reason to check Visajourney anymore, right?
Yes, it arrived yesterday! Took them 8.5 weeks to process my passport. Still waiting for my Naturalization Certificate back.

So, it was processing for 8 weeks, and will take another 6-8 weeks to actually get it? 😕
No. One day after the approval they already shipped it and sent me a tracking number. I am supposed to receive it this week.
What they mean by "processing in 6-8 weeks" is that this is an estimate of the time they take to do the whole process from receiving the application to shipping the passport.
-
Received an e-mail yesterday that my passport was approved. It was "In Process" for 8,5 weeks. In the e-mail they say that "You requested routine service when you applied, which we are currently processing in 6-8 weeks". I wish this information was posted in the website for everyone.

I applied a month before you on June 29th. I have not got mine yet.
"As of September 17, we have completed processing applications received in March and are 99 percent through the applications received in April, May, and June". On September 10 they were on 97%. Hopefully they will reach 100% this week and you will have your passport.

I will just put this here because the last time it was posted was on page 45 and it is difficult to find. I also brought back the instructions, in case anyone doesn't know how to use it. I know some of you prefer to use the Google spreadsheet but some of us don't. Visajourney also recommends against it because through Google spreadsheet others can see your Google login.

Yes!!
You're not using the FIFO principle.
With the FIFO principle I was supposed to have received my passport already, because the number of issued passports up to now is already greater than the number of awaiting + received on the week on July 23-29....
It would be useful to know the percentage of passports that are expedited or don't follow the FIFO rule.

Can anyone help me understand why it is taking so long for them to process my passport and help me calculate when can I expect it just by using the numbers?
I sent the application on July 20, My status changed to "In Process" on July 24. It is being processed in Chicago.
A person from another forum sent their application to the Chicago Passport Center on July 15 and on August 27 they received their passport (6 weeks).
My status is still "In Process".
On the week of July 23-29 there were 1,150,000 passports awaiting issuance.
From Jul 23 to Sep 10 1,002,000 new applications were received.
Adding these two numbers = 2,152,000
A total of 1,316,000 passports were issued between July 23 and September 10.
The Department of State says that applications will be processed in the order they were received.
I am calculating that there are 2,152,000 - 1,316,000 = 836,000 applications in front of mine.
From September 4 to 10 there were 110,000 applications received and 129,000 passports issued, which gives us a difference of only 19,000 passports.
if it goes on this rate, it will take 44 more weeks (836/19) for them to process my passport 😨 !!!????
Is there a more optimistic way to do this math?
Also, I have a tracking number now, what is it useful for?

I am still waiting for my passport and considering the time it took to process yours, mine was supposed to be done already. I mailed it on July 20 and they started processing it on July 24. Yesterday I called to make sure it is in Chicago. Did you ask them to expedite your passport or did something for it to go faster? It was through the Chicago Passport Center, right?

Use the google I added columns for approved and ship dates.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_F-5jsaOlgxFWpsVnvsw0WI6hwszquaRQE0oQflpwsA/edit#gid=0
Can we keep the tracker in this thread too? I don't trust using Google Spreadsheet. Visajourney also recommends against it: "VJ strongly discourages the use of google docs for monthly filer threads; there are privacy concerns as they are not administered by VJ, so others can potentially see your Google login and from that other info about you and your loved ones, and there is also the potential loss of all the data if the original creator of a doc removes it from their drive. Please use the threads themselves or the VJ wiki, for your data gathering needs." Source:

Hi, I am new in this forum. I got my naturalization certification last week Wednesday, and I applied for my passport last week Friday. I still don't see its in the tracking system, as per the disclaimer it should take 7-10days to show up.
Anyone who also submitted for a new passport in Chicago office?
1. how long did it take to show up in the system.
2. Is there any avg time for the complete processing
I live in Illinois and I believe my passport is being processed in Chicago too. Still waiting though. Sent on July 20.

I live In Chicago so my oath swearing will in the Northern Illinois Court district which is located at downtown Chicago. If you live in southern Illinois or close to St. Louis , then your oath swearing will be in the southern Illinois court district ( they haven’t set any date for start civic events like naturalizations)
Did you apply for a passport? I am curious to see how long it took for you to receive it from the Chicago Passport Agency. I applied for mine on 07/20.

Yay guys! I got my citizenship today! 🎉
Here are the details: We arrived at the St. Louis Office 20 minutes before the scheduled time. Went through security and up to the second floor where the waiting room is. Entering the room, there were some people sitting and a security guard in the back, who stands up when we enter. I went to talk to him and he asked for my appointment letter. Then he told me to draw a line on top of the City/state that I wrote and told me to write St. Louis, MO ( I didn't feel comfortable doing it, because changing a document like that feels wrong, and there was nothing in the letter stating that I had to write the exact city where I was taking the ceremony, only saying that I had to sign the day of the ceremony. I signed at home, and I live in Illinois, but whatever, the guard told me to do that, so I did). He then also told me and my husband to sit 6 ft apart because "social distancing" (even after I told him we live together... but that didn't make him change his instructions... whatever again... haha). At the time of the appointment, an USCIS Officer appeared behind the counter and started calling one person at a time. On my turn he asked for my ID and then I gave him my Green Card and MY Employment Authorization cards, and showed my Drivers License and my Military Dependent ID. Then he asked me where I lived, and proceeded to the questions in the appointment letter. He gave me a number and told me to wait. After this officer was done checking in everyone, then the security guard called us by number to form a "social distancing" line. We then were guided to another room and each directed to stand in front the table with their citizenship certificate on it. Another officer conducted the ceremony. She explained that we would do the Oath and we repeated each word after her, right hand risen. Then we were done and released. Very quick. There was a flag at the waiting room and the security guard allowed us to take a picture there. And that was it.
I can't believe I'm DONE with USCIS and all this Patience training.
Good luck to everyone! And thanks for the company and the great information. This website really helped me and I made sure to complete my timeline and write my journey there to give back.

Does anyone knows what type of questions are asked in the naturalization ceremony? I still didn't receive the schedule notice, but my new status says I will "answer questions about my activity since my interview" at the ceremony. I just want to be prepared.

How can I request to drop the name change request on my online application? Maybe that would help my case move abit.
Did you do your interview already? I believe it would only speed up your process if the only thing pending was the Oath. You can either send them a message through your online account or call them, I believe both ways would work. In my case I first sent a message through the online account asking if I could do my ceremony in another jurisdiction (I live close to a state border and with just a 30 minutes drive I could be at the other state, where they were doing ceremonies already, while my state was on this eternal hold). Then they called me, saying I couldn't do the ceremony there because of the name change. Then I told them to drop it. They even looked and told me through the phone when the next ceremony would be. Easy.

Update:
With the Southern Illinois Court holding up on judicial Naturalization ceremonies, I decided to drop the name change request. I used the USCIS account to send a message and they called me back today. Right after the call my status changed to "Oath Ceremony Notice Was Mailed".

What's your local office? Try searching the timelines here to see if anyone from that office is still waiting:
https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/citlist.php
My Office in in St. Louis, MO, but I live in Illinois and apparently (and I would like to see where is this rule, bc I couldn't find), apparently I can only do my Oath Ceremony in Suthern Illinois, even though the office has been doing ceremonies for a while already in the MO side. I've used this tool and it looks like I'm the only one from the St. Louis Office in 2020. So I'm hoping someone didn't fill their profile with this information. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyone else waiting for judicial Oath Ceremony in Southern Illinois?
I am talking about the ceremony that requires a judge due to a name change. Anyone in the same situation?
I had my interview in March and still waiting. According to the Court website, no ceremonies will happen before September 30. Just trying to find someone in the same situation to talk to and keep an eye for any movement.
Thanks

Good morning
Texas Filer here Nov 2019
N-400,
I was wanting to change my name as well but since it was going to take much longer, I just called them two weeks ago and now they schedule me for next week Tuesday 6/30/2020 for Oath Taking. Good luck to all
So you called them and said you didn't want to change your name anymore?

@swissbuttercream Here are your answers.
1. How's the sequence. example: do they cover questions/updates to Removal of conditions first, and then do citizenship questions? Anything to specifically prepare for with combo interview?
I believe this depends on the officer. My husband came with me. The officer invited the both of us in together, did the Removal of Conditions first, then asked my husband to leave the room and did the Citizenship interview with me. The Removal of Conditions interview is based on the questions that you answer in the form. I don't remember being asked anything tricky.
2. What sorts of questions did they ask about marriage / document they requested in regards to Removal of Conditions file.
Honestly I don't remember, but bring all the documents you attached to your case and the required ones and you should be fine.
My notice says to come alone, but I'll have my wife come with me and if they do not let her in, she can wait in car. But I feel since it's a combo interview, she should be allowed in with me.
The interview is in the second floor, and you need to go through security to enter the building. The security won't know how to answer anything, but do bring your wife inside with you and let the officer decide once they call you in the waiting room. Also, when you check in, mention you have a pending I-751, so the officer if prepared when they call you.
3. After Interview - did they update your case online immediately or after a few days/weeks?
It was updated immediately.
4. anything else specific to St. Louis Office you think I should know about?
The lady that interviewed us was super nice. Make sure to do your part and study for the citizenship test.
Good luck!
