  1. Do you know how much longer? What is the estimated time difference between the two categories?
  2. One beneficiary is divorced with kids. The other one is married with kids. What is the difference, if I may ask?
  3. Hello everyone, I hope everyone is well. We have a situation where the mother (who is an american citizen) is a senior (+81 years old). We also have siblings who are younger and US citizens. The prospective immigrant is about 40 years old with two children of her own. We know it is probably quicker to get sponsored by a parent than by a sibling. But, what happens if we put in two applications... one is put in by mother and one is put in by sister? Does USCIS process both and whichever gets approved first would be the one we go with? Would they cancel each other? Is that OK to do ? The reason for my question is that there is a worry that we apply through the parent (mother) who is older and may pass away while waiting for approval. We don't want to re-start the waiting clock... The idea was that we apply with both hoping that if immigrant's mother passes away, then we may still use the sibling's application. But, if the mother stays alive, then it would be the quicker route for the potential immigrant. Any thoughts?
  4. 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 6/28/21 at City hall -- Routine Service --> Approved 11 weeks + 4 days later on (September 17th). Applicant 5) Applicant applied on 6/29/21 at USPS -- Routine Service --> Approved 11 weeks + 2 days later on (September 16th). Applicant 6) Applicant applied on 7/6/21 at USPS -- Routine Service --> Approved 11 weeks + 2 days later on (September 23rd). All applications in the routine service were approved as predicted, which took about 11-12 weeks after submitting applications at county/city halls or at USPS office. EXPEDITED APPLICANTS: Applicant 7) Applicant applied on 6/10/21 at USPS -- Expedited Service --> Approved 4 weeks + 1 day later (July 9). Applicant 8 ) Applicant applied on 8/17/21 at USPS -- Expedited Service --> Approved exactly 5 weeks later (September 21st). Applicant 9) Applicant applied on 8/21/21 at USPS -- Expedited service --> Approved 3 weeks + 6 days later, almost 4 weeks, on (September 17th). Applicant 10) Applicant applied on 8/23/21 at USPS -- Expedited service --> Approved 4 weeks + 3 days later (September 21st) All applications in the expedited service were approved as predicted, which took about 4-5 weeks after submitting applications at county/city halls or at USPS office. I hope that answers your questions in regards to Charleston, SC's processing center.
  5. The answer is no they did not send it back. We got the passport with absolutely no issues and without any concerns or problems! The signature was left blank on the certificate.
  6. Now, that's tough to fix! Maybe when they sent confirmation mail to make sure it was you at this address, maybe you never got that mail... and they thought it was not supported for that reason. Who knows...
  7. You may want to sign in or get on "Informed Delivery" through the USPS (Postal Services) website. It will show up on there as a package coming from Passport Services with the tracking information and an estimate of delivery date. Enjoy your trip with your wife...
  8. That is not weird. It is actually within their normal patterns and routine. They are not teasing you and I think it happens to so many people. I expect it to be there by Tuesday (not Wednesday) depending on where you live and would not be surprised if it gets there by potentially Monday. It is not because you paid extra. I think that's the pattern and that's normal for them for many people (paid extra or didn't pay extra).

  10. 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.
