    I am not going to believe this is happening until it really happens, but here is the story: I naturalized on July 8, applied for my passport at my local post office on July 22, my personal check was cashed early this week, and today I received an email stating that my application has been approved and I would be receiving my passport etc in 6-8 weeks. I checked my status at travel.gov and it says my passport has already been shipped and I should get it within 10 days! And they have even provided a tracking number. 

     

    Are they really working this fast? Or is this a system glitch? My  head is reeling at this point. 

    Congrats! Yes one other person reported receiving their passport this fast recently. Which state are you in? I'm starting to think that the passport center in Irving, TX is taking much longer than the office that handles the rest of the states.

  3. I read in another group that they started processing the backlog and someone who applied in February from overseas got a notification that their passport is in the mail now. Baby steps slowly slowly.. we are waiting to apply for our initial passport until expedited becomes available. That way if we do have an emergency come up we will still have our documents and can go in person

    Two different decision trees.  Maybe the volume of passport applications is so low that operating the second print facility makes little sense 

    Except people who applied for their passports in Feb still haven't received them, there is a backlog of over 1 million applications and immigrants who just naturalized have almost zero chance to get their passports anytime soon.

    I don't think there was ever a question about the department of state wanting to restart visa services.   Consulate reopening is contingent first and foremost about local conditions.   As an example, Tokyo might be on the verge of restarting but on the other hand, don't expect Rio to reopen anytime soon 

    Disagree. The State Department has not even reopened passport offices in Texas and the Irving TX passport printing facility (1 of 2) is still not staffed. The latest update on the passport website says they will reopen based on local conditions. There is nothing stopping them from reopening in Texas, a state that is pretty much back to normal at this point. 

  6. Good news congrats! I'm hoping that the oath ceremonies will be more determined based on what is happening in the local community in terms of shutdown status rather than the local office status. For example ours was canceled because the local venue where it was supposed to take place shut down operations that week even though ceremonies happened the same week in other places.

    Hi folks,

    Anyone from Austin/San Antonio area having their oath ceremony on Feb 28 2020 or at the US Court House(5th Street) in Austin. Mine is scheduled at US Court House in Austin. I do not have a name change so I am guessing its an administrative ceremony. I am a bit confused why they placed me for oath at the US Courthouse as I checked at the judges calendar and there is no ceremony under any judge on the 28th of Feb most probably since mine is not a judicial one. Can there be an administrative oath ceremony in the court house? 

     

    Please let me know guys,thanks

    I read that some ceremonies can do both.. they just deal with the name changes at the end for those who have them. They have them in all kinds of places too. When was your interview?

    My interview is early morning on Monday in San Antonio. I am bringing the originals asked in the interview notice. Not sure if I need to bring photocopies of those originals as well? Do I also need to bring copies of the additional relationship evidence I supplied with my application? 

     

    How do you folks decide what to bring? 

    Ours is this week too, we are bringing the originals mentioned in the letter and our most recent bank statements/financial evidence. Also copies of the submitted application and the tax transcripts. Good luck for your interview and please post tomorrow how it went!

    applied 9/18/19

    Waiting for interview call. Expected completion: 03/20

    Interested to hear when your interview will take place. We applied about 1 month later and will be out of the country around the timeframe I think it will happen based on the timelines from this summer.. kind of hoping they slow down a bit for the holidays so we don't have to reschedule!
