My documents (Certificate of Naturalization) came today. 10 days after receiving my passport.

Update*** I just received my US Passport today via USPS Priority Mail! Yay!!!
 
I’m still waiting for my Naturalization Document and also my US Passport Card.

You are lucky, Mount Laurel is processing a lot faster than it counterpart in Newark!! I wish the would distribute the case loads evenly between the two field offices in NJ, this way it could truly operate on a first come first service basis.. I would drive down to there if required...

I just became a citizen yesterday.. today send the passport application... it seems they are a little slow on that department but hoping i get it in the next 2 months 

Hi all, my originally cancelled N400 interview for April 17th was scheduled for Mt. Laurel for Sept. 24th. I will write an update after the interview. Good luck to everyone who's interviewing and waiting for an update.

Hello everyone,
 
Is there a thread on Visa Journey for Passport? Looks like after N400, the passport process is another slowwwwwww mover.

Congratulations for those that passed, and those that received interview appointments!

Congratulations Geroaj!!!!! I told you it was going to be straight forward and you were going to get your oath same day. There’s a lot of good officers at that office. Mine was virtual though. Don’t get drunk on that champagne lol.

Geroaj thanks!!!!. I wrote it on a paper, what she did was to send it to the printer that was in the office where I was. She Would send things to me to read or sign. The reading part she sent it to the printer and I read it to her via the video link through the iPad and also the writing part she sent it to the printer and I wrote it on a sheet of paper and held it up for her to see it via the iPad video link . Your GC, passport and drivers license you have to hold it up via the video link and she can see . Basically any documents she needs to see you have to hold it up so she can see through the video link on the iPad. 
If you have further/any questions you can ask anytime . Thanks 

Finally passed my citizenship interview at Mt Laurel today, I applied in September 2019 and my original scheduled date was March 20th, of course it was Cancelled . I remember the night of March 17 I had just finished my reading my civics and checked visa journey lo and behold someone posted that uscis had suspended interviews, I was sad but in life things happen.

On the 9th of July while at work I checked my documents tab and noticed I had been rescheduled for August 4, I felt it was a long way but I was happy and grateful I had a date. Here’s the kicker,on the night of Sunday 2nd August I read that Hurricane Isaias would land on the east coast on Tuesday Aug 4, in my head I was like how come it was this day of all days.

Throughout the last 48 hours I stayed glued to the news but I was resolved to drive to the field office. I woke up this morning and and saw that the governor of NJ had declared a state of emergency but of course I knew uscis was a federal building but like I said I was resolved to go anyway.    My. Appointment was at 9:30, I left my house at 7:30 and got there just after 8, I went to the entrance and I spoke with the security who emphasized my appointment time and that I can only come in 15 minutes prior, I told him I knew but there was an impending rain which I had to beat and I also wanted to be sure the office was opened. He went in, spoke with someone and I was told to come in. While I was waiting outside for the security guy there was a lady who told me She was told they couldn’t interview her because she works at a hospital, I felt bad for her and I said I hope I don’t get turned back also.
 When I got in I went to the receptionist and did all the necessary check in protocols, and waited for my interView. A gentleman called me and took me to an office and Told me it was going to be a virtual interview. There was a lady I could see through the iPad, she swore me under oath asked me six questions and passed, the Questions  were; 1 what is freedom of religion 2what do we call the first ten amendments to the constitution  3how many justices are on the Supreme Court 4how old do citizens have to be to vote 5 Name 3 original colonies 6 l forgot  the Last question.   I had a printer in the office I was, and she would print out things I needed signed or need to read. The reading part was Who do we pay taxes to , the writing part was we pay taxes to the government.She went over all of the yes/ no questions , she didn’t skip a single one And everything was over.She told me I was approved and led me back to the lobby where I waited before taken the oath, as most of you know Jersey is one of the states pre-COVID that did same day oath. Got oath done and received my naturalization certificate. Couldn’t apply for passport because the post office close to my house lost power I also lost power and the state office that also does passport application were closed due to the state of emergency.   I have heard a lot of stories about the mount laurel office and honestly everyone was/is pleasant, from the interviewer to the remaining office staffs. These people come across as people who genuinely want you to become citizens.    Visa journey and all the other immigration forums have helped and will still help guide people in the future, with this I say Thank you for those behind it And also to every single one of you guys; your inputs, suggestions and answers has helped tremendously on this forum.God bless you all.   One last thing I must say or add is that we all in this forum want to be American citizens and call it our home which is a thing of joy but I want us to also dwell on the most Important home , which is the home our father and savior Jesus prepared for us in heaven.    Jesus loves you and he wants us to trust him, He is LORD and SAVIOR.     Thanks so much     

Congratulations!!!, and good luck in everything!
