    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 applied a month before you on June 29th. I have not got mine yet.

    I actually need my certificate more than my passport. They wont let me register for vote without my proof of citizenship. i tried doing it online and it say i am not eligible. so i had to reach out to my congressman for other options to register to vote. They suggested they can help with the passport. I had no idea that s even possible. No body is abusing any system. i have been through so many process compared to them this is nothing. 

    You may not be, but there are others cynically and knowingly abusing the system in this thread...

    No point of rushing passports if there is no emergency(life/death situation etc) trip coming. People have been waiting, abusing it without a real and true reason is not morally right. Just saying.

    Exactly!!! Asking for an expedite because you happen to WANT to travel or have a non-emergency flight booked is a CLEAR abuse of the system....Ridiculous

    Thank you. I need to travel to my home country for personal issue in Nov/Dec. But I don't have flight ticket yet until getting my passport. Moreover, I need my passport and Certificate back to update name change with SSN, before my company doing the tax and send out W2. I also need to change my DL, health insurance, bank accounts and other stuff. Looks like I still have time but due to covid, everything is getting delay. So who knows if I'm able to finish everything by end of the year. I'm not sure if they are willing to help.

    Changing your status with Social Security has NO bearing on your taxes.

    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:

    I agree!!! I will not be using the Google doc, I am using the tracker.

    Called the #877 and they stated mine is at New Orleans Application Center which went to Phase 2 on August 24... Not really sure whether phase's matter, since the status on the webpage says my application will be reviewed when it hits Phase 3, but the guy on the phone said that that isn't the case and he's seen applications get processed from all different offices with all different phases.

     

    Hoping I'm just a few weeks away from the center getting to my application.

    Mine is at New Orleans too...

    IMO, it doesn't matter if you're applying for First or renewal of passport. The tracker and title of the forum is 2020-US Passport & Card Application Tracker. As long as we are all sharing our cases by filling up the tracker, we'll be able to know where did anyone submitted their application and we get to know which passport center does their passport was been processed once they receive it. 

    Thanks for your opinion.

    I am somewhat stressed and any help would be greatly appreciated! My husband is on overdraws orders and I applied for naturalization unter 319 (b).  It allowed to me apply from overseas but one of the stipulations is that the interview and oath will take place in the US. 

     

    However, I can’t get an expedited US passport after the oath because they don’t offer that service right now.

     

    I have minor kids, my husband and also my job overseas and can’t afford to get stuck in DC.

     

    What are my options? Could I just leave and then travel back on my German passport?  Or would I be allowed to apply for the passport from our base or through the embassy in Frankfurt? Or could I apply for my passport and have it sent to our APO address?

     

    I know we are supposed to wait for the passport but I am looking for alternative solutions and would appreciate your help!

    Thinking about you and hoping all goes well! When is your interview?

    It is in bold in the paperwork that is given to the petitioner He did not tell me about it. He showed it to me. I saw it. It did say for. I am confused as to who you are referring to: "no idea what she showed him"?  Also, the lawyer did tell him that yes, they would have to go to court for this, and thus, the hefty retainer, if he wanted to go ahead. 

    I'd LOVE to see what you claim you saw...
