  1. Oh I didn’t know that. Thank you.
  2. Ugh! That sounds like a frustrating experience. I have heard from many posts here that appointments are hard to come by, but I don’t know, slots are wide open at the office near me. I could get an appointment in the next hour if I wanted. Not sure if it is my office being in a region with low population (Portsmouth NH), or if things have generally improved for all offices recently.
  3. Thanks for your input. Yeah you are right, I would rather do it the next day. However the next day is a Saturday and we had plans to travel to NY to MIL's house for Thanksgiving on Sunday, so there is a time crunch. Worse comes to worst, I will cancel the appointment, and then rebook for one on Monday, postponing our travel to NY.
  4. Question for @Babu Frik and others who have had oath at USCIS office (not in court). How long is the process? My oath letter says 10:45 appointment. The latest appointment at the passport office that day is 12:30pm, and I am wondering if I can make it.
  5. AAA is American Automobile Association. Many people (maybe most) who own cars in the US have this membership for road side assistance. They provide free or discounted photo services for members, but regular paid service to others. I don’t think it is expensive either way, $15 I think. And they have a reputation of providing photos that generally don’t get rejected by passport office unlike other places.
  6. I may be wrong but I understand the passport office for urgent passport (same-day) do not have the ability to take your photo. Photo services are only available when submitting at USPS. @Rhema1 my advice is to take the photo ahead of time. AAA is known to be good for taking quality photos with low rejection rate. Congratulations on getting oath scheduled!
  7. Thanks, that helps. I know, I too am just glad to be approaching the end of the process. Must be such a relief to receive your passport. Enjoy!
  8. May I ask, was this at the courthouse in Concord or at the USCIS office in Bedford?
  9. Good to know. Did you apply for your passport yet? Also, were you able to have any guests at your ceremony?
  10. How does one know if guests are allowed at an oath ceremony. The letter I received is silent about it. My oath location is at a USCIS office.
  11. No unfortunately it is domestic travel to NY. I do have some international travel planned for December/ January, so hopefully can apply for same day service passport on account of that. I am too nervous to apply by mail.
  12. I have been travelling, so haven’t been able to update. After I put in my reschedule request on Oct 16, I got a notification on Oct 24 that my oath has been now scheduled for Nov 21. Very relieved it hasn’t been pushed out too far. This new date also happens to clash with my Thanksgiving travel plans, but I learnt my lesson, and going to change my travel and make sure I attend the oath. 😁
  13. Have a great ceremony @Babu Frik. Congratulations in advance!
  14. Life has been a little crazy and I haven’t had a chance to update all of you. Thursday (Oct 16) morning I got notification that my oath is scheduled for Nov 7. Unfortunately, I will be overseas on that date and will be back on Nov 8. So I called the USCIS number and requested a reschedule. I then talked to Jim Hacking who told me that was a really dumb thing to do, and I should have cancelled my trip or come back earlier. But it was too late since I already placed reschedule request. So, just to make sure the request is in the right hands, husband and I drove to the field office first thing Friday morning, and handed them a letter requesting reschedule. Guard was super nice and accommodating and after speaking to officer told me the officer said it wasn’t a problem, and I would be rescheduled Later that day I got notification that my oath was cancelled and I am back in queue. Little gutted for having not done more to attend the oath as scheduled, but atleast I feel better that the case is in the right hands and not in the black hole. I hope they will reschedule me for later in November, but that may be optimistic. Will keep you all updated. edit - on Friday when I went to the office, there was an oath ceremony scheduled to take place that morning. I was thinking, please please, can’t you just let me take the oath today. Ofcourse it is never that easy. 😁
  15. I think things may have changed recently and they have become more easily available. It’s the same where I live. Practically all slots available every day.
