  1. Hello, I'd like to share my passport application timeline as might be useful for comparison as a new data point. 2/18 applied in USPS for card and passport book. Paid for both ways express and expedited. 2/22 In process with locator number "69". 3/8 Approved 3/9 Mailed with a USPS tracking number 3/10 Received a old gen. passport book in mail. One thing I noticed is that once the status changed from "Approved" to "Mailed", they provided me with the USPS tracking number, but later on after 5-6 hours, when I checked it had changed back to "Approved" and still is. So Basically, it might be a system glitch, but looks like they share the tracking number and if you don't see it by chance, you'll assume it used to be "Approved" and still is "Approved" although in the meantime it had already one change.
  2. I just wonder why do we even need to update SSA? From what I've read, USCIS automatically updates the SSA about the citizenship status after 2-3 weeks from naturalization. What would exactly the updating of SSA personally, do if you already had a regular SSN card and didn't change your name?
  3. I just noticed that your locator number was 69, but received a NGP in contrary to what you expected. Can you please share from where your passport was mailed? My locator number is 69 too and then I'm hopeful to get a NGP either.
  4. congrats for completing the whole journey. I just wonder is your passport a NGP or old style?
  5. I'm planning for a travel in March and applied yesterday with expedited service. I got several copies after singing my NC and paid all the fees to the USPS with my debit card. It was an easy process and without no hassle. They sent my package to Philadelphia as the first step of processing. All expedited passport application from all states get sent there first and then assigned to different offices.
  6. Nice. Do they provide photocopies services too or have to find a place like CVS to make a photocopy from my naturalization certificate before my passport appointment?
  7. Hi I'm filling in the online passport form (DS-11) and wonder should I print it out single-sided or double-sided? By the way, which of online form or by hand filling you recommend? My own understanding it makes it more convenient and readable, is this right or there are other aspects I'm missing? One more question. Do the USPS offices have money order for paying the department of states fees or I have to buy it from somewhere else before attending my appointment? Thanks.
  8. I'm having my oath ceremony on this Thursday, but have not received the oath letter in the mail yet and going to print out myself today. I just wonder is the oath ceremony letter which is being sent out by mail, single-sided or double sided?
  9. I live in Las Vegas, NV and as you mentioned, I can print out the form and everything would be fine. But just was curios to hear from others to see if this is a normal procedure as the ceremony is on the next Thursday, I should have already received the letter and was thinking it's delayed more than normal.
  10. How long does it usually take to receive the oath ceremony letter? Mine is saying was mailed on Jan 27th and my oath ceremony is scheduled for Feb 17th, but I've have not received there letter yet after about 13 days.
  11. How does the assignment of passport application to different locations happen? Is it random or there is a pattern like most of the application from a states goes to a specific state. I'm from Vegas, if it matters.
  12. Then maybe it's really a software glitch. I even googled and apparently some other people had this issue either, but wasn't able to find out how they manged to resolve it.
  13. Hello, I'm trying to make an appointment on USPS passport website at https://tools.usps.com/rcas.htm and after entering my zip code and then finding a proper location with lots of available dates around the date I'm looking for, always see the message "There are no time slots available for the total number of people selected. Please select a different date or location." while I choose only 1 Adult with no minor. I've tried other browsers, locations and dates, but the end result was the same and basically I get this message for all other locations and dates. It seems to me, it's software bug and wanted to check to see if this is the correct and how can resolve this issue, if you had similar experience? Thanks.
  14. I want to get the new generation passport so bad. Just wonder, could it be said, the odds of getting NGP is becoming higher than old passport (more than 50%) in this year as many of the printers already replaced with new one or it'd take more time to reach that point (majority being NGP)?
  15. I applied in December 17th, 2020 and did my interview in Las Vegas, today. The interview was smooth and easy and the officer was friendly and approved my application after interview and said, will put me in the oath ceremony list. When I got home, I had several notifications from USCIS and noticed the oath ceremony is scheduled for February 17th and posted under documents tab. I'm so glad the whole process of my immigration is over and hope the same for all you guys here.
