Things may be different now .I did mid Dec 2020 when the ceremony happen in the USCIS office downtown Chicago where they were handling the info-pass appointments too . I didn't have any info-pass appointment and just walked to the counter as i was already in the building for the ceremony 

I did and got it . I got my naturalization ceremony in Chicago and just after the event directly went to the infopass counter and asked for a certified copy and got it in 15 mins . But when applied in post office they didnot accept that certified copy and wanted the original
 
 
 
 

They won't give the tracking # for onward journey even if you paid expedite .there will be a 7-10 day from the time you applied in USPS to be able to track in the system . There is nothing I believe we can do in between to trace it .

you can pay by personal cheq for both State and USPS  . I did it like that so i can easily track when they cash my cheq.
