  1. I know this is a silly question - but why isn't it possible for the passport to be provided after the Naturalization ceremony? Every single new citizen will want a passport yet they are forced to send their valuable Naturalization certificate through the post almost as soon as they receive it to the _same agency_ that has just approved them to be Naturalized with a form that repeats all the information that they already have from naturalization. Is it just one of those things that has always been like that?

    The State Department, responsible for issuing passports, does not fall under the Department of Homeland Security's jurisdiction, as USCIS does.

  2. Thanks for the pointer. This is indeed nice for frequent travelers. But if you travel only once or twice a year I do not know if it is really worth it or not.

    Agreed, may not be worth it for the occasional traveler, but the application fee of $100 is waived if the applicant is an American Express Platinum cardmember, so if you are one it might not be a bad idea to have this.

  3. JB_VJ: got my passport today, quick turnaround even for expidited....4 days from application acceptance to mailing!

  5. I had no idea you could call them. Could you please give me their number? My wife just did her biometrics for her EAD and GC.

    Thanks

    Yes, you can call them, but just know that they can only tell you if the fingerprints have been sent back to USCIS or not...they will not give any other information.

    Here is the number: 304-625-5590

  6. Completed fingerprinting on 3/20 and updated list. Called FBI to check fingerprint status and was notified that it was sent back to USCIS on same day, now back to the interview date waiting game

  7. Got a letter stating fingerprints expired :angry: and need to get another one taken within 90 days...will be heading out to get a new set taken tomorrow or the day after. Hopefully, things will get going after this!

    But here is my question: I thought fingerprints were good for 15 months, so they are really not expiring till April 30th 2012 (Taken on Jan 30 2011 for ROC), but even if it the fingerprints were only good for 12 months, then they had already expired January 30th 2012, so USCIS waited 2 months to tell me that my fingerprints had expired???

  8. I decided to call USCIS customer service since it's going to be almost 3 months since "Placed in line for interview" and I was told that the Baltimore office is currently processing N400 applications from June 2011, and was also told they are not waiting on anything particular to my application and I was told to make an Infopass if I had any further questions :angry:

  9. I am pretty much in the same boat as you....No bio, placed in line on 11/28, yellow letter 12/22, no update since...Comon Baltimore

    Now I am starting to freak out, I received a yellow letter stating only to bring my driver's licence on the day of the Interview and that was on Dec. 13, 2011; todate, I have not rec'd a date yet.

    is this Normal? I did my bio at Tampa office and no update on my online stat since Nov 2011 stating I will schedule for interview. :unsure:

  10. Hi everybody, I am october filer. I am curious to know that that i havent so far receive my biometrics yet but i got a letter from uscis that i am schedule in line for my interview. My question is will i go for interview without biometrics. Kindly need your consent on this.

    Some people, like myself, had biometrics completed within the last 15 months for removal-of-conditons, therefore got put in line for interview scheduling. But, there is a fellow October filer, 'Tatsi', who was notified of biometrics, after being put in line for interview, so I guess one never knows!
