Quick Turaround I can confirm that the online status is pretty random. I dropped my expedited/overnight retuen application off at the oath ceremony on the 1st Apr. Got passport yesterday the 8th. Not bad. It was processed somewhere on the East Coast. I'm on he West Cost.

Dates ... Congrats .. looks like you are done. My estimated date is slipping faster than real time. Moved 2 days later overnight. I guess having some kind of status showing beats the USCIS site at least!

Overnight Shipping Company Anyone know what method they use to ovenight ship on expedited passport applications. Is it FedEx or USPS or what? Any idea if they send it signature required? Thanks.

expedite time I just dropped mine off at the oath ceremony last week. Expedite and Overnight back. Sure a bit disorganised dropping it off so hoping it works out. At least it's State Dept (or more likely a clueless contractor) and not USCIS to blame this tme! I'll post results.

check online Not sure what country you are from but first world you may just be able to do it online. I'm British ... well and a USC as of last week .. I just did it online. Credit card and it showed up in the mail a few weeks later. Worth a look for your country.

Unfiled Taxes ... I'd really encourage you to sort it out with the IRS if you haven't filed as required. Unlike the USCIS at the Citizenship level the IRS are pretty good about catching missed returns eventually. Once they get their teeth into you they never go away. He may not even owe...

Interview to OL .. and the 800 number Today was one month after a "congratulations" interview and no still no sign of a letter. Took Bob Smyths advice and fibbed a bit on the 800 number to save everyone time and money on an Infopass. The IO was very pleasant and said the letter was...

So I'm a month out from interview. Got the congratulations letter after it. I know for a lot of places it can be a bit slow but several people who interviewed after me seem to have got theirs. I'm guessing it may be lost n the mail. SF sounds like it's usually pretty quick What do...

Taxes .. Don't forget the tax treaties only cover certain classes of income. Wages are easy but dividends, cap gains etc are harder. This means you need to be careful with overseas corps. Clever accountants structure corporations to try and avoid the mess but it's not cheap .. and...

Congratulations? Immi3 was it the congratulations box that was checked? Assuming yes. Thanks for the input ... sounds like mine should be here any day.

Oath Dates ... Thanks to Onsen for the hint on this .. for the google impaired here are the oath dates U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Naturalization Ceremonies Wednesday, March 4 @ 10:00 am Tuesday, March 17 @ 10:00 am Wednesday, April 1 @ 10:00 am Wednesday, April...

ID-OL Timing Hi Onsen ... I guess you are right behind me. MY ID was 2/11. I'll post when I get the OL. I applied a couple of weeks before you so it looks like it is a VERY linear process. From the other posts maybe a bit under a month from ID to OL. I'm assuming you must be doing...

Sf do I just had my interview there last week ... mailed n400 early oct. They seemed pretty on the ball so I'm sure they will schedule you pretty efficiently now they have the file. I get the feeling that now the times are short and they moved to centralised processing this kind of thing...

I just had my interview in SF yesterday. Just under 4 months from mailing the N400. I disclosed everything to death. Undocumented traffic tickets back to 1982 with note that the dates were a guess. Maybe 150+ trips out of the country on a big spreadsheet again with a rider that old trips...

Interview Report ... I'd give full marks for customer service. They should give the airlines lessons. On time ... took about 15 minutes. Very pleasant attitude and a painless process. Don't expect the bad attitude you see at the airport coming in on a GC. Feds at work .. they...
