just put the request to the postal employee... the charges are la carte in the final bill. To save money further consider priority mail with delivery confirmation ... that might get you a tracking number when it pops up in the system.

Electronic Passport From toll free number... Currently these are issued out of Colorado office only. Would be a while before it gets universal.

Leave from Kathmandu Can you leave from Kathmandu? Just a thought.

Reporting Traffic ticket in N-400 My suggestion: Dont report in N-400 unless the fine was excessive (I've heard $500, and then also $150, have your pick). Why? if you make it official, then be prepared to provide proof. Next: Since you are a forum participant, and care to be well...

Attitudes of Inverview Officers at CLT I noticed an aloofness amongst some immigration officers as they announced names in the waiting room. They seemed to brush away/ignore greetings or small talk candidates may have initiated- sort of rude, if you ask me. Consider this, a vast majority are at...

Had same issue, print name on photo, and then forced to print name on Nat Cert. I wish, I WISH, I had known ahead of time, that what I write on photo is what needs to be on Nat Cert. The USCIS Sup was very clear during oath ceremony, if you print name on photo, you have to print it on the...

Please see couple of my posts & a kind reply just a few posts below... I did call the toll free number, and was told that it did not apply to US Citizens (even for those Naturalized... yes, I asked) It is probably for US Nationals from Marshall Islands etc who are not citizens. Look at the...

Thanks. If it is not a Naturalization Certificate number, it probably applies to US Nationals (think Marshall Islands). In fact, item 23, the oath and signature, mentions non-citizens as an option. That means one can fill/print the passport application form in entirety prior to taking oath.

Passport Form Entry Glad to see this forum... Could the gurus help with a couple of questions? 1. What does item 6 on DS-11 form, "Alien Registration No., if applicable" mean. I dont have nat cert yet, so I dont know if that is what is needed. Is it same as PR number? 2. Any experiences...

Experience with 'Expedited' Passport Service Anybody with experience with expedited passport services, please? Delivered as promised? Thanks!

Applicant's Request for Delaying Oath How easy it is to request an oath delay if offered same day as interview? Is it possible to set a confirmed date (couple of months later) during interview step? Is Nat Cert handed on day of Oath or mailed? Comments, anybody? Thanks.

Fingerprinting tips I'd add two simple tips for fingerprinting at Charlotte: 1. Avoid use of cream or lotion for the day. The fingers need to wet uniformly. 2. Showing up 15 minutes early may get you out sooner (helpful if you are from outside town).
