Received my PP and Nat cert together in one envelope Thanks to all again for sharing their experiences. This forum has been a great resource for me specially when the timeline was rough & unpredictable with the immigration bureau. Hope all goes well with everyone.....eventually, Godspeed!

Thanks Huracana and Kagemusha for answers

My check was cashed today, 2 biz days after applying for a passport. Can anyone help me with these please 1. I applied for expedited processing, the online status today says I applied for only routine. This is distressing as I paid good amount for an expedied process. 2. How come there is...

Could it be that you got the "first line of defense" since you have actually crossed the "365 days" standard mark with a priority date of June 9, 2006? Anyhow, whatever works! As usual with the immigration, there is no guaranteed trick that could work, you just have to push your luck...

Thanks for tip!
