    Do you have a different feeling for July 4th after becoming a citizen?

    I think that was a typical time line back then. Plus all the re-scheduling delayed me from 4/10/09 to 5/8/09, an extra month. Without that it would have been Nov 08 to Apr 09 = 5 months. H

    Passport card vs. Enhanced DL

    I carry my passport card in wallet, like I used to carry green card. If I lived in a state with EDL I would probably compare the cost of each option over 10 years. That would be $passport card + 2 x $ordinary DL, compared to 2 x $ EDL. Is there a significant difference? Bob

    How many photos to take for interview?
