Received my Passport on Thursday 9/30 in one week (expedited)

Hi All
Just an update that I applied for my passport at the Post office and chose expedited last Thursday and it arrived this Thursday in exactly one week. They just sent the passport by itself, the Naturalization Certificate that I had sent will be sent separately.

I did not want country of birth on the Passport, so I just put the City but the Passport came back with Country of birth. I called them about this and they said that you have to indicate that you do not want the country of birth and just the city and I have to go to the local passport office to get it corrected if I wanted it the same day or mail it back to the location in New Hampshire.

Just an FYI for those who don't want country of birth in their passport and put just their city of birth instead. This can be done per some regulation since some countries don't exist anymore...so you have this option.
 
I'm a Citizen! The judge made a comment after we all took the oath on how now we can all sit back, relax, and enjoy the rest of the ceremony, and that's exactly what I did. Such a weight off of our shoulders to have this over with!

Hi,
If you want to put the city only.. what is the exact procedure? Please share this information. On the passport application form I could not see a box where we can indicate that we want city name only..
I will appreciate if you may give details so that we can do the same..
Many thanks..
 
germanyspouse,

Congratulations !!! I have a question for you --- I remember the Indy USCIS office had requested some additional information from you after your interview
Did you get any confirmation from USCIS after you sent the necessary documents? My wife was also asked for some additional court documents for a traffic violation in Indy which I sent promptly but have not heard back from them yet.... and she does not have an oath letter either....

Thanks,

Call you Donkey,

Congratulations!!!

Can someone talk a little bit about putting city of birth as opposed to country when applying for US passport? It is something new and never read about it before seeing it on this thread. I am interested in using city only, because as many of you know, Jews can't travel to certain countries in the ME and I would like to visit UAE, Saudi Arabia and the likes, and concerned if they see I was born in Israel, they will deny my visa request. A friend of mine visited Saudi about 8 years ago, didn't acknowledge his Jewishness because he was curious and was attending a conference there. I don't know why we can't get along together...:(

No, I never received any confirmation that they received my documents (which is why I sent them express with delivery confirmation).

I sent in my documents very quickly - by the end of the week I had my interview, and a little over 1 month later, they sent me the oath letter. That was even with an address change being done online 5 days before the letter was issued.
 
N-14 After Interview - How long do we have to wait for the oath letter (hopefully)?

Hi all,
I and my wife took the interview today.

The IO who interviewed my wife gave a N-14 and requested her to provide proof of her ties with the US for last 5 years. (She had 7 absences, but long trips (less than 6 months but some were 5.5 months).. So it is OK and understandable that the IO wanted tax returns, utilitiy bills, account statements, etc in the file...

My question is: By tomorrow morning, the USCIS office will have all required documents (via mail).. normally, how long does it take for people who get N-14s until the USCIS office sends the oath letter? What are your experiences.. (especially anyone from Miami DO?)

Thank you for your assistance..

Thanks for the information jdade..
I understand that N-14 in your jurisdiction delayed your oath letter 3 weeks.. I hope Miami DO will not delay more.
