We have received our passport books earlier today. The online status still says "in the final stage of processing". The only change is that the expected mailing date has been changed from 11/28 (today) to 02/02 (next Wednesday) :)

Does the online status show the tracking number of your passport?
I paid for expedite and overnight delivery. The online status shows I should receive my passport on or about 11/28. However, I haven't received it.

Do you guys get the tracking number for your passport?
 
You can call the National Passport office and give them your application locator number and they will give you the tracking number.
 
I can't believe it. I got the tracking number from the Center then found the mail was delivered last Saturday?!!:eek: But, I didn't see it in my mailbox.

It's lost. OMG... I checked with the USPS then the post office and the postman said he put it into my mailbox.. but, it's just not there.
Can't believe it.:(

I feel sorry for you. I hope very much that things will work out for you. Perhaps I should add that when we received our passports via USPS express mail on 11/28, the postman did not bother to knock on the door of our house. Instead, he just try to fit the envelopes inside our mailbox. Naturally, the tips of the envelopes were visible outside so everyone passing our house could take them out!

P.S. During the N-400 application forum, I also visited a few times another immigration forum (this one is better!). There was a thread with the time lines of the passport applications. Out of about 30-35 time lines there, one read that the passport was lost in the mail so people had to cancel it and reapply. Eventually, they got the passport.

Good luck.

I almost went through to send out the DS-86 for non-receipt passport form yesterday but then I decided to wait for one more day to see if anything miracle would happen.
Turns out that the postman put my passport into other's mailbox (I live in an apartment complex), my neighbor turned in my mail to the apartment manager late this morning at last. Thus though the postman insisted that he checked my name and put into mine, he is totally wrong. Also, the he said it's an blue express mail envelope but it's only an white envelope for photos. Gee.. nothing right at all. I wonder what was wrong with his memory. I read from the web that one person had similar situation as mine that USPS showed passport delivered but he didn't receive it, and the postlady insisted that she put into his mailbox but turned out the passport was found in the post office later. Guess we just can't trust USPS too much.
And, I got my citizenship certificate back from priority mail yesterday.

The happy thing is that it's all done finally. No more dealing with any gov. agencies.:D

Hi WishAllGood,

I am glad that your scary story has a happy ending. At the same time, it is very unfortunate that your postman was not careful with the government mail!
